In Intrashop comparison we take two or more [[product]]s off the [[retail shelf]] (probably listed by [[barcode]]) or the [[web]] (probably listed by [[URI]]) and determine what [[price premium]] would be required to make one buy one or another. If their prices and point of origin are known, then a high reliability [[Consumerium buying signal]] can be issued that says "buy this one, it is the best balance of [[price value]] and [[moral value]] and [[local value]]." If not, the signal will be less reliable and probably must rely on an abstract [[score]]. This information is stored in the [[Signal Wiki]] (aka [[Content Wiki]]). Some people reject the idea of [[price premium]] and prefer to think in terms of absolutely-acceptable and absolutely-rejected products. This seems unwise as we all have our limits. However, for these people, prices aren't needed, they simply need a more elaborate [[Consumerium buying signal|signal]] that's sufficient to convince them that the better [[price value]] is the worse [[moral value]] or [[local value]]. This will require undoing some [[brand propaganda]] perhaps, a function of the [[Research Wiki]]. There is also '''intershop comparison''' which [[Consumerium Services]] should avoid as it distracts from the main mission, but could be provided by another service that operates on the same [[healthy buying infrastructure]]. Unless it is specifically prohibited by the [[Consumerium License]], this will always be possible, and it might inhibit [[friendly retail]] operations to some degree - so this should be escalated to the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].
