Running & Progress

Launch the survey, understand what each status means, and follow the analysis to a report.

Launching the survey

When the design is ready, the agent shows a Study start card — the pre-flight summary. Check it carefully:

  • Panel and participants — who and how many
  • Questions — how many will be asked
  • Estimated duration — roughly how long it'll take
  • Price — the cost in credits

Then a Review tool request card appears; click Allow to launch. If you don't have enough credits, the card says "There are not enough Credits to start this study." instead of starting — see Errors & Edge Cases.

The study lifecycle

A study moves through a clear sequence of states:

StatusWhat's happening
DraftYou're still designing it; nothing has run.
ApprovedLaunch confirmed; the survey is being set up.
Survey runningThe panel is answering.
Interpretation runningAnswers are in; the results are being analyzed.
Report draftThe report is assembled and ready to read.
PublishedThe report is finalized.

Two states mean something needs attention — survey failed and analysis failed — plus abandoned for a study that was stopped. Those are covered in When Something Goes Wrong.

Following the analysis

While results are being processed, the study page shows the current stage:

Fetching answers → Mapping batches → Reducing findings → Verifying quotes → Building charts → Composing report.

You don't need to do anything during these — they run on their own. You can watch progress on the study page, or via the Study progress card in the chat.

When it's done

The moment a study completes, its Report appears automatically — no button to press. You'll also get a notification (the bell in the team header). Read it from the Reports library or right in the thread; see the Reports section.

Good to know

  • Surveys run in the background — you can close the tab and come back; progress isn't lost.
  • The price is shown before you approve, never after — you always see the cost first.
