Turning the checklist into a field form
- One question per line for each of the 5 points, with a fixed answer format
- A mandatory photograph against the points that decide the outcome, starting with village or ward as per plan
- A remarks box for anything the checklist does not cover
- An outcome code at the end of the form
- Job ID and location ID pre-filled rather than typed on site
When is a visit counted as complete?
A visit is complete only when every checklist item has an answer and the required evidence. Visits that could not be completed are marked inaccessible, with the reason, and sent to you for a revisit decision.
What you receive
- Village-wise completion
- Data file
- Field route log
- Back-check summary
What to share before the visits
- Research objective and target respondents
- Questionnaire or screener
- Sample size and quotas
- Timeline and data format
Key takeaways
- A rural & Peri-Urban Field Surveys checklist is only useful when each of the 5 points has one fixed answer format and a matching piece of evidence.
- The checklist runs from village or ward as per plan to gPS and photo of location, with evidence recorded against the points that decide the outcome.
- You receive 4 outputs: Village-wise completion, Data file, Field route log, Back-check summary.
- Photographs are geo-tagged and time-stamped, every submission is reviewed by a supervisor and a random sample is back-checked — which is what makes a consumer surveys record worth quoting internally.
- Visits run across Mumbai City, the Western and Eastern Suburbs, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Panvel, and assignments typically start within one to three working days of a complete brief.
What to do next: turn the checklist into a brief
A checklist becomes an assignment the moment it has fixed wording, an evidence rule against each point and a location list behind it.
Freeze
Lock the wording of every point
Field staff answer exactly what is written. Keep all 5 points to one question with one answer format, including gPS and photo of location.
Evidence
Attach a photo rule to each point
A wide shot for context and a close-up for detail, both carrying the job ID and location ID so the file can be matched later.
Send
Pair it with the location list and deadline
Send the checklist together with research objective and target respondents, questionnaire or screener, sample size and quotas, timeline and data format — that is a complete brief, with nothing left to chase.
