01The forcing move — no fence-sitting allowed
One move inside a run.
Two options in. A reasoned preference out.
- Settle an A/B you can’t afford to ship both sides of
- Compare price points, taglines or concepts — not in the abstract, side-by-side
- See the margin, not just the winner — and the segments that disagree
- Force a preference where a survey would let everyone fence-sit
02On the record
It disagrees with you — with quotes.
“B, but barely — A’s headline is clearer, I just don’t believe its claim. Fix that and I flip.”
“At $49 I’m comparing you to spreadsheets; at $99 I’m comparing you to my analyst. Different fight.”
“Everyone in my segment will pick the safe concept. Ask the new-to-category folks before you kill the bold one.”

The options are judged side-by-side in one session, and the server tallies a reasoned preference — winner, margin, and segment splits — instead of leaving you to eyeball two transcripts.
