It is always important to remember the larger intention of the survey, and to leverage a wholistic approach to interpret the data, rather than granularly. Simply put – remember to take a step back and not get lost in the verbatim data, especially for a sub 10 person group.
Additional Context re Reading Entromy Reports: The survey is comprised of various question types, including fixed answer and open ended, which generate quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Qualitative data for such a small group is best considered from a directional perspective. Responses to open ended comments are giving you a sense of how a particular group feels about a particular question, and oftentimes will emphasize the quantitative data from other question types.
When your survey has the crowd-sourcing feature turned on to allow for comment upvoting/downvoting: Rather than trying to understand how many people upvoted or downvoted a particular comment, it will be helpful to consider these as an avenue to further understand general feelings of the group. From there, we suggest pairing the prioritized themes from the verbatims with quantitative responses to the fixed answer questions. Thus creating a wholistic perspective of the themes presented in the report, rather than a granular analysis.
Lastly, please note: There is no way to ascertain exactly how many survey participants voted on the comments shown in the reporting. The primary focus should be that the verbatims on any given report are the prioritized, most agreed upon statements from the respondent group in relation to the specific open ended question asked.
