Polling data, focus group results and public surveys have typically been the tools used for this purpose. But what if there was a new way to rapidly test out multiple policy directions - proverbial "trial balloons" - against vast swaths of stakeholders? What if you could get a rapid sense of where opinions and perspectives lie?
