01The actual work

What will you actually do as a Political Field Surveyor at CryptoMize?

Field a supervised mini-survey end-to-end: carry the instrument into the constituency, run the contacts yourself, and log every outcome code honestly

Learn instrument piloting — spot the leading question, the ambiguous word, the ordering effect — by pre-testing drafts on small samples before they field

Do accompaniment shifts with working interviewers: observe, verify locations, and check completions against the quality markers the desk uses

Code open-text responses from live cycles into the category frame, flagging the answers the frame cannot hold

Keep the coverage sheet current through a cycle — planned versus achieved, refusals by code, recoveries chased — and present it at the postmortem

Adapt an instrument into one regional language under review, checking that meaning survives the translation

Close with a field capstone: one cycle's data, your quality audit of it, and the methodology note the next team inherits

03Six months, structured

Political Field Surveyor Internship — learning path at CryptoMize

Six months, structured. Every intern has a named mentor on the field-research arm and a sequenced path from supervised fieldwork to independent constituency coverage. The political field surveyor track is reviewed against live engagement demand. Every element of the political field surveyor program is engagement-anchored, review-documented, and mentored end to end through all six months.

  1. MONTH 1

    Foundations on live field research

    Orientation to the field-research stack, our data-quality standards, and your first supervised fieldwork alongside a senior surveyor. Instrument drills and refusal-code reviews every week.

    1/5
  2. MONTH 2

    First independent fieldwork cycle

    You own a scoped constituency survey end-to-end: a booth cluster or a voter-preference cycle, with your after-action note reviewed by your mentor before it feeds the cell.

    2/5
  3. MONTHS 3–4

    Active client engagements

    Attached to a live political engagement under supervision — running the on-ground surveys that the political cell designs, and feeding the field-research intelligence that refines it.

  4. MONTH 5

    Deep field project

    A field-research mini-project of your own within an engagement — past topics have spanned instrument-fidelity experiments, refusal-pattern analysis, demographic-segmentation drills, and constituency-coverage optimization.
