Review AI Suggestions

The AI’s suggestions are not always perfect - manual review ensures accuracy. Go through each quality score, make adjustments as needed, and confirm your selections.Open-Ended Score (OES)
  • Add keywords (optional), define allowed languages (recommended), and enable or disable the duplicate check.
  • Remove any open-ended questions you do not want scored with ReDem’s Open-End Score.
  • Confirm your choices.
Decipher Integration Assistant - Open-Ended Data PointsGrid-Questions Score (GQS)
  • The AI identifies grid questions with 7 or more items.
  • If any should be excluded - for example, where response patterns like straightlining are acceptable - remove them using the delete icon.
  • Confirm your selections.
Behavioral Analytics Score (BAS)
  • Should correspond to the open-ended questions, since behavioral tracking is attached to their input fields.
  • Verify alignment and confirm.
Coherence Score (CHS)
  • Displays which questions are included in the check.
  • Ideally, include all questions where possible.
  • Select or deselect questions as needed, then confirm.

Configure Cleaning Settings

  1. Choose whether to enable ReDem’s automatic data cleaning - this applies ReDem’s exclusion recommendations based on predefined thresholds.
    • If enabled, you can further customize the cleaning settings.
    • If disabled: You will still receive the chosen quality scores, but without any exclusion recommendations.
  2. Recommended Settings for ReDem’s automatic data cleaning
    • We suggest enabling ReDem’s recommended settings for optimal data quality.
    • To give a specific example: We recommend excluding an interview - regardless of other scores - if two or more open-ended questions result in an Open-Ended Score below 40. We also recommend excluding an interview - again, regardless of other scores - if two or more answers to open-ended questions are classified as:
      • AI Generated
      • Nonsense
      • Wrong Topic
      • Wrong Language
      • Bad Language

Important Notes
  • This tool is a starting point for integration, not a fully automated replacement for manual review.
  • Decipher supports many question types, so always double-check that all scripts are applied correctly.
  • In the XML, green-highlighted sections indicate newly added scripts (e.g., Behavioral Analytics scripts).
  • The current version is in beta and will be further optimized to reduce code length.
  • Your feedback on usability and time savings is highly valuable for improving the tool.
