Data collection tool development
The digital instrument your team uses to collect clean data from day one.
Who this is for
Teams about to run a survey or routine data collection who want the instrument built properly, so the data comes in clean rather than needing months of fixing afterwards. You run the collection; we build the tool.
The work
What we actually do
Most data problems are designed in before a single record is collected, in a form that asks the wrong thing, a skip pattern that loses half the responses, or missing validation that lets impossible values through. We build the instrument so those problems never happen.
Working to your specification, we develop the digital data collection tool on the platform you use, ODK, Kobo Collect, Survey Solutions or a similar CAPI system, with the question logic, skip patterns, constraints and validation built in. You keep full control of the tool and the data it collects. We build what you collect with; the collection, and the data, are entirely yours.
What you receive
- A digital data collection instrument built to your specification
- Question logic, skip patterns and constraints, tested
- Validation rules so implausible values are caught at entry
- The deployable tool on your chosen platform, with documentation
