Users of the Nudge for Change app are asked which issues matter the most to them, which then sets the system’s compass to each individual’s personal moral preferences. Whenever a user enters a retail establishment, the app checks the brand’s score of one to ten in the various value categories, and if a score is particularly low in an area that the user prioritizes, the app sends an alert.
