Chisquares brings the entire research workflow into one platform. Instead of juggling a survey tool, a spreadsheet, a statistics package, and a reference manager, researchers can design questionnaires, collect data, analyze results, and prepare a manuscript from the same workspace. The suite is organized around four pillars: survey design, data analysis, manuscript writing, and sample size and sampling calculators.
A standout capability is offline data collection. Field teams can build a survey while online, gather responses in areas without internet, and have the data upload automatically once connectivity returns. This is designed for public health workers, evaluators, and anyone doing fieldwork in low-connectivity settings. The platform also offers automated tracking, scheduled messaging, and cross-location data linking.
On the writing side, Chisquares offers research question and proposal generators, automated formatting, reference management, and a path to submit directly to partner journals or preprint servers. The platform is built by researchers for researchers, and its U.S. patent applications for several components are still pending, which signals ongoing development.
