Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: Biased framing and context for different industries skews results, Rankings lack transparency and don't show nuanced breakdown, Can't adequately judge complex industries with blanket comparisons, Sparse data makes rankings unreliable and unrepresentative, UI issue: start button doesn't appear on mobile browser
Feature requests: Add text input for users to explain their position on topics, Show consistency analysis across user's answers and correlations, Display full ranking comparison matrix rather than just ordered list, Add 'both are good' or 'I don't mind either' button option, Show how user's opinions compare to aggregate public opinion
