Currently, our MaxDiff tools cannot analyze anchored MaxDiff data. Instead, a customer needs to construct new variables that incorporate the anchoring data into a legacy Ranking question. See https://wiki.q-researchsoftware.com/wiki/Anchored_MaxDiff This process is often quite tedious and challenging for a user. They need to create often hundreds of new variables, programming them all by hand. Updating our R-based analysis tools to incorporate anchoring data would dramatically simplify the analysis for our users.
