Original research report checklist

Eight checks before a research report goes to design

Checklist for publishing original research: a contested question, 150 interviews, 30 per segment, screening, soft launch, quality checks, quotes, method box.
Run through this before the report goes to design

An eight-point checklist for marketing teams publishing an original research report: the question, the sample size per segment, screening, a soft launch, quality checks, a checked quote behind every finding and a method box. Use it as the sign-off list before design starts. It comes from the Cite-Ready Report method in Koji's playbook for running original research as AI-moderated interviews.

Where this appears

What's in this checklist

  • One research question your buyers disagree about
  • Both possible headlines are worth publishing
  • 150 completed interviews, and at least 30 in any segment you report
  • Respondents screened for role, with the source of each group noted
  • Soft launch read and confusing questions fixed before the full run
  • Low-quality interviews left out of every number
  • A checked quote behind every finding, with names removed
  • A method box: sample, dates, recruitment route and questions
