Streamline Surveys Ltd specializes in developing custom made solutions to address specific questions facing clients, as such it does not offer off the shelf information.

Each field project is a multi-stage process that is supervised by a central team

  • Rigorous methodology: Strict random selection of sampling units, proprietary random walk methodology and kish-grid based selection of interviewees (where relevant)
  • Comprehensive training and close supervision:
  • Extended training of field teams (usually two days) to ensure a high level of understanding for each survey
  • Direct supervision by experienced team coordinators during field work.
  • Exhaustive quality control
    • Phone number and e-mail address collected at the end of each interview
    • Surveys audited for completion and quality via random call-backs
    • Interviews conducted with tablet computers that time stamp each response
    • Tablets also record GPS coordinates for each interview
    • Questionnaires without a location or with an incorrect location automatically excluded from the final sample
    • Voice recording of selected questions and answers
