Quality Statement

The quality control of the output is the core principle of Magenta Consulting work. This includes an obligatory pilot testing of the questionnaires before the main survey, which allows assuring that the terminology used in the questionnaire is correct and the respondents correctly understand the questions. The obligatory trainings with the interviews assures that they understand all the questions and can explain them to respondents when needed. All the questionnaires coming to the office are verified for the precision and coherence of the responses, also taking into account the verification questions.

While doing quantitative studies Magenta uses a double entry method of data (to avoid the errors caused by human factor in data input process) as well as applies all the relevant statistical such as frequency mapping, use of field Check Tables, statistical tests of correlation and significance tests.

Magenta Consulting verifies validity of at least 30% of questionnaires when accomplishing quantitative studies, thus assuring the highest standards of the output quality. This is done at expense of Magenta, so that we can proudly position ourselves as a company that puts the quality and reliability of the collected data among its top priorities.
