Description
Compare consecutive product labels against a supplied unique order.
Consumer-study records can describe exposure, recall, option availability and purchase-value bases. Local record arithmetic preserves a supplied study or billing convention without measuring preferences, establishing memory accuracy or determining consumer rights.
Compare consecutive product labels against a supplied unique order.
When to use this tool
Use Product Trial Order Transition when checking a supplied consumer-record, recall-window, choice or basket convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter previousProduct, nextProduct, suppliedOrder. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read repeated, bothKnown, orderDelta. Inspect repeated, bothKnown before interpreting the associated values.
Compare consecutive product labels against a supplied unique order. repeated uses literal equality, bothKnown checks membership, orderDelta is next-index minus previous-index when known, otherwise zero.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| previousProduct | Previous Product | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| nextProduct | Next Product | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedOrder | Supplied Order | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| repeated | Repeated | Required. Boolean. |
| bothKnown | Both Known | Required. Boolean. |
| orderDelta | next index minus previous index when both known; zero placeholder otherwise. | Required. Safe integer. |
{
"input": {
"previousProduct": "A",
"nextProduct": "C",
"suppliedOrder": [
"A",
"B",
"C"
]
},
"output": {
"repeated": false,
"bothKnown": true,
"orderDelta": 2
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Zero orderDelta with unknown labels is a placeholder; this does not establish experimental counterbalancing or preference.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use actual study data, validated measurement methods and applicable merchant/consumer rules for substantive behavioral or transaction conclusions.
