Hello all,

our team did a complex survey, with file upload functionaly, for 2000 respondents.The survey was closed a week back.

Can someone suggest a online analysis company that can help us do a research with the data. We will be able to provide the survey results, except the files submitted by respondents, in Excel,CSV or TSV file.

Thank you,
Ryan

A short, practical guide for (and others following this thread). With a 2,000-respondent export and respondent-uploaded files excluded, the project is entirely tractable — but clarity on scope, privacy, and deliverables will speed vendor selection and reduce cost. Echoing and , here are concrete next steps and what to ask potential analysts.

Prepare a tidy data package before outreach:

  • questionnaire document (exact wording and routing), and a variable map linking question IDs to columns
  • the raw export (CSV/Excel/TSV) with obvious PII removed or flagged
  • notes on sampling, response rate, and any planned weighting
  • examples of the excluded uploaded files or a short description of what they contained (images, attachments, long text)
  • a short list of priority research questions and required deliverables (tables, visuals, codebook, reproducible scripts)

Questions to ask vendors and red flags:

  • ask for examples of similar survey work and for a sample deliverable (red flag: no examples)
  • how they handle open-text coding (automated NLP vs manual coding) and quality checks
  • data security, NDA willingness, and how they will handle any residual PII
  • deliverables: cleaned dataset, codebook, analysis scripts (R/Python/SPSS), final report, and raw outputs
  • red flags: unwillingness to produce reproducible code, vague methodology, or no QA process

Suggested workflow:

  1. send the package and a two-page brief; request a fixed-price pilot (one-week descriptive analysis)
  2. review pilot output against acceptance criteria (replicable tables, clean codebook)
  3. proceed to full analysis with milestones and sign-off points

Note: if uploaded files contained substantive content, their absence should be stated in the methods and may limit some conclusions.

I would have loved to suggest one for you, however its my bad luck that I cannot suggest you a few options. Not heard for anything like this for a long time.
