Abstract: A pulsed-survey service may be provided by obtaining a question sequence including a number of survey questions, and determining a base survey-pulse rate, such as once per week, but no more frequent than once per day. During each pulse period, for each of a number of subscriber entities, a pulsed survey is performed. Each survey pulse poses and collects responses for at least one, but no more than ten percent of the survey questions. Both intra- and inter-entity benchmark statistics are determined for the pulsed-survey responses, and the statistics and survey results are provided for presentation to the subscriber entity via a survey-results interface.
