# Survey analysis with calculated results and visible bases

Evaluate PulseLake survey analysis using your study question, population and filters. Calculation mode computes against study data with the base shown; researchers check the result and approve the interpretation.

## Relevant capabilities

- Plain-language questions over study data
- Population and filter resolution with calculated results
- Reports and dashboards built from approved findings

## How to compare

- Is the population behind the requested measure explicit?
- Can the reviewer check filters, exclusions and missing values?
- What calculations and output checks must the pilot support?

## Bring these inputs

- An approved survey dataset and its codebook
- Reference questions, populations and filters
- Known check calculations and reporting requirements

## A practical first workflow

- Define the question and the population it concerns.
- Check the resolved filters and compare results with reference calculations.
- Review the interpretation and agree the reporting output before wider use.

## Check before expanding

- Reconcile the displayed base with included records.
- Check calculations independently on agreed examples.
- Do not substitute generated text for a computed numeric result.

## Economics
Compare the agreed software and study scope, researcher review, recruitment or sample, participant incentives and delivery requirements. Confirm current charges and inclusions before paid work; creating an account does not make every service free.

## Switching considerations
Pilot a representative workflow and confirm data permissions, supported formats and required outputs before retiring existing tools. This page does not assert blanket feature parity or automatic migration from another product.
