How do I turn survey answers into findings?
Last updated 12 November 2026
- Once 3 people have answered, open the study and go to Findings, then press Draft findings.
- Each finding says “AI draft” until you check it. Press Keep it, or Edit to change the words, or Remove.
- Tick the checked findings you want in your report. Add your own finding if something is missing.
- Write the one line people should remember under “In one line”, and add next steps with who does them and by when.
We count the numbers ourselves from the responses, not the AI, and leave out responses you rejected. A finding from fewer than 5 people, or under 15% of responses, is marked “Signal · few people”: something to explore, not a fact. Quotes are always the participant's own words.
Each finding has a chart: bars, columns, pie, one bar, meter or a dot per person, depending on the data. We mark the best fit and say why; pick another under Chart and it shows the same way on your share link. Charts that don't suit the data (a pie for “choose all that apply”, where slices wouldn't add up to 100%) are listed under “Why not other charts?”.
The AI only sees the answers, never names. Press Draft again to look for new findings after more responses arrive: findings you checked or wrote yourself stay.
Under Ask your data, ask a question in your own words, like “Did younger people mention fees more?”. The AI works out what to count and how to compare (by any survey or screener question); we do the counting, and “What we counted” shows exactly what was counted and the answers behind it. If the data can't answer it, it says so instead of guessing. Answers aren't saved.
