Finding out how many citizens have which needs, and what their preferences are between alternative options (e.g. through surveys, opinion polls, preferenda).
- Some consultations set out to find what particular groups of people need.
- Others try to find out what preferences people have between different options.
- In either case, apart from discussion systems, we often use surveys and votes to quantify the needs or preferences.
- computers can help send out surveys, collect the results, and analyse them. They can also be used to run a quick vote in a meeting, or by subtle analysis of preferences, find underlying consensus between oponents.
