Important to know

Cutoff times matter

Submitting before the cutoff ensures your survey:

  • Launches the same day

  • Is included in the overnight fieldwork run

  • Returns results as fast as possible

Late submissions may delay your results by a full day.

What happens after you submit?

Before your survey goes live, we:

  • Review your survey for quality

  • Set up targeting and audience

  • Prepare it for launch

This all happens quickly — but it’s why cutoff times are important.
