How often can I take a survey and receive an updated free report?
As often as you like and you'll receive an updated free report each time you complete the
survey. This newly updated report will show your updated responses and compare you to the
latest entries in the database.
I misplaced my free report can I get a copy?
Yes, go to the purchase page and select the purchase report now button,
enter the email address you used when you completed the survey and press the free-report
button shown next to the survey you would like to receive again. Alternatively, you can
complete the survey again and receive a new report with updated comparisons based on the
latest data in the survey database.
Can I use the content from my free report or the custom dataset report I purchased
in my own publications/presentations/report/website?
Yes, what would the value of benchmark information be if you couldn't use it to present
your findings to your peers or leaders? We ask that you always cite MetricsBoard as the
source of your information.
You are not allowed to use the MetricsBoard materials to create you own surveys,
benchmarks or for any other purpose unless you have a written agreement in place with
MetricsBoard specifically allowing re-use of our property for that specific situation.
How can MetricsBoard provide this much content for free? Even the custom
dataset report is very inexpensive. I expected to pay much more to get quality
benchmarking information.
MetricsBoard is a new type of metrics firm using the power of the crowd to collect and
verify the data used for the reports we provide. Combine the massive group of participants
who have input data with the state-of-the-art Web-based custom built report engine we use
and we are able to provide high-quality benchmarks for a fraction of the cost of
more traditional research companies.
Who created the survey and report content, and what are their qualifications in
the covered subject?
MetricsBoard has attracted top subject matter experts in each of the disciplines covered by
our surveys, their information and bio can be found on our leadership page. Many of our
experts make their living working as independent consultants in their respective fields.
If you are interested in contacting any of them please use our contact us function and we
will ensure your message reaches the right person.
I've got an idea for a survey I'd like to develop. MayI use your website, survey
engine and report generator to implement my idea?
Yes, we welcome your ideas and will consider your request. Please use the contact us
function to provide your information and we will contact you.
What is crowd-verified?
We receive a high volume of participants who take our free benchmark assessments and our
master data base is constantly growing larger. The larger the database becomes, the more
statistically valid the output becomes with lower and lower variances. Crowd-verified
ensures the database only gets better over time as the crowd grows.
What is the price of a report comparing my performance to an
industry/geography/company size or combination of selections and
how fast can I get it?
A detailed report comparing your performance in any of the areas covered by our surveys is
only US$199 and available immediately. Just go to the report/purchase menu option and
enter the email address you used when you completed the free survey and then select your
peer group options. Press purchase and provide payment details. As soon as your credit
card payment is processed we will generate your report from the latest data in our databases
and send the report to your email address.
Can you create custom reports using the data you already have in your database
and doing different statistical analyses than what you provide in your free and
custom dataset report?
Yes, please contact us using our contact us function found on the top and bottom of this
website and we will contact you to discuss specifics. Availability, price and lead time depend
on database content, analyses required and usage of the report.
Can you do a custom benchmark for my industry/customers/association/
organization/business?
Generally yes, however we have some requirements on the size of the pool of potential
respondents and guarantees you can provide on their participation level. It will also depend
on the level of subject matter expertise you are able and willing to provide to help develop
the survey. In most situations we will develop, host and manage your custom benchmark
free of charge in return for your participation and subject matter expertise when creating
the content. Use the contact us function to communicate with us.
