We offer two service types.

Direct Service

With this option WRA takes a back-seat with the client dealing directly with the selected team for all the required services. WRA’s role is to provide support in the research design, preparation, quality assurance, project progress monitoring and client service. WRA also handles invoicing and facilitates communication through an online project dashboard.

Managed Service

Here WRA is in the driving seat and handles selected services that are outside of fieldwork related functions.

Main Differences

The difference in fees depends on the services the client requires and whether the project is in a single or in multiple countries. For cross-border surveys the managed service offers a single point of contact with centralised data management, and – if required – data processing, analysis and reporting. For a single country project, the direct service for a fieldwork-focused survey is is likely to be more cost-effective.

WRA’s commission is 5% of the affliiate’s quotation plus a fixed 650 handling fee. The adjacent table explains the differences in more detail. The legend explains the party responsible for the relevant tasks.
