Visit protocol
Five phases on the day, from address review to a supervisor-reviewed submission, as planned for Colaba and the surrounding Mumbai City addresses. The 5-point checklist is fixed before dispatch so each visit records the same fields.
Before the visit
Address review & routing
Your sampling plan, screener and questionnaire version are confirmed, and the 5-point face-to-face interviews (papi / capi) field checklist is briefed to the interviewers who will work it. Sampling points in Colaba (400005) are plotted around Gateway of India before anyone travels.
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 Colaba building or outlet needs prior clearance, that permission is taken before the interview starts.
On site
Checklist & evidence capture
All 5 checklist points are worked in order — "Correct questionnaire version used" and "All routing followed" 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.
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 clean data file (Excel / SPSS) reflects the field and not an estimate.
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 clean data file (Excel / SPSS), with the Colaba address and pincode 400005 on every row; anything that fails review goes back to the field.

Local visit planning
Plan the assignment around the actual premises—not just an area name. Here is what matters for field visits in Colaba.
For visits around Gateway of India, share the complete Colaba address, building or outlet name, floor, contact person and any entry permissions. The listed pincode 400005 is a reference; confirm each address before dispatch.
Colaba includes tourist retail, cafés and hotels. Match the checklist to the premises: an outlet audit, office verification and industrial site survey each need different evidence and access arrangements.
Locations around Causeway market and Sassoon Dock can be grouped after address review. Visit windows depend on opening hours, contact availability, travel and site permissions—not the pincode alone.
If a Colaba 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
Stated plainly so the brief and the field report agree. Anything outside this is quoted and authorised before dispatch.
Anything beyond this scope can be added to the brief before dispatch — it is then scoped and quoted, rather than assumed in the field.
