  • Individual progress measurement

Perfect for Pre/Post Analysis

Whether you're tracking program effectiveness, measuring training outcomes, or reporting to grant funders—side-by-side comparison makes it effortless.

1

Grant Reporting

Show funders exactly how participants changed from pre to post-intervention.

  • Automatic email-based matching across surveys
  • Visual before/after comparison for each question
  • Export comparison reports for grant applications
  • Statistical significance indicators
Example: "Show me all participants who took both pre-training and post-training surveys, side-by-side."
2

Program Evaluation

Measure effectiveness of training, interventions, or educational programs.

  • Track knowledge gains from pre to post-test
  • Identify which areas showed most improvement
  • Filter comparisons by department, role, or demographics
  • Spot participants who need additional support
Example: "Compare Q3 2024 employee satisfaction vs Q1 2024 for the sales department."
3

Longitudinal Studies

Track changes over time across multiple survey waves.

  • Compare same respondents across multiple time points
  • Visualize trends and patterns
  • Identify drop-off rates and attrition
  • Research-grade data for publication
Example: "Compare patient outcomes at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months."

Real-World Example

A nonprofit ran a mental health training program for 200 participants. They needed to show their grant funder the before/after impact.

Pre-training survey responses:
198
Post-training survey responses:
187
Matched participants (took both):
183
Time to generate comparison:
28 seconds
Outcome:

The nonprofit's grant report showed a 34% increase in mental health literacy scores. The comparison report was included directly in the grant renewal application. Grant renewed for 3 more years.
