We go beyond precision and data richness, being devoted to the smart translation of research key outcomes into business solutions while keeping a close connection with our clients and their business challenges over time. Just stroll over our Quant research methods…

  • PAPI (paper and pencil interviews)

    PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interviews) is the standard face-to-face data collection method. Questionnaires are finished in a printed form and the interviewers complete them with a pen according to the answers of the respondent. 

    ISRA Center use PAPI for face-to-face interviews when using standard questionnaire,without complicated selection rules between questions.

    Where feasible we try to replace PAPI with CAPI who has more advantages such as: automatically attributes and brand randomization, automatic interviewer control (the system records the date and timing when the interview took place), etc.

    • public data from national/ international authorities (both free or under charge)
    • internet
    • specialized magazines
    • internal data from the Client
    • other secondary sources
