In-Person Research Excellence

Face-to-face research delivers the depth and reliability that remote methods cannot match. Meraki Research deploys trained fieldworkers with CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing) technology across urban, peri-urban, and rural areas.

When to Choose Face-to-Face

  • Low-literacy populations where self-completion is not viable
  • Product demonstrations or physical stimulus testing
  • Ethnographic and observational research components
  • Hard-to-reach areas with no phone or internet coverage

Fieldwork Quality

GPS-stamped interviews, real-time back-checking, audio recording for quality assurance, and multilingual interviewers ensure every data point is reliable.

Frequently asked questions

CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing) uses trained interviewers with tablets or laptops to conduct face-to-face interviews, combining the depth of in-person research with digital data capture efficiency.

Face-to-face is essential for low-literacy populations, complex product demonstrations, ethnographic observation, and contexts where visual stimuli must be shown in person.
