What problem does this solve? edit

Many times when taking a survey, your information goes into a data hole. Make sure to communicate well where the data will go, and how people can stay informed of the results.

What is the solution? edit

  • Make sure that you post the link to the results in the survey itself so respondents know where to find their information
  • Make sure to clearly who how you will use the data. What did the data do? How valuable was there input? It's important to be accountable to the people who submitted the data to you.
