Why GEMR

Four things that decide whether fieldwork holds.

Every field supplier promises quality. These are the structural choices that actually produce it — and the ones we would ask about if we were buying.

  • Our own field force

    The people who collect your data are briefed, scored and accountable to us. Studies are not passed down a subcontracting chain where quality and identity both get diluted.

  • Every mode under one roof

    CATI, CAPI, CAWI, qualitative and panel operations run from the same organisation, so mixed-method designs do not need three vendors and four hand-offs.

  • Quality control is standard

    Back-checks, audio audits, geo-validation and fraud detection are in the base scope. They are how we work, not a premium tier you have to buy.

  • Reach into hard markets

    Tier-2, tier-3 and rural India, plus regional Asia-Pacific, delivered on schedule rather than quoted and then re-negotiated once fieldwork stalls.

How we work

Seven stages, and evidence at every one.

From the first feasibility read to the deviation log that ships with your data, each stage produces something you can inspect rather than something you have to trust.

  1. STEP 01

    Brief & feasibility

    We read the methodology as an operator would and come back with an honest deliverability read — including what will not work.

    • Feasibility note
    • Costed field proposal
    • Risk flags
  2. STEP 02

    Design & instrumentation

    Sample plan, screener, instrument scripting and quota architecture built and tested before anyone enters the field.

    • Programmed instrument
    • Logic map
    • Sample plan
  3. STEP 03

    Recruitment & briefing

    Respondents recruited to specification with documented evidence; field teams briefed on this study specifically.

    • Screener records
    • Field manual
    • Briefing log
  4. STEP 04

    Supervised fieldwork

    Collection runs under live supervision with daily quota and quality reporting rather than a single end-of-field summary.

    • Daily field report
    • Quota status
    • Audio & geo trail
  5. STEP 05

    Validation & quality control

    Independent back-checks, geo and duration checks, fraud screening and interviewer scoring before anything is called complete.

    • Back-check report
    • Exclusion log
    • Interviewer scores
  6. STEP 06

    Data compilation

    Validated data assembled into the file structure and naming convention your analysis team asked for — raw and labelled, ready for them to work on.

    • Labelled dataset
    • Verbatim file
    • Audio & geo trail
  7. STEP 07

    Handover & review

    Data handed to your analysis team with the full field record attached, plus a wave review that feeds back into the next round.

    • Field record
    • Deviation log
    • Wave review
In their words

What research teams say about working with us.

Illustrative
The difference is that we hear about problems while they are still schedule problems. On our last tracker we knew in week one that a quota cell was going to struggle, which meant we could talk to our client about it instead of explaining it afterwards.

Research Director

Global insights agency

Illustrative
We asked for the audio files and the back-check log expecting friction. They arrived the same day, properly indexed. That told us more about the operation than any capabilities deck could have.

Head of Quantitative

Independent research consultancy

Illustrative
Rural coverage is where suppliers usually start negotiating after you have signed. GEMR planned the waves around market days and simply delivered the cells.

Insights Manager

FMCG manufacturer

Illustrative
They came back short on two cells and told us why, in writing, with the incidence data behind it. Every other supplier we have used would have quietly filled them with whoever was nearest.

Associate Director

B2B research specialist

Illustrative
Our tracker had been drifting for a year and nobody could say why. The wave-on-wave composition reporting made it obvious within two cycles that the problem was interviewer churn, not the market.

Client Service Lead

Brand tracking practice

Illustrative
The source composition report is the thing I actually value. I can tell my client exactly where their sample came from, and I have never been able to do that with a supplier before.
