Interview Formats

Six IDIs Methodologies. One Right for Your Objective.

Structured IDIs

Fixed question sets applied consistently across all respondents, ideal for benchmarking, compliance studies, and comparative analysis.

Semi-Structured IDIs

A guided conversation framework with flexibility to follow unexpected insights. The most common format for strategic market research and due diligence.

Unstructured IDIs

Open-ended exploratory conversations designed to uncover latent needs, unarticulated motivations, and emerging trends.

Expert IDIs

Targeted interviews with vetted industry specialists and C-suite executives for technical validation and competitive intelligence.

Customer IDIs

One-on-one conversations with customers to understand satisfaction drivers, purchase decisions, service gaps, and churn indicators.

Ethnographic IDIs

Observation-led interviews in the respondent's natural environment, capturing real-world behaviour that self-reported data routinely misses.

The Outcome
