Methodology

Scientific survey design with transparent, defensible methods.

Every project is built on solid methodological foundations: clear research questions, representative samples, and transparent reporting. Our work is designed to withstand internal scrutiny, media attention, and public review.

  • Sampling & recruitment
    We design samples that reflect the populations our clients need to understand, using RDD, list-based, panel, or blended approaches as appropriate.
  • Questionnaire design
    Question wording, ordering, and scales are developed with bias minimization in mind, balancing rigour with field practicality and respondent experience.
  • Weighting & analysis
    Results are weighted to reliable benchmarks (such as recent Canadian census data) and analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques to support clear, actionable insights.
  • Reporting & deliverables
    Findings are delivered in concise decks and data tables, with clear narratives that stand up to internal decision-making and external communications.
