MAXDIFF

Maximum Difference Scaling

A method for measuring feature importance: respondents select the most and least important item from a short set, repeated multiple times.

Why it matters

Provides a stable ranking of the importance of many features at once.

What's missing without it

Without it, all features receive a 'important' rating and no meaningful insight emerges.

When it is used

When determining the priority of benefits, barriers, and product features.

How we use it

Sets of four to six features, results converted into weights.

Fun fact

Why it works better than a 1-to-10 scale: on a scale, people tend to mark 7s and 8s for everything. MAXDIFF forces a decision.
