Once the survey data has been collected, Opinion Search can sort and categorize the open-ended comments for you.

With experienced Coders on staff, we start the collapsing process while your project is still in field.  Once a code frame has been created by us and approved by you, a numeric value is assigned to each comment for inclusion in your data file and analysis.  We target less than 10% of responses remaining in the "other" category and create a category for any mention that accounts for 1% or more of total responses.

Quality is never forgotton.  After all open-ended comments have been collapsed and coded, our team of Quality Assurance Coders double-check 50% or more to ensure accuracy and consistency of the categorization.

Sometimes it just has to be paper. And when that's the case, Opinion Search can take care of the data entry.  Whether it's 100 surveys or 10,000 surveys, we've tested our data entry personnel for both accuracy and speed and can build the team you need.

By enforcing complex skip patterns, valid response ranges and randomly verifying a minimum of 10% of all survey entries, you can be sure that nothing gets by us.  And for those clients who want to be doubly certain, we can use our double data entry protocol - any inconsistencies between the first and second data entry passes are flagged and verified.

Wouldn't it be nice to have someone handle all aspects of your research project?
