Measures and Surveys
Surveys grounded in experiences
Open responses capture individual insights. Rating scales show group patterns. We integrate both to turn insight into measurement and measurement into action.
Research insights for real-world problems
Ask the right questions to make informed decisions.
For those who want to understand real experiences and
turn insights into meaningful change.
Why teams work with QuerySmith
People-based Insights and Actions
Our niche is translating lived experiences into effective measures and interventions.
◆
We start from the human side.
We begin with getting stories and reflections in people's own words to design relevant measures and interventions.
◆
We design for what's feasible, not just ideal.
We respect your team's capacity and existing workflows, building solutions that fit real-world constraints.
◆
We use AI as an assistant, not an oracle.
Large language models help generate insights and drafts, but every step is visible, documented, and human-checked.
◆
We leave you with reusable systems.
You get resources and protocols your team can reuse and revise — not just a static report that fades over time.
What QuerySmith makes
Tools and systems you can actually use
The goal is to create tools and processes that your team can continue using and adapting beyond our collaboration. Below are a few examples of what this looks like in practice.
Effective Communication
Small tweaks for large impact
Emails and written communications can be optimized to convey respect, care, and high standards. We made a tool to identify common pitfalls and suggest improvements
Experimental Design
Rigorously test your insights
Conducting Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) in real-world settings is challenging. We provide trainings for your team to use gold-standard research methods to rigorously test your ideas.

Eric N. Smith
I'm a social psychologist who loves collaborating to improve people's lives. I come into every project curious and respectful of the expertise you bring to shape ideas together, rather than providing cookie-cutter solutions. You can learn more about my research here.
