Quality Standard
Axis Research strictly adheres to quality procedures of Esomar/ ICC (International Code of Conduct).
This means 20 -25% of all respondents undergo quality control via spot checks or back checks within
48 hours. 100% quality checks are applied to any interviewer when errors are discovered. Affected
interviewers are required to stop work until the problems are clarified and properly sorted out.
The quality controllers employ a specially designed questionnaire, interviewer contact sheets and site
maps. Sampling, respondent selection criteria and the quality of the interview being performed are
regularly assessed. The Quality controllers are experienced, and well-trained in quality control, honest
and are mindful about the project specifications as well as the interviewers’performance. Their reports
are directly forwarded to the Project Manager and totally separated from fieldwork.
All Axis interviewers undergo a very thorough selection and
recruitment process, professional training, piloting and examination
prior to commencement of fieldwork for any project.
There are likely to be several supervisors involved in a survey. However,
one supervisor will be in-charge of a team of 6-8 interviewers.
Supervisors report directly to the Field Manager.

Quality Standard
The questionnaire is typically designed by Axis and approved by Clients. The questionnaire covers
all information required to meet the research objectives. It is tailored such that the length of time is
comfortable for the respondents so as to draw the best quality response from them (maximum 45
minutes for quantitative survey, and 2 hours for Focused Group Discussion Setting (FGDS).
Before starting fieldwork, researchers themselves will organize pilots in order to make sure that the
questionnaire is accurate, relevant, easy to understand, systematically and logically designed.
Respondents are recruited based on criteria stated in the approved proposal.
After the fieldwork briefing, each interviewer is subject to an internal pilot before going to field.
Client’s representatives are invited to attend the fieldwork briefing and internal pilot at Axis office and
are asked to provide their comments for fieldwork improvement. Client’s representatives may likewise
accompany Axis interviewers in the field, if desired.

day (day & evening time) to observe and understand
their circle of friends, their favourites, etc.. (photos
taken, where appropriate)

    Quality Standard Axis Researchstrictly adheres to quality procedures of Esomar/ ICC (International Code of Conduct). This means 20 -25% of all respondents undergo quality control via spot checks or back checks within 48 hours. 100% quality checks are applied to any interviewer when errors are discovered. Affected interviewers are required to stop work until the problems are clarified and properly sorted out. The quality controllers employ a specially designed questionnaire, interviewer contact sheets and site maps. Sampling, respondent selection criteria and the quality of the interview being performed are regularly assessed. The Quality controllers are experienced, and well-trained in quality control, honest and are mindful about the project specifications as well as the interviewers’performance. Their reports are directly forwarded to the Project Manager and totally separated from fieldwork. All Axis interviewers undergo a very thorough selection and recruitment process, professional training, piloting and examination prior to commencement of fieldwork for any project. There are likely to be several supervisors involved in a survey. However, one supervisor will be in-charge of a team of 6-8 interviewers. Supervisors report directly to the Field Manager.
