As you can see below, Kluster is packed with group-influence goodness. Take the tour and Start a Kluster Now!

PRIVATE PARTY:

Your kluster is your kitchen. Only the people you invite will be able to see what you've got cooking.

COLLABORATIVE BRAINSTORMING:

Enable participants to submit ideas and solutions. Ideas can be shared using text, audio, video...virtually any uploadable file.

MULTIPLE CRITERIA:

Participants rate ideas based on the criteria you define. For example, in a project to find the best new logo, you might assign uniqueness, readability, cool factor, color choice, etc.

RELATIVE INFLUENCE:

Assign the importance of each criteria relative to each other. For example, here at kluster, we tend to weight an idea's cool factor way higher then its profit potential. You can also weight influence differently for each participant type. Here, we also devalue the founder's input relative to the rest of the team. Ooops. Did we just say that?

DATA, DATA, DATA!

Your kluster will tell you how much support an idea has, from who, and why—giving you the information you need to make better decisions throughout your project. It can also tell you whose support you're really going to need to make it happen. It's not always who you think!

RELATIVE INFLUENCE:

Of course, you'll want to judge ideas on multiple criteria, things like profitability, commercial feasibility, cool factor, etc. But you may also want to factor in the relative importance of each criteria. For example, we tend to weight cool factor way higher then profitibilty. Oops.

HYPOTHETICALS:

Play with the kluster EQ tool to test different scenarios. What if that super-hip guy in the mailroom's opinion was as important as your crusty Creative Director's? Hmmm....

But wait, there's more!

INFINITE UPDATES:

We're R&D freaks—always building new stuff. As soon as we develop a new decision-making tool, it'll be avalible in your kluster. No bump in fees, no hassles—just better toys and better decisions.

UNLIMITED USERS:

kluster is about mass participation. No caps. No surcharges. Go big!

PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE:

You choose your kluster's look and feel.

SECURE ENVIRONMENT:

All of your communications and the identity of your participants are protected in kluster's SSL environment.

EXPRESS ADMIN:

Invite new users, give troublemakers the boot (and most importantly) change user roles on the fly (just in case super-hip mailroom dude gets promoted to Creative Director in the middle of your project). Just point and click.

PASSCODE ACCESS:

We hate subscription systems where you have to invite users one at a time. So we created our own pass-code technology that lets you blast your entire user base—email, blog, IM, however you want to do it—to get the word out and let people do the sign-up work themselves.

FLEXIBILITY:

You can cancel or change your subscription any time. We ain't your cell phone company—no long term contracts here.
