Abstract: Techniques for improving performance and quality in a market research platform include: obtaining first usage data of a first set of survey respondents to a first market research survey, the first market research survey being associated with a first tenant of a multi-tenant market research survey platform and conforming to a market research survey template provided by the platform; obtaining second usage data of a second set of survey respondents to a second market research survey, the second market research survey being associated with a second tenant of the platform and conforming to the market research survey template; generating a template-specific quality filter associated with the market research survey template, based at least on the first usage data and the second usage data; and based at least on the template-specific quality filter and third usage data of a particular survey respondent, identifying the particular survey respondent as a low-quality respondent.

Abstract: Methods of generating heat maps of assets using clustering of assets are disclosed. Some methods include receiving a list of assets, assigning the assets to one or more heat range categories based on the status of the assets, assigning assets operating within a zone to a zone cluster, assigning the assets of the zone cluster to category clusters based on the heat range categories assigned to the assets. The positions of the clusters may be calculated for mapping, and may be displayed on a map. Some embodiments of these methods allow a user to quickly detect and locate non-standard assets on a map while standard assets are consolidated to clusters that are less prominent to the user. This leads to minimizing the time required to form responses to de-load hotspots in an electrical grid, minimizing the cost of assets by reducing the need for hardware redundancy, and minimized equipment outages.
