How much time does it take for Vase to collect responses, or to translate, craft and review a questionnaire?
You can find our usual process and timeline below. As this is a general timeline, take note that not all projects require all four steps. For example, if your survey does not require translation, step 3 (translation) will be skipped accordingly!
General timeline:
| Item | Working Days |
| Consultation on questionnaire crafting | 2 - 3 days |
| Questionnaire review | 1 - 2 days* |
| Translation | 1 - 2 days** |
| Data Collection (including data cleaning) for sample size of 400 | 3 - 5 days*** |
| (If there are more than 5 open-ended questions in the survey) Additional time for data cleaning | 2 - 3 days |
*1 - 2 days would be suitable if your survey is up to 50 questions long. For a survey longer than 50 questions, we would need more time to provide a thorough survey review.
**1-2 days is the ideal translation timeline for surveys that are of an average length, i.e. 20-30 questions long. If your survey is longer than 30 questions, or is less than 30 questions but has lengthy questions and/or answer options, the time taken for translation could take longer.

***In most cases, data collection takes 3 - 5 days for a sample size of 400 respondents. But it highly depends on how niche the target market is and if there are quotas in place for data collection. Below are some examples of how different target audiences would take different fieldwork periods, depending on how specific or how niche the audience is.
