Frequently asked questions

Get the facts straight from our experts.

Survey scoping is the process of defining the feasibility, audience, methodology, timing, and cost of a study before fieldwork begins. It includes elements such as deadlines, target respondents, eligibility criteria, quotas, geography, incidence rates, and sample size.

At Potloc, this process is led by market research experts who quickly create a detailed research proposal with project specs and recommendations, helping identify gaps that could otherwise delay, complicate, or compromise the study.

Proper scoping helps ensure the study is feasible before launch and reduces the risk of changes mid-project. Potloc’s expert scoping process is designed to identify potential issues before launch, including:

  • Unrealistic quotas
  • Overly restrictive eligibility criteria
  • Insufficient audience reach
  • Timeline constraints
  • Survey design issues affecting completion rates

Addressing these early reduces the likelihood of project delays or rework later.

Based on your desired survey outcomes, Potloc’s experts may provide recommendations on:

  • Audience targeting
  • Sample composition
  • Quotas
  • Methodology
  • Fieldwork timing
  • Feasibility trade-offs related to quality, speed, and cost

Once projects move into the survey creation phase, Potloc’s experts also suggest optimizations to your questionnaire design to improve respondent engagement, mitigate bias, and weed out fraud.
