Define the study
Provide a questionnaire and the characteristics of your intended audience.
SOFTWARE FOR RESEARCH
Software for
research design.
AtoDrop develops tools for designing and evaluating research. Our survey simulation service helps researchers examine questionnaires before fieldwork.

About AtoDrop
We help researchers evaluate study designs before collecting data.
Question wording, response options, and study scenarios shape the evidence a survey can produce. Reviewing these choices early can reduce avoidable revisions after fieldwork.
Our work combines software development with survey methodology. We focus on practical tools for comparing alternatives, documenting assumptions, and identifying what needs human validation.
SURVEY SIMULATION
In developmentAI-powered
survey simulation.
Review a questionnaire with simulated respondents. Compare revisions and identify questions to investigate in a human pilot.
Review the design
before fieldwork.
The service is being developed to work with a draft questionnaire and a defined audience. Researchers will be able to examine wording, compare scenarios, and explore simulated response patterns across groups.
Development currently focuses on multiple-choice and scale questions for university studies of technology adoption and attitudes.

Q. 01
“Do you trust this AI service and intend to use it?”
Someone may trust a service without wanting to use it. A single answer cannot tell you which judgment they made.
Q. 01
“How much do you trust this AI service?”
Not at all Completely
Q. 02“How likely are you to use this AI service?”
Very unlikely Very likely
Separate trust from intention. Take both questions into a human pilot to check how respondents interpret them.
An illustrative wording review, not a live simulation.
Compare revisions
Examine how wording and scenario changes affect simulated responses.
Plan human validation
Identify the design choices and interpretations to check in a pilot study.
Methodology
Validation is part
of the design.
Simulation supports survey preparation. Conclusions about a population require evidence from human respondents.
Comparison with human responses
Our validation approach is being developed to assess response distributions, variation, and differences between groups, rather than average responses alone.
Explicit limits
We aim to document the scope of available evidence, variability between runs, and questions that require further human testing.
Documented methods
Planned outputs include question reviews, revision comparisons, labeled synthetic data, and records of the model and simulation settings.
