Why Does Data Accuracy Start from the Syrian Field?
Research work in the Syrian context carries unique challenges that differ from anywhere else in the world. The diversity of social backgrounds, the disparity in infrastructure between cities and rural areas, and changing living conditions are all factors that require the researcher to be more than just a transmitter of information; they must be an expert capable of unraveling complexities and transforming them into clear insights.
When organizations or government bodies conduct field surveys, they often aim to understand the genuine needs of the community, measure the developmental impact of specific projects, or study public opinion trends. If the inputs are incorrect or inaccurate, the outputs – and consequently the policies and plans based on them – will likely be doomed to failure or ineffectiveness. This has driven us at ‘Insight Syria’ to dedicate our efforts to building a stringent quality control system that surpasses the traditional standards followed in regional markets, matching the best global practices while considering local privacy in its entirety.
Our Story with Quality: How Do We Verify 20% of Every Survey to Ensure Unmatched Accuracy in Our Data?
The efficiency of market research and opinion polling firms is measured not only by the volume of data they collect but also by their ability to demonstrate the reliability of this data. Our motto “Our Story with Quality: How Do We Verify 20% of Every Survey to Ensure Unmatched Accuracy in Our Data?” is not just a flashy marketing slogan; it is a daily operational protocol and a strict practice we apply in every project, regardless of its size or nature.
How do we do this practically? Let us take you on a detailed journey inside our research operations kitchen:
1. Direct Field Supervision and Monitoring
The quality control process begins before taking to the field through intensive training for field researchers. However, once data collection begins, the independent quality monitoring team (which does not work as field researchers but as monitors) springs into action to oversee the workflow. At least 20% of the completed surveys are audited through multiple mechanisms including:
- Back-checking: The quality monitoring team randomly contacts at least 20% of the respondents who completed interviews to re-ask key questions and verify the validity of the answers, ensuring that the interview was actually conducted correctly and at the designated time.
- Surprise Field Visits: Supervisors visit work teams at various locations to monitor the questioning style and ensure that researchers adhere to complete neutrality and transparency.
2. Advanced Technical and Programmatic Checking
In the age of digital data, technology has become a key ally in ensuring integrity. Our digital surveys are engineered to include automatic validation rules that prevent the entry of inconsistent or illogical values. Moreover, every survey undergoes a thorough technical check by our data scientists to uncover:
- Outliers & Speeding: Surveys completed in an unrealistically short time, indicating the researcher rushed or the respondent was not serious.
- Straight-lining: Cases where the respondent consistently selects the same option (e.g., always neutral) across hundreds of questions without conscious reading.
Here too, we ensure that at least 20% of these questionable cases are reviewed and verified manually and programmatically to correct or completely discard them, preserving the purity of the database.
3. Content Audit and Logical Consistency
Data analysts and statistics experts at ‘Insight Syria’ examine intersections between answers. If a respondent has stated a certain paragraph at the beginning of the survey and contradicts it completely in the second half, the survey is flagged. 20% of these contradictory surveys are carefully examined to determine whether the error is due to a misunderstanding of the question by the respondent or a recording error by the researcher, to address them immediately before closing the data collection phase.
Why is Data Accuracy a Key Pillar for Government Institutions and Organizations?
When a governmental entity or international organization contacts us looking for a reliable partner to conduct a social or economic study or a public opinion poll, their greatest concern is: “Can we trust these figures to present to our donors or rely on them in our strategic plans?”.
The answer at ‘Insight Syria’ is a resounding yes, and the reason lies in our strict commitment to the methodology of verifying 20% of every survey to ensure unmatched accuracy in our data. Relying on weak or biased data leads to:
- Resource Waste: Directing support or developmental projects to areas or categories that may not actually need them, compared to more vulnerable groups.
- Wrong Political or Administrative Decisions: Building on distorted readings of public opinion or the economic reality that may exacerbate problems rather than solve them.
- Losing Credibility: When an international organization or governmental body relies on a research report that later turns out to be inaccurate, it severely damages its institutional reputation.
Therefore, our investment in ensuring quality is not an operational luxury; it is an ethical and professional commitment to our clients and to the Syrian community as a whole.
