Survey fieldwork in all 14 parishes since 2011.
We recruit and train interviewers across Jamaica, program CAPI and CATI instruments, supervise the field and hand over a clean, documented dataset.
Hand us the fieldwork. Keep the analysis.

myVoice is the survey platform we built: an online panel of 6,063 active members across the island, and an offline app our interviewers carry where people are not online.
| Sample | myVoice panel | Face-to-face |
|---|---|---|
| 300 | ≈ J$186k | J$540-750k |
| 600 | ≈ J$324k | J$1.1-1.5M |
| 1,000 | ≈ J$470k | J$1.8-2.5M |
Indicative 2026 prices from our quotation model; face-to-face ranges are our estimates. A panel is not a probability sample. Use it for direction and speed, and a field survey when you need population estimates.
