After ReDem evaluates your survey, the Respondent Table on the survey results page lists every interview with quality scores, cleaning status, and question-level results. Use it to filter, sort, download, and open detailed views for individual respondents.

Respondent detail view

Click any row in the Respondent Table to open the respondent detail view. From there you can review:
  • Overview: ReDem Score, individual quality check scores, quality check weights on the overall score, and AI-generated respondent insights
  • Quality check tabs: Drill into OES, CHS, GQS, TS, and BAS results for that respondent, including flagged answers, patterns, and visualizations where available
  • Cleaning: Included or excluded status and the structured Reasons for Exclusion

AI-generated respondent insights

ReDem can generate a plain-language explanation of a respondent’s quality profile: why they were excluded, or that they look fine to include. The text is based on that respondent’s cleaning status, exclusion reasons, and flagged quality-check results. Each explanation is a single short paragraph (not separate summary and conclusion sections).
  • Excluded respondents: The text usually opens with the exclusion reasons (for example, Exclusion because of the Coherence Score Threshold…), then briefly describes the substantive issues on the affected checks — such as OES categories and flagged question IDs, GQS straightlining, CHS contradictions, unusual completion time, or BAS patterns. Checks with no issues are omitted.
  • Included respondents: The text is typically one short sentence stating that the respondent is included and not sufficiently suspicious across the checks.
These AI explanations are separate from the structured Reasons for Exclusion list (for example, ReDem Score Threshold or Manually Excluded). That list always comes from cleaning rules; the explanation is the readable narrative on top of it.

Where explanations appear

Once generated, explanations show in three places:
  • Respondent Table: An Explanation column appears when at least one respondent in the survey has an explanation. Long text is truncated in the cell; hover to read the full paragraph.
  • Respondent detail view: On the Overview tab, under Respondent Insights.
  • Downloads: Excel and CSV exports include an Explanation column when at least one respondent in the export has an explanation.
The table and downloads still include a separate Reasons for Exclusion column for the structured cleaning reasons.

Generate insights for one respondent

  1. Open the respondent detail view from the Respondent Table.
  2. Go to the Overview tab.
  3. Click Generate Insights.
Generation usually takes a few seconds. You can generate an explanation for any respondent from the detail view, including included respondents with a high Coherence Score. If an explanation already exists, ReDem keeps it and does not overwrite it from this button. After an explanation is cleared, click Generate Insights again to create a new one.

Explain all respondents

For larger reviews, use Explain All in the Respondent Table toolbar to generate explanations in bulk.
  1. Open the survey results page.
  2. Click Explain All above the Respondent Table.
  3. Confirm the operation.
ReDem queues explanations for respondents that are excluded or have a Coherence Score below 80. Included respondents with a CHS of 80 or above are skipped, because they typically need less manual review. Bulk generation runs in the background. You can stay on the page or navigate elsewhere; a progress indicator shows while jobs are still running. When an explanation is ready, it appears in the Explanation column and in the respondent’s Overview tab.
If a respondent could not be evaluated (for example, when the ReDem Score is unavailable), ReDem does not generate an explanation for them.

When explanations are removed

Explanations are cleared automatically when respondent quality data changes, so the text does not stay out of date. ReDem removes the explanation when you:
  • Exclude or include a respondent
  • Apply new cleaning settings
  • Recalculate the respondent’s scores
  • Change the respondent’s quality check settings
After an explanation is removed, generate it again with Generate Insights or Explain All.
