[Data Collection Tech] Methodological Rigor

The Right Methodology for Every Research Challenge.

We deploy audited, technology-driven data collection modes calibrated to the cultural, infrastructural, and linguistic realities of Morocco and the MEA region.

CAPI

Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing

Nationwide Morocco (all 12 administrative regions) + MEA capital cities

Face-to-face tablet interviews with offline capability and GPS audit trails.

Our field interviewers conduct face-to-face surveys on digital tablets equipped with custom offline survey apps. Every interview captures precise GPS coordinates, exact duration timestamps, and random silent audio verification snippets to guarantee 100% respondent authenticity.

Best Suited For:

Complex questionnaires with visual showcardsHousehold consumer surveys (U&A)B2B executive interviewsSensory & product tests

Mandatory QC Checks:

  • 100% GPS polygon verification
  • Duration outlier automated flagging
  • 30%+ supervisor phone/in-person back-check
CATI

Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing

Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, GCC (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar), Sub-Saharan Africa

Centralized Casablanca call center with 100% call recording and predictive dialing.

Operating from our modern call center in Casablanca, our native Arabic, French, and English speaking interviewers conduct structured telephone interviews. Features predictive dialing, screen monitoring, live supervisor listening, and automated quota balancing.

Best Suited For:

B2B decision-maker outreachCustomer satisfaction & NPS trackingRapid-turnaround public opinion pollsGeographically dispersed samples

Mandatory QC Checks:

  • 100% audio recording of all calls
  • Live dual-listen supervisor monitoring
  • Call outcome & disposition verification
CAWI

Computer-Assisted Web Interviewing

Cross-regional MEA digital reach (15+ countries)

High-engagement online surveys and verified proprietary panel sampling across MEA.

Optimized for mobile smartphones and desktop browsers, our online surveys leverage fraud detection (digital fingerprinting, bot traps, speeder removal) to gather rapid consumer insights from both verified panel respondents and client customer lists.

Best Suited For:

Brand perception & ad-testingTech-savvy consumer demographicsMulti-country simultaneous pulse studiesCost-effective large-scale samples

Mandatory QC Checks:

  • Device fingerprinting & duplicate IP elimination
  • Speeding & straight-lining trap questions
  • Open-end AI gibberish filters
MYSTERY

Mystery Shopping & Retail Audits

All major commercial centers, malls, and independent retail outlets across Morocco and MEA

Objective in-store evaluations measuring service compliance, merchandising, and pricing.

Best Suited For:

Retail execution & shelf presenceFranchise standard complianceCompetitive pricing benchmarksCustomer service quality audits

Mandatory QC Checks:

  • Date/time geo-tagged receipt verification
  • Photographic evidence validation
  • Scoring consistency review
QUAL

Focus Groups & In-Depth Interviews (IDI)

Casablanca viewing facilities + virtual online focus groups across MEA

Deep qualitative exploration in dedicated viewing facilities or secure digital suites.

We handle end-to-end recruitment of highly specific target profiles—from high-net-worth individuals and medical specialists to everyday consumers. We provide bilingual moderation, simultaneous translation, HD recording, and thematic qualitative synthesis.

Best Suited For:

Exploratory concept testingBrand positioning & archetype developmentCustomer journey deep-divesCultural nuance discovery

[04] Quality Assurance Engine

The Two-Tier Quality Engine: 100% Audit & 30%+ Direct Back-Checks

Fieldwork without rigorous quality control is worthless. At MField MEA, we apply an uncompromised verification framework designed to eliminate fraudulent records, interviewer shortcuts, and sampling skew.

100% Systematic Phase 1: Automated Audit

Automated Sensor & Data Audits

Every single completed survey (100% of sample) passes through automated verification pipelines before entering tabulation:

  • Quota & Stratum Locking:

    Strict monitoring against demographic quotas (age, gender, SEC, urban/rural distribution) to prevent over-sampling.

  • GPS Polygon & Distance Audit:

    Verification that interviews occurred inside the mandated primary sampling units (PSU) and not at the enumerator's residence.

  • Duration & Speed Traps:

    Interviews with durations falling below 70% of median baseline length are flagged, reviewed, and replaced.

  • Logical & Routing Consistency:

    Automated checks detect straight-lining, flat-lining, and cross-question contradictory responses.

Minimum 30% Verified Phase 2: Direct Re-Contact

Direct Respondent Back-Checks

Our independent QC department re-contacts a minimum of 30% of all interviewees through three mandatory channels to verify actual questionnaire administration:

  • Telephone Back-Checks:

    Dedicated call supervisors contact respondents to re-confirm key demographics, interview length, and interviewer courtesy.

  • In-Person Supervisor Re-Visits:

    Senior field supervisors randomly re-visit physical respondent addresses to verify household presence and participation.

  • Silent Audio Verification:

    Randomly encrypted audio checkpoints during CAPI sessions confirm natural dialogue between interviewer and respondent.

  • Data Confidentiality (CNDP & GDPR):

    Full adherence to Moroccan Law 09-08 and GDPR. Respondent identities are unlinked from survey results upon QC approval.
