7. A computer-implemented method for obtaining human input regarding an item of interest to a user, the method comprising: identifying, by a computing system, a first plurality of human respondents by matching user-defined query criteria with human respondent profile information, wherein the user-defined query criteria identifies one or more characteristics of individual human respondents; based on a determination that the number of human respondents identified in the first plurality of the human respondents does not satisfy a threshold, modifying, by the computing system, the user-defined criteria; identifying, by the computing system, a second plurality of the human respondents by matching the modified user-defined query criteria with human respondent profile information, wherein the number of human respondents identified in the second plurality of human respondents satisfies the threshold; for individual human respondents of the second plurality of human respondents, providing one or more questions regarding the item of interest to a computing device associated with the human respondent; and receiving at least one response to the one or more questions from the human respondent.
