It is possible for a respondent to belong to more than one quota. If they belong to any quota where currently_open=0, they will be terminated for improper targeting. |
When a respondent starts a survey, we will first:
1) Check if they have previously taken the survey, either through your panel, or through another. If they are a duplicate, they will be redirected back as ps_rstatus=15 (ps_quality).
...
If we have previously seen this respondent, we will load their known qualification criteria and ask only what is not known. If we haven't seen the respondent before, we will ask all of the necessary questions, and run through the following operations:
...
As long as a respondent makes it through these steps, they will be able to finish complete and get credit for the survey, even if they would no longer qualify on return (e.g. quotas have been closed, filled). The cpi CPI is recorded at survey start - this will be the cpi CPI paid to the supplier in case of survey completion.
