Sample Set Binding: Panelists Enter Letter Code
Overview
Example scenario: You are short on staff to serve samples and would like to make the serving as efficient as possible. You prepare all the sample sets on trays. The blind coded samples are arranged on each tray in the order the panelists are expected to evaluate them. Every tray is labeled with a letter starting with A all the way to the last sequential letter corresponding to each unique sample set (sample order).
For example, if your design has 6 unique orders, then the letter codes would be labeled A through F. The sample orders on each tray labeled with a letter code matches the sample order of the corresponding sample set in Compusense.
The expectation is that panelists come in, take a tray of their choice or you give them a tray you wish to give them, they go to a booth, log into Compusense, and enter the letter code they see on their tray to begin their evaluation.
The video below will walk you through a hands-on exercise for setting up a sample set binding option in your test where panelist enters a letter code to receive a sample set. We use a Triangle test example, but other test methods can benefit from this binding option, such as Tetrad, in/out testing (also known as pass/fail), etc.
