  • Publication number: 20220277326
    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.
