Indicators for result evaluation.

INDICATORDESCRIPTION
Degree of copying versus isolationThe extent to which participants opted to either create unique responses or follow the herd effect by copying the responses of others. It is defined as the number of copied proposals divided by the number of original proposals.
Amendment of responseCollective intelligence entails generating answers through collaborative interaction. It is defined as the number of proposals created in a concrete phase that reach the end of the experiment.
Final degree of agreementNumber of copies for the most shared answers (best 5), which helped us determine the network’s degree of clustering, or the final level of consensus among the participants.

Most copied proposals for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, Clean Water and Sanitation.

POSITIONPROPOSAL TEXT# OF COPIES
1Create more wells for the common good, well covered but also very useful, so that people would have more water to wash themselves and also for their consumption23
2Stricter laws banning polluting products such as agricultural chemicals, pesticides, wet wipes…22
3Increase of desalination plants, with this objective we will be able to make water that is not so clean much more useful, above all for the use20
4Avoiding deforestation19
5To make people aware of how important clean water is in their lives, without it they could not live and since people waste it, if we can raise awareness among those people who rely on wasting it and not putting it to very good use, this could be a great progress for humanity.18
