Can a citizen be satisfied with some stances but not others?

Can a citizen be satisfied with some stances but not others?

@mscuthbert Do you mean to show both sides? Like to include the stances the citizen was unsatisfied with on top of the satisfied ones?

Right now, the code only shows one or the other based on how the citizen voted, but not both. If the citizen will support, then all of the stances that met their preference/threshold are listed. Similarly, if the citizen did not support, then all of the stances that failed to match their preference are listed. We thought this would provide hints in both directions and explain why some citizens voted while others didn't.

This is HUGE progress in the right direction. I think @mscuthbert's comment is right on -- would be worth showing that even citizens who voted YAY have some preferences unfulfilled, and vice-versa.

I'd suggest that moving forward we split the adjustment and feedback into two views. That way we can have a richer view of the survey data. Something like this:

Right now, the model makes the game reasonable well-tuned in difficulty for South Africa, but playing in Kenya or Botswana is too easy. We may need to tune thresholds individually.

ryaanahmed commented 4 years ago

I also really really think we should cut some of the parameters. It's too many to hold in your head and understand what's going on. I'd suggest 4-6, tops.

ryaanahmed commented 4 years ago

Also: I wonder if we shouldn't show the sample set from the full country by default as feedback -- it makes things too easy. Might be good to reserve that until the results view.

@ryaanahmed separating the feedback from the adjustment sounds like a good idea. we can work on that next.

i believe ben and felix have already cut down on the parameters but just didn't make a PR yet

@amy-lei great! This is really taking shape.
