Welcome to the AI Interview Data Quality Assessment. This survey is a structured coding instrument designed to help you systematically evaluate the quality of qualitative interview data. You will rate a data set across several dimensions including thematic richness, response depth, participant engagement, and your confidence in the findings. There are no right or wrong answers — we are interested in your professional judgment as a qualitative researcher. Your responses will be kept confidential and reported only in aggregate. Participation is voluntary and you may stop at any time. Estimated completion time: 12-15 minutes.
