    To '''comparison shop''' is to 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]].
