Methods and systems consistent with the present disclosure identify useful ways/means of maximizing levels of participation from a target audience based on identifying a strong positive sentiment toward real-world decisions performed by members of a group of persons. Members of a particular group of persons may be considered a human swarm or a skilled human swarm that provide information relating to factors that prevent group members from making a commitment. Members of a human swarm may have been selected based on a series of tests that identify skilled persons. Once a particular sentiment is identified, that sentiment may be broadened or extended by combining information or by identifying differences (contrasts) between factors, answers, assessments, or forecasts provided by humans as compared to a machine intelligence, via an iterative process that statistically raises a level of participation with members that have strong sentiments regarding a class of products or services.
