choices are made
(trade-off)
Measure the tenacity
with which people
stick to their
preferences through a
user friendly survey
Learn how perceptions
compare and what is most
important to people
Identify what people are
willing to trade off to keep
what matters most
Design, deliver, and/or
communicate new or
existing programs

Optimize policies to create
