Data integrity is crucial in quantitative research. If the numbers can’t be trusted, market research quickly becomes worthless. But how can agencies build teams capable of delivering data integrity? And what questions should clients ask agencies to make sure what they’re looking at is real? 

This webinar with Michael Calvert is full of practical advice on how to achieve data integrity.

Learn the importance of joined up teams and singular accountability for all three elements of the data collection process: the panel, the survey, and the data cleaning post field.
