What Does an Insights Support VA Do?
They are the operational backbone of your research team, handling the tedious pre-analysis preparation and post-analysis formatting so your analysts can focus on finding the "Why".
Quantitative Data Ops
- Programming surveys into Qualtrics, Typeform, or SurveyMonkey from a Word doc.
- Cleaning raw CSV data exports (removing straight-liners, speeders, and bad open-ends).
- Formatting raw data tables and running basic crosstabs in Excel.
- Pulling secondary research statistics from industry reports and databases.
Qualitative Logistics
- Recruiting and scheduling participants for 1-on-1 interviews or focus groups.
- Processing and cleaning AI-generated transcripts (Otter.ai, Rev) for accuracy.
- Managing and distributing respondent incentives (e.g., Tremendous gift cards).
- Highlighting and categorizing quotes from transcripts into a central grid.
Reporting & Visualization
- Charting data in PowerPoint or Keynote according to your strict brand guidelines.
- Ensuring consistent formatting, fonts, and colors across massive 100+ slide decks.
- Updating recurring tracker dashboards in Looker Studio or Tableau with fresh data.
- Proofreading final reports to ensure charts match the stated insights.
Protect Your Data Quality Without the Overhead
Hiring junior analysts locally costs $60k+/year. Relying on freelancers is risky when handling PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Sagedoer provides a fully managed, NDA-bound professional overseen by a dedicated QA layer.
Dedicated QA Project Manager
Your single point of contact. The PM reviews the VA's PowerPoint formatting, double-checks data cleaning logic, and ensures deadlines are strictly met. This management layer is 100% free.
Strict Data Privacy (PII Safe)
We understand the sensitivity of consumer research data. All VAs sign rigorous, agency-enforced NDAs and follow your strict protocols for handling or anonymizing PII before analysis.
No Agency Retainer Fees
Avoid the massive markups of traditional temp agencies. You pay strictly a flat hourly rate for the pure operational hours logged by your VA. Maximize your project margins.
