Data Quality

Inconsistent responses are completely excluded.

Is it possible to have survey panel in Southeast Asia?
Are you worried about the quality of their answers?

With W & S Indonesia and Vietnam survey panels, answer quality is our main priority.
Not only applying the screen control system, we also conduct visual review of the response, to ensure high quality for the research results and guarantee its validity.

In order to deliver the accurate data, the data retrieved by W&S will be checked through investigation as showed in the "logic check sheet". Any discrepancy within respondents' responses will be excluded. Thus we only deliver the valid and reliable data.

Data Cleaning Process

1.Before delivering the final valid data, we will present the Logic check sheet, where we specify the conditions that lead to incorrect or inconsistent answers.

2. Based on the conditions in Logic check sheet, we will perform the Data Cleaning process.
In case respondent' answers are alike/confusing, we will directly contact that particular respondent to get their clear confirmation.

Logic Check Sheet

Before processing and analyzing data, we will check the answers carefully based on the Logic check sheet to make sure the reliability of raw data.
