AI moderated study pre-launch checklist

Before you launch your AI moderated study, take a minute to make sure everything is in order. This leads to a smoother experience for participants and easier analysis for you.

Note: Some items are required to launch. To view any unmet requirements, click the Launch button in the top-right corner. If the button is green, you've met them all.

Study settings

  • A clear, engaging title and description.

  • An accurate participant limit and incentive.

  • Any applicable custom informed consent enabled.

  • The right conversation style for your research.

Research setup (AI moderator tab)

  • Clear, distinct research objectives.

  • Any guardrails or background added to moderator context.

  • A custom introduction, if you want to set expectations up front.

  • Follow-ups enabled with follow-up guidance provided on individual questions as desired.

Screener questions (auto-recruit only)

  • Specific (but not too exclusive) targeting attributes.

  • Multiple choice questions with knockout logic.

Tip: We recommend testing your study before launch. For more information, see Test an AI moderated study. Additionally, you can have Dscout AI offer suggestions with Review your study.

When you're ready to launch your study, see Launch an AI moderated study for more information.
