AI+ for Survey Design & Analysis

Better Questions, Better Insights

Better questions. Cleaner data. Findings that act.

You've run surveys before. The data comes back and you're not quite sure what it's telling you — or whether you asked the right questions. This book gives you a structured methodology for the complete survey lifecycle: the 30-prompt Survey Prompt Toolkit, AI-assisted thematic coding for open-ended responses, and the finding → insight → recommendation chain. Built by an AI engineering firm for researchers who know a survey is only as good as the question before the question.

Inside
  • 30 ready-made, market-tested prompts: survey design, question construction, sampling plans, data cleaning, quantitative analysis, thematic coding, recommendations
  • A complete survey lifecycle methodology — from "what do we want to find out?" through to action-ready findings
  • A thematic coding workflow for open-ended responses that handles 500 comments in an afternoon
  • The finding → insight → recommendation chain that turns survey data into stakeholder action
  • A 30-day plan for HR managers, marketers, evaluators, researchers, and policy analysts running surveys
Who this is for

Any professional who needs to design, run, and make sense of surveys but was not formally trained in research methodology. This includes: HR professionals designing employee engagement surveys, marketers running customer satisfaction research, academics conducting mixed-methods projects, programme evaluators assessing impact, public health researchers, policy analysts gathering public views, and project managers tracking stakeholder sentiment. The book is cross-context by design — the survey craft is the same whether the respondents are employees, customers, patients, students, or citizens.

Also for:Graduate students and early-career researchers learning survey methodology for the first time; and market researchers who want to accelerate their existing workflow with AI assistance.
