Defend the instrument before the full study.
Write the survey, see a predicted Design Check before anyone answers, run a small pilot, and walk out with predicted and observed evidence in the same project.

Design Check scores the instrument from the writing itself. Results scores the same checks from the pilot sample. That sentence is the product: predicted and observed evidence in one place.
Sections, constructs, Likert, numeric, open response, and demographics in one draft. Every scored item maps to a construct before you collect a single answer.
Question quality, construct coverage, scale strength, and survey flow run as deterministic rules. Findings name the fix, so you revise while the cost is still small.
Host a temporary anonymous run, or lock a Field Kiosk session on the Mac. Field Pilot on iPad opens the same .rcpilot when the room is not the desk.
Cronbach’s alpha with confidence intervals, item-total correlations, floor and ceiling, feasibility targets, and debrief text. Honest about what a small n can support.
Line rounds up so reliability, flags, and completion are evidence, not recollection. Version history stays inside the same study file.
Export the checks, the field run, the reliability numbers, and the round story. Ready for the proposal, the IRB package, or the dissertation methods section.
One .rcpilot document holds the draft, the responses, the decisions, and the version history. Hosted runs are temporary. The Mac holds the permanent record.

Learn more about QualaIt is the Pilot Study project document. Design checks, field responses, results, comparisons, decisions, and version history stay in one file you can move, back up, or reopen later.
Design Check predicts scores from the instrument writing before anyone answers. Results observes the same kinds of checks from the pilot sample, including Cronbach’s alpha with confidence intervals.
No. Field Pilot is the iPad companion for locked field sessions. Design Check, Results, Compare, and Report stay on the Mac in Pilot Study.
Under 10 respondents, descriptives and flow only. From 10 to 19, alpha appears with instability labels. The app refuses to imply more than the sample can carry.
Pilot Study sits upstream of full analysis. When the instrument is ready, Quanta handles the quantitative strand and Quala the qualitative one; MM Studio integrates both.
