Accelerate Your Data Collection Pipeline
Your principal researchers should be interpreting insights and writing reports, not formatting CSV files. Let your Sagedoer VA handle the operational grunt work.
Survey Programming
Translating word document questionnaires into functional digital surveys in Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, or Typeform, ensuring flawless user experience.
Logic & Branching Setup
Configuring complex skip logic, display logic, piped text, and quotas to ensure respondents only see relevant questions and your data remains pure.
Data Cleaning & Formatting
The most tedious step. Identifying speeders, straight-liners, and incomplete responses in Excel. Formatting raw CSV exports into structured analysis-ready datasets.
Panel & List Management
Organizing contact lists, importing participant data, formatting Mailchimp/email distribution lists, and sending out automated survey invitations and reminders.
Basic Tabulation & Charting
Generating top-line reports, running basic cross-tabulations in Excel or SPSS, and formatting preliminary PowerPoint charts for your lead analysts.
QA & Testing (Soft Launch)
Rigorously testing survey links on desktop and mobile, verifying data capture, and hunting down typos or logic breaks before launching to a 10k+ audience.
Single Point of Contact
Send your Word Doc questionnaires to your PM; they assign the VA to program it.
No Platform Markups
Bypass the bloated overhead of freelance marketplaces. Pay only for pure logged work.
Centralised Tracking
Transparent shift reports show exactly how long data cleaning or programming took.
Quality Assurance
Your PM audits survey logic loops and tests links before passing them back to you.
