Smart Flags for Quality Control
These checks help ensure responses are complete, consistent, and coming from attentive survey-takers.
- Screener checks: Use as many screener checks as possible. These are some of the most critical QC checks you can use. [Read our article on developing a strong screener here.]
- Behavioral checks: Apply straight-line checks to approximately 50% of looped Single-Select matrices. [See our article on Behavioral checks here.] Note that all non-looped Single-Select matrices are automatically checked, so you don't need to worry about them at this stage.
- Contextual checks: Include at least two contextual checks. [Learn more about Contextual checks here.]
- Attention checks: Incorporate at least one attention check. [More details on Attention checks here.]
- QC module: Our QC module provides many robust, commonly used checks. [Learn more about our QC module here.]
- Custom checks: If possible, implement custom flags based on your specific survey. [Learn about custom checks here.]
