Distributing points¶

Participants distribute a personal point budget across the available options. This captures not just preferences but also their intensity. You can put your full budget on a single option or spread it broadly.

How it works in Rhizome¶

Each participant distributes their points according to their own priorities. Rhizome sums the points across all participants and ranks the options accordingly. The result reflects both broad support and strong individual preferences.

Use cases¶

Use distributing points for prioritization, budget allocation, or selecting from a large number of options. It combines well with ranking when you need both weighted and ordered results. Distributing points also works as a preliminary gauge before a consent decision. For more on combining modes, see combining decision modes.
