Differentiators

The Vital Findings Twist

  • Highly-customized survey design

    Our research instruments are framed tightly around your specific business objectives. Before we hit our keyboards, your project team brainstorms the questionnaire outline, visual questions, and hypotheses, putting their collective wisdom on the page.

  • Respondent-friendly user experience

    We nix the jargon and write questions that respondents only need to read once, on the device of their choice.

  • Visual questionnaire design

    We identify complex, subjective, or potentially confusing questions and present them in a creative and visual way to improve comprehension, data accuracy, and survey engagement. Examples include visual timelines, graphical scales, and video tutorials.

  • Global reach, locally customized

    With half our quant outside the U.S., we know that simply translating a questionnaire into another language doesn’t cut it, so we do our homework on the local market context and capture unique, local issues as well as global ones.
