FAQs

Find answers to commonly asked questions about OPPi and its features.

Is there a limit to the number of questions/statements I can ask per engagement session?

With the free Pathfinder plan, you can ask a maximum of 10 questions per engagement session. There’s no limit with paid plans.

How many respondents does an engagement session need before OPPi is able to analyse results?

OPPi starts analysing data immediately, but that information only becomes meaningful once you’ve heard from a few respondents. You’ll be able to view an analytics report on your session once you’ve had seven responses.

If I upgrade to a Trailblazer or Explorer plan, will my data be carried across from my Pathfinder account?

Yes. All data in your free account will be upgraded to the premium account.

Can I download the raw data for my session?

Yes, if you have a Trailblazer or Explorer plan. If you have a Pathfinder plan, you’ll need to upgrade to view the raw data.

I would like to conduct face-to-face interviews or focus group discussions and then let OPPI analyse the data. Is that possible and how much would it cost?

Yes, you can do that. We’ll need to customise your package and for that you’ll need our Explorer plan. Contact us so we can explore what you need and quote you.

What features are you planning next?

Lots! Stay up to date by following us on Facebook, X, Instagram and LinkedIn, or send any suggestions or feedback to hello@oppi.live.

Engagement Session FAQs

What is an engagement session?

Want to explore your customers’ challenges? Gauge reaction to your new product? Find out how your people (or the general public) really feel about an issue? In OPPi, we do that via an engagement session, and you can choose any issue you like. While you can ask lots of individual questions in a session, it’s best to focus on a single issue so your results are laser focused. Watch a walkthrough of how to complete an engagement session.

Are we limited to multiple choice questions?

No! You can use them if you like. But OPPi lets you ask far more open questions so you get real, nuanced answers.

Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

Does OPPi capture incomplete responses?

Respondents need to complete the whole survey and then either enter their email address at the end of the session (on all plans) or disable emails and enable a “submit” button (only on Trailblazer and Explorer plans) in order for OPPi to capture their responses.

Where you choose the “submit” button option, OPPi will automatically enable CAPTCHA verification  to prevent Sybil attacks, bots or undesirable participants from skewing the results of the poll.

If respondents leave a session without completing it, OPPi will record their responses and allow them to return later to pick up where they left off.

Where participants do not return to complete a session, you will not be able to re-engage them and invite them to vote on new statements contributed by other participants.

What do I need to start an OPPi engagement session?

Once you have an account, you’ll need:

1. An issue that matters to you

2. Participants

3. Channels or ways to market the poll and keep the conversation alive

Does OPPi have a panel audience we can use for our engagement session?

No. We don’t have a panel audience and, because we don’t retain the personal information of participants beyond 30 days, we couldn’t create one even if we wanted to.However, we can give you advice in putting your engagement session panel together, we can offer customised solutions through our Explorer plan, and we can connect you with our OPPi partners if you need help.

What sort of questions should we ask?

It’s entirely your choice, but we’re big believers in ‘How Might We…’ questions because they really encourage people to think.

What does my results dashboard show?

Lots! You’ll see:

1. Your headline stats: the number of participants, the number of comments, votes and more.

2. Your opinion groups, segmented into areas of agreement, dissent and undecided.

3. A demographic breakdown, a ‘so what’ chart to distil insights, and the ability to analyse

4. Every single response from any angle.

How does OPPi find insights in the data?

OPPi uses an AI-powered decision matrix to find rich insights in the noise. Once its machine learning algorithms have done their thing, it uses the patterns it spots to identify opinion tribes and present their thoughts in a simple, clutter-free way.

Find out more about how OPPi’s decision matrix works.

What is common ground?

Common ground statements are statements with a high percentage of consensus among participants in any engagement session.

What is a divisive statement?

Divisive statements are statements that divide a group of participants and may not exhibit a clear majority view.

What is an acknowledge statement?

Acknowledge statements are statements that do not have the level of consensus to become ‘common ground’ but which are significant minority views.

Is the number of opinion groups fixed?

No. OPPi will analyze all responses from participants and determine the number of opinion groups from the various sets of behaviors and characteristics present in each poll.

How do I read opinion groups/tribes?

Each opinion group exhibits a certain set of unique behaviors and characteristics. You can explore these by scrolling through the statements associated with the particular opinion group and by filtering and cross-referencing responses with each question.

What is OPPi's methodology?

OPPI combines quantitative and qualitative methods with advanced statistical techniques that help leaders identify fault lines and common ground. OPPI deploys machine learning methods to learn patterns from respondents in real-time. It can identify opinion tribes based on respondents’ views and visualise correlations between respondents.

Through these methods, OPPi identifies areas of division and commonality and reveals the full landscape of opinions made by respondents. Using AI, OPPi identifies and clusters tribes based on the similarities and differences in responses and the statements that define each group.

What is the logic behind the multiple-choice questions (MCQs) that appear alongside seed statements?

The logic is that for every three statements, there will be one MCQ displayed. We determined this logic through our user testing and through feedback that told us such an order allows for participants to answer MCQs freely and honestly. This order also allows organizers to carefully curate the statements and trigger participants' thinking in giving their opinions.

How are statements categorized?

OPPi calculates the level of consensus in each statement using a Consensus Factor score. The scale below shows how we categorise common ground, divided and acknowledge statements.
