Survey Design & Data Collection
A survey is only as good as its design — questions that avoid bias, a sampling plan that holds up to scrutiny, and a form that gives you clean data from day one.
What's included
We help write questions that avoid leading or double-barrelled wording, work out a sampling plan appropriate for your population and timeline, and set up the digital form itself — Google Forms, Kobo Toolbox, ODK, or similar — so responses come back structured and ready to analyse, not a column of free text you have to clean by hand afterwards. If you're collecting data in the field, we can also advise on paper-to-digital workflows.
Who it's for

- Customer feedback programmes

Questions about this service
I've already collected data on paper — can you help?
Yes, we regularly digitise paper-based surveys into a clean, analysable dataset.
How long does survey design usually take?
A straightforward questionnaire can be ready within a few days; more complex sampling plans take longer. We'll give you a timeline after seeing your research question.
