Overview

The fastest part of survey work — drafting the questions — is also the part most likely to introduce bias, since a badly worded question produces confident numbers that are simply wrong. AI drafts quickly; the actual skill being sold is question design and result interpretation, checked by someone who understands what makes a survey answerable in the first place. Sold per-project to startups, agencies and researchers who need results they can trust, not just a fast turnaround.

Why it works

Badly worded surveys produce confident numbers that are wrong, and the skill is in question design and interpretation - the part AI drafts fastest is also the part that most needs a human to check for bias.

How it makes money

One-off project

How to start

  1. Learn what makes a question unanswerable: leading wording, double-barrelled asks, missing options.
  2. Start from the decision the client wants to make, and work backwards to the questions that inform it.
  3. Keep the survey short enough to finish - completion collapses past about twelve questions.
  4. Draft question variants with Claude, then cut the ones that assume the answer.
  5. Pilot on ten people and watch where they hesitate or ask what a question means.
  6. Build it in Typeform with logic so nobody sees irrelevant questions.
  7. Agree the sample and distribution before launch; a well-written survey sent to the wrong list tells you nothing.
  8. Analyse open text by coding to themes, keeping real quotes as evidence.
  9. Report findings against the original decision, not as a chart dump.
  10. Price per survey, with analysis as a separate line.
  11. Offer a repeat wave so the client can measure movement rather than a single snapshot.
