Methods Tailored for Your Assignment

Key-Informant Interviews

Interviews with decision-makers, regulators, executives, programme managers, associations and other institutional stakeholders.

In-Depth Interviews

Individual interviews exploring customer journeys, personal experiences, needs, motivations and barriers.

Expert Interviews

Targeted conversations with sector specialists, investors, researchers, practitioners and market participants.

Focus Group Discussions

Online or in-person moderated discussions used to test products, messages, policies, services and programme concepts.

CAWI — Online Surveys

Online surveys using research panels, client databases, digital recruitment and targeted outreach.

CATI — Phone Surveys

Interviewer-led telephone surveys using contact databases, targeted lists or Random Digit Dialling.

CAPI — Face-to-Face

Face-to-face surveys conducted with digital questionnaires in households, communities, institutions or commercial locations.

PAPI — Paper-Based 

Paper-based interviewing for settings where digital data collection is impractical or inappropriate.

Site Visits & Observation

Direct observation of facilities, services, processes and operating conditions at relevant project locations.

Facility & Service Assessments

Assessment of infrastructure, service delivery, accessibility, capacity and compliance with defined criteria.

Third-Party Monitoring

Independent verification of whether programmes, activities and outputs were delivered as planned and reported.

Social Media Listening

Analysis of digital conversations, audience sentiment, emerging narratives and behavioural patterns.

Media Monitoring 

Monitoring of traditional media to identify actors, events, risks and market developments.

OSINT

Collection and verification of open-source information to identify actors, networks, assets, events, relationships and emerging risks.

GIS & Spatial Analysis

Mapping and analysis of geographic data to reveal spatial patterns, service coverage, accessibility, regional disparities and priority locations.

Screening Databases

Screening through LexisNexis, World-Check and other specialised databases to identify ownership, sanctions, PEP exposure, adverse media, litigation and reputational risks.

Desk Research

A practical review of reports, databases, regulations, statistics and market sources to establish context, answer research questions and inform decisions.

Literature Review

A structured synthesis of academic and grey literature to assess existing evidence, theoretical approaches, methodological quality, consensus and knowledge gaps.

Specialised Research Assignments

  • We identify and recruit respondents according to their sector, role, expertise and decision-making authority. Target audiences may include executives, business owners, procurement managers, distributors, investors, regulators, healthcare professionals, engineers and association representatives. Recruitment combines industry databases, professional networks, direct outreach, local experts and respondent screening.

  • We coordinate data collection across several countries through a common methodology and analytical framework. Research tools are adapted to local languages, regulations and market conditions, while qualified in-country researchers provide contextual knowledge and access to relevant respondents. DataDriven manages quality control and integrates country-level findings into a comparable analysis.

  • We develop dedicated recruitment and engagement strategies for respondents who cannot be reached through conventional panels or databases. This may include vulnerable or conflict-affected groups, displaced people, veterans, specialised professionals, senior officials and participants discussing sensitive experiences. Research tools, consent procedures and moderator profiles are adapted to the audience and context.

  • When decisions must be made quickly, we develop streamlined research designs that prioritise the most critical evidence. Data collection can be delivered in phases, allowing early findings to inform subsequent interviews, sampling choices and analytical priorities without compromising methodological consistency.

International Outreach

DataDriven works directly across Ukraine, as well as conducts research in other geographies. For international assignments, we engage our team members, and qualified local researchers, moderators, interviewers and sector experts. Our international team and extensive network provide the language capabilities, market access and contextual knowledge required to conduct research worldwide.

Data Delivery Process

1

Research Design

We define the research questions, target population, sampling approach, respondent categories and most appropriate collection methods.

2

Tool Development

We prepare questionnaires, interview guides, moderator guides, screening forms, consent materials and observation checklists.

3

Recruitment & Fieldwork

Respondents are recruited through panels, databases, professional networks, local partners, digital outreach and direct engagement.

4

Quality Assurance

Tools are piloted before launch. During collection, we monitor sample composition, questionnaire logic, interview quality, response patterns and adherence to research protocols.

5

Data Processing

Data are cleaned, coded, labelled and documented. Where required, we apply weighting, prepare transcripts and develop thematic coding frameworks.

Evidence Clients Can Use With Confidence

Quality controls are adapted to each method and include interviewer training, supervisor checks, audio review, call-back verification, quota monitoring, response-duration analysis, duplicate detection and transcript review. Participation is always voluntary and based on consent. Personal information is handled through controlled-access procedures, and research outputs are anonymised where appropriate. Our approach follows relevant GDPR, ESOMAR and research-ethics principles.
