Audience and design
Define category purchase recency, purchaser versus user, relevant brands and market mix. Agree exposure order, device suitability and comparable questions before distributing the survey.
Illustrative research plans
See how a research question becomes a working plan.
These scenarios illustrate planning choices. They are not completed client projects, testimonials or promised results. Audience availability, methods, quality rules and outputs would be agreed for the actual study.
01 / Study Scenarios
Consumer goods: choose a packaging direction.
A brand team may want to understand whether two packaging routes communicate the intended benefit clearly enough to progress to further testing.
Review and intended handover
Review qualification, inconsistent responses and relevant open ends under the agreed rules. The intended handover could include audience comparisons, message themes and limitations. Stated preference alone would not establish sales impact.
02 / Study Scenarios
B2B technology: understand a buying decision.
A software team may need to learn which barriers matter to people involved in evaluation, budget approval and implementation.
Audience and design
Separate decision influence from final authority. Specify organisation size, technology involvement and decision recency; a job title on its own is insufficient. Agree which role combinations and markets are essential.
Review and intended handover
Use role-consistency screening and suitable response review. A possible output is a decision-role comparison, reported barriers and questions for follow-up interviews. Independent employment or authority validation would require an agreed method.
03 / Study Scenarios
Healthcare: explore an experience without blurring audiences.
A research team may wish to understand how patients or caregivers experience a particular service journey, alongside a separately defined professional perspective.
Audience and design
Define experience, care involvement, market and timeframe. Keep patient, caregiver and professional eligibility separate. Agree sensitive-data handling, consent and any client-specific escalation responsibilities before recruitment.
Review and intended handover
Review fit against the approved screener and record relevant exclusions. Intended outputs could include reported journey themes, audience differences and recruitment notes. The design would not establish clinical efficacy or replace specialist interpretation.
