ARCED International Research. Learning. Impact.

Field research has four steps, and it breaks between every one. 🔁

📄 Forms passed around as "final_v7_REAL.xlsx"
🖥️ Servers that go down mid-fieldwork
📍 Bad data you only find after fieldwork ends
🎧 Hours of interviews still waiting to be typed

SurveyLoopr closes the loop:

✅ BUILD: Describe your survey and LooprAI builds a validated XLSForm. Your whole team edits one live form.
✅ RUN: Your own managed ODK Central. Daily backups, alerts before it fills up, HTTPS, and encryption with keys only you hold. Pause between rounds and billing stops.
✅ REVIEW: DataSnap scores every interview, so you catch problems while you can still fix them.
✅ LISTEN: Recordings become transcripts, translations and themes, with names removed.

Build the instrument. Run the fieldwork. Check the data. Find the evidence.

One year ago, △ ARCED International was mostly an idea.

On 28 August, it turns one. 🎉

In our first year, we launched FolderManifest, InstantHowTo.dev, and SurveyLoopr, and worked with the Commonwealth of Learning.

What excites us most, though, is where the work is heading.

Inside SurveyLoopr, we’re now working on speaker identification for research interviews and FGDs — fine-tuning speaker-diarization models on audio recordings and generating synthetic overlapping speech to better handle real conversations where people interrupt or speak over one another. In our benchmarking exercise, existing models achieved around 75% speaker-attribution accuracy on our data. With our current fine-tuning approach, some experiments have reached 91%. We are not stopping here and working on improving further.

It’s still R&D, but it reflects what we want ARCED International to become: not just a user of technology, but a builder of technology around real problems in research.

And while ARCED International is one year old, the experience behind it isn’t. Much of what made this first year possible grew out of years of research, fieldwork, data, and experimentation through ARCED Foundation.

We put together a small Year One story here:

Year One was about building the foundation. Now, on to Year Two. 🚀

Data quality problems are easier to fix while fieldwork is still running.

With DataSnap, SurveyLoopr helps teams catch warning signs early — like difficult questions, unusual patterns, or enumerators who may need support — without opening respondent data.

Monitor earlier. Clean less later.

A questionnaire is only useful when it becomes a form your field team can actually use.

SurveyLoopr helps convert survey questions into ODK-ready forms, with AI-assisted building, validation, and preview built into one workspace.

From questions to field-ready — faster.

The days before fieldwork should be spent preparing your team — not fighting form errors.

With SurveyLoopr, you can describe your survey and let LooprAI help turn it into a field-ready ODK form faster.

Less last-minute fixing. More launch confidence.

Bad data rarely appears out of nowhere. It usually leaves warning signs during fieldwork.

With DataSnap, SurveyLoopr helps you monitor survey quality without opening respondent data — so teams can catch risks while there is still time to act.

Monitor early. Protect the data.

Form errors are easier to fix before the survey reaches the field.

SurveyLoopr helps teams build ODK-ready forms, check issues live, and preview the survey as they work — with LooprAI ready to help fix problems.

Build faster. Test earlier. Launch cleaner.

A survey should not get stuck between questionnaire and fieldwork.

With SurveyLoopr, you can describe your survey in plain English and let LooprAI help build, check, and fix the form faster.

A questionnaire is only useful when it becomes a working field form.

With SurveyLoopr, you can turn survey questions into ODK-ready forms faster — with LooprAI helping you build, check, and fix as you go.

Enumerator training, logistics, testing, launch planning — fieldwork already has enough pressure.

SurveyLoopr helps reduce the form-building burden by letting LooprAI assist with structure, checks, and fixes.

Your team moves faster when the form is not the bottleneck.
