Data Collection and Analysis

General Procedure

Before Analysis

• We begin by collaborating with you to clarify the objectives, scope, and intended outcomes of the analysis.

• We may request access to relevant datasets, completed surveys, codebooks, or supporting documentation.

• Based on your input and the data available, we create or refine a data analysis plan to ensure alignment with your goals in mind.

​

Data Cleaning and Preparation

• Upon request, we clean and preprocess the data to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency—addressing missing data, low responses, outliers, or formatting issues.
   

Preliminary Analysis

• We perform summary statistics or exploratory analyses to better understand the data's structure and quality, setting the stage for more in-depth analysis.
   

Primary Analysis

• We conduct in-depth analysis to identify key patterns, trends, relationships between variables, or to test hypotheses, address objectives, or answer research questions, as appropriate to the defined goals

​

Data Visualization

• Throughout the analysis, we use visual tools—such as charts, graphs, or dashboards—to communicate findings clearly and tell a compelling data story.
   

Reporting and Feedback

• We present initial findings and interpretations for your review, with clear summaries and visualizations.

• Your feedback is encouraged—we’re happy to discuss insights, clarify results, or refine the analysis based on evolving questions.
   

Finalization

• Incorporating your input, we finalize the analysis and deliver a comprehensive report detailing the methods, results, and interpretation.
