Visit protocol

How a central location test visit runs

Five phases on the day, from address review to a supervisor-reviewed submission, as planned for Santacruz and the surrounding Western Suburbs addresses. The 5-point checklist is fixed before dispatch so each visit records the same fields.

  1. 1

    Before the visit

    Address review & routing

    Your sampling plan, screener and questionnaire version are confirmed, and the 5-point central location tests (clt) field checklist is briefed to the interviewers who will work it. Sampling points in Santacruz (400054) are plotted around Kalina before anyone travels.

  2. 2

    On arrival

    Arrival, ID & permission

    The interviewer shows ID, explains what the study is for, applies your screener and records the respondent's consent before the first question is asked. Participation stays voluntary and the respondent is never nudged towards an answer. Where a Santacruz building or outlet needs prior clearance, that permission is taken before the interview starts.

  3. 3

    On site

    Checklist & evidence capture

    All 5 checklist points are worked in order — "Venue booked and set up" and "Coded samples served in order" among them — and each result is recorded against its item on the spot rather than from memory afterwards. Responses are entered exactly as given, with nothing recorded outside the approved questionnaire.

  4. 4

    Close-out

    Acknowledgement & close-out

    The interview is closed, its duration logged and the respondent's contact kept for back-check only where consent allows. Refusals, terminations and quota misses are logged as they happened, so the participant data file reflects the field and not an estimate.

  5. 5

    Same day

    Supervisor review & submission

    Before anything reaches you, a supervisor checks the day's submissions for checklist completeness, screener and quota compliance and correct coding, and random back-checks are run on a sample. Cleared work goes into your participant data file, with the Santacruz address and pincode 400054 on every row; anything that fails review goes back to the field.

Evidence & quality

Evidence standard & quality controls

What is captured on the ground during central location tests (clt) in Santacruz, and the checks it passes before it reaches you — 5 checklist points and 4 report outputs per assignment.

Captured on every interview

  • Date, time and the name of the field interviewer logged against every interview
  • GPS and time stamp of the interview point, the screener outcome and the respondent's consent record
  • Participant data file — built from the field record, not retyped later
  • Attendance sheet — built from the field record, not retyped later
  • Venue photographs — built from the field record, not retyped later
  • Session report — built from the field record, not retyped later
  • The Santacruz address as it reads on the premises, with pincode 400054, flagged where it differs from your list

Fields are limited to what your brief authorises — nothing extra is collected or stored.

Checked before it reaches you

  • Supervisor review of every submission — all 5 checklist points answered, with a reason recorded against anything marked not applicable
  • Random back-checks on a sample of completed interviews by a second person
  • Interviewer-wise error rate reviewed; interviews that fail a back-check are rejected and replaced
  • Exceptions kept separate from completed work, so your 4 report outputs show action items rather than silent gaps

Any row can be traced back to the original field record, so a query on one interview is answerable without a fresh visit.

Commissioning triggers

Who commissions this / when it's triggered

Product Testing work like central location tests (clt) is usually asked for at a specific moment, not on a calendar. These are the briefs we see most often from clients operating in Santacruz and across Western Suburbs.

01

Product & R&D teams

A formulation or variant has to meet real users

Coded samples are placed or served in the prescribed order, with usage and scores captured exactly as instructed. A typical brief here is a 5-point central location tests (clt) round across Santacruz and nearby Western Suburbs addresses.

02

Research agencies

A test has to be run under controlled conditions

Venue, recruitment, sample handling and session timing are run to the protocol, with attendance documented.

03

Marketing

Before a pack, recipe or price change is committed

Users respond to the actual product in their own home or at the venue, not to a description of it.

  • Checklist point: Participants recruited to quota
  • You receive: Participant data file, Attendance sheet, Venue photographs, Session report
  • Covered: Santacruz (400054), Western Suburbs

Local visit planning

On the ground in Santacruz

Plan the assignment around the actual premises—not just an area name. Here is what matters for field visits in Santacruz.

Exact address & access

For visits around Kalina, share the complete Santacruz address, building or outlet name, floor, contact person and any entry permissions. The listed pincode 400054 is a reference; confirm each address before dispatch.

Local business context

Santacruz includes airport-linked offices and residential. Match the checklist to the premises: an outlet audit, office verification and industrial site survey each need different evidence and access arrangements.

Route & appointment planning

Locations around Vakola and SNDT can be grouped after address review. Visit windows depend on opening hours, contact availability, travel and site permissions—not the pincode alone.

Exceptions & revisits

If a Santacruz location is closed, inaccessible or does not match the brief, the team records the outcome and available evidence. A revisit is scheduled only after your instructions and scope confirmation.

Scope

What's in scope / what isn't

Stated plainly so the brief and the field report agree. Anything outside this is quoted and authorised before dispatch.

Included in a central location test assignment

  • The agreed central location test checklist worked point by point — Venue booked and set up; Participants recruited to quota
  • Each point recorded as found, including "Hygiene and timing rules followed", with a reason noted wherever an item cannot be completed
  • Consent, screening and quota checks at every interview, with the approved questionnaire version used throughout
  • Your report pack: Participant data file, Attendance sheet, Venue photographs, Session report
  • Exceptions, refusals and inaccessible interviews logged with the reason instead of being left blank
  • Supervisor review of every submission, with random back-checks on a sample of the completed work
  • Visits planned around Santacruz (400054) and Kalina, grouped with nearby Western Suburbs addresses on the same route

Deliberately out of scope

  • No influencing, prompting or coaching respondents towards an answer
  • No data collected beyond the approved questionnaire or screener
  • No interview without the respondent's consent — participation stays voluntary and can be stopped at any point
  • No substitution of respondents outside your sampling and quota rules
  • Questionnaire design, weighting and analysis are separate work, not part of the fieldwork

Anything beyond this scope can be added to the brief before dispatch — it is then scoped and quoted, rather than assumed in the field.
