      <image:caption>S.I.R. manages all surveys, fieldwork, and analysis in-house, and we remain committed to delivering more than just data tables.

      <image:caption>S.I.R. is well-versed in multiple focus group practices, and we work with our clients to develop the most efficient and effective qualitative approaches. However, most often, we find our “Virtual Communities” platform yields the richest insights. In a Virtual Community, participants contemplate and document their thoughts and experiences over the course of several days on their own time, rather than gathering for an hour in a rented room. Through flexible and interactive activities, Virtual Communities offer all the benefits of in-person focus groups and interviews — and then some.</image:caption>
