importance data indicative of the level of importance survey participants respectively attribute to the individual desired outcomes; and
satisfaction data indicative of the present level of satisfaction survey participants have with the ability of current products or services to achieve the individual desired outcomes; and
evaluation data for potential features that could be implemented to provide the desired outcomes, wherein the potential features evaluation data includes;
desirability data indicative of the affinity survey participants have for the individual potential features;
processing the collected survey data using a computer processor, including;
calculating, based on the importance data and the satisfaction data, opportunity scores for the individual desired outcomes, wherein the opportunity scores are indicative of the extent to which the desired outcomes are valued by the survey participants and presently unmet by current products or services; and
correlating potential features with desired outcomes that the potential features could provide; and
ranking the potential features based on the collected desirability data for the individual potential features and the calculated opportunity score for the individual desired outcomes.

Abstract
A method for performing a market analysis may include collecting survey data, which may include evaluation data for desired outcomes, the desired outcomes consisting of attributes of one or more products or services. The desired outcome evaluation data may include importance and satisfaction data. Further, the survey data may include evaluation data for potential features. The potential features evaluation data may include desirability data indicative of the affinity survey participants have for potential features. The method may further include processing the collected survey data using a computer processor. The processing may include calculating, based on the importance and satisfaction data, opportunity scores for the individual desired outcomes. The processing may also include correlating potential features with desired outcomes. In addition, the processing may include ranking the potential features based on the collected desirability data and the calculated opportunity score.
