A clear process from brief to recommendation

Research works best when objectives, responsibilities, and expectations are agreed early.

Strata Metrix Research Delivery Model and Workflow
01

1. Understand the Decision

Every project starts with the decision to be made. We examine what is already known, where uncertainties exist, and what evidence could change the commercial direction.

Key Activity: Briefing alignment, definition of research objectives, identification of critical stakeholder questions.
02

2. Assess Feasibility

Before confirming scope, we evaluate audience availability, screening complexity, incidence rates, geographical coverage, and time zones.

Key Activity: Sample frame review, incidence testing, country-specific language requirements, realistic timeline definition.
03

3. Design the Study

We select the methodology best suited to the objective — evaluating CATI telephone fieldwork, CAWI online collection, or mixed approaches — and structure the research instrument.

Key Activity: Questionnaire design, quota framework setup, screening rule definition, analysis planning.
04

4. Prepare and Test

A strong questionnaire requires thorough implementation. We program the survey, verify skip patterns and validation rules, brief interviewers, and conduct pilot tests.

Key Activity: Survey programming, CATI interviewer briefings, logic verification, data export testing.
05

5. Conduct Fieldwork

Interviewer-led telephone calls, quota tracking, respondent callbacks, and active fieldwork coordination are carried out under agreed quality supervision.

Key Activity: CATI operations, appointment scheduling, quota management, daily progress tracking.
06

6. Review and Analyse

Data undergoes rigorous validation, logic checks, coding of open-ended responses, cross-tabulations, and thematic analysis.

Key Activity: Dataset cleaning, statistical summaries, group comparisons, identification of evidence limits.
07

7. Report and Recommend

We translate the evidence into practical guidance, connecting research observations with business priorities, trade-offs, and next steps.

Key Activity: Executive summary, chartbooks, cross-tab tables, actionable commercial recommendations.
