Frequently Asked Questions

What is a market research screener?+
A market research screener is a qualifying survey used to filter and identify participants who match specific criteria before they enter a research study. It ensures that only relevant respondents, based on demographics, behaviors, or professional backgrounds, participate in interviews, focus groups, or surveys. Nil Screener takes this further by offering mobile-first design, real-time quota management, and advanced skip logic to automate the entire qualification process.
Can I build screeners on my phone?+
Yes. Nil Screener is the only market research screener tool designed mobile-first. You can create, edit, and publish complex logic screeners from any device: phone, tablet, or desktop. The responsive 3-column builder gives you a live mobile preview in real-time, so you always see exactly what your respondents will experience.
How does skip logic work in Nil Screener?+
Skip logic allows you to route respondents to different questions based on their answers. In Nil Screener, you can set conditions like "if answer equals X, jump to question Y" or "if answer contains Z, disqualify." The visual flow graph shows all logic paths at a glance, and the built-in flow simulator lets you test every route before a single respondent enters your study.
What question types does Nil Screener support?+
Nil Screener supports over 20 question types including single select, multi-select, matrix grids, open text, number input, date pickers, ranking, rating scales, image choice, video responses, and more. Each type can be combined with skip logic, display logic, text piping, and randomization to create sophisticated screening flows.
How does quota management prevent overfills?+
Nil Screener uses atomic quota tracking. When a respondent qualifies, the quota counter updates instantly. This prevents the common problem of multiple respondents qualifying simultaneously and exceeding your target sample size. You can set quotas per answer option, per demographic segment, or across custom groups. Instant webhook notifications alert your team the moment a quota fills.
What makes flow simulation different from preview mode?+
Preview mode lets you walk through your screener question by question as a respondent would. Flow simulation goes further: it lets you run through the entire screener inside the editor itself, experiencing every possible outcome and route in real time while you build. You can simulate different answer combinations, see exactly where each path leads, and verify that disqualifications, skip logic, and page routing all work correctly before a single live respondent enters your study.
