Response Monitoring

How to track live response progress in kicue, including summary KPIs, time-series charts, fraud flags, and quota progress.

After publishing, open the Monitoring tab to watch response progress in real time. You can observe the state of the field on a single screen and make decisions — pausing the survey, tweaking questions — without leaving kicue.

Monitoring screen layout

The monitoring screen has four main areas.

  1. Summary cards — headline KPIs (total responses, completion rate, drop-off rate)
  2. Time-series chart — responses over time
  3. Fraud flags — counts for speeders, straight-liners, bots, and AI agents
  4. Quota progress — per-attribute fill status when quota management is enabled
Response monitoring screen — total responses, completions, completion rate, drop-off rate cards and the time-series chart

Summary cards

The top of the screen shows headline KPIs:

MetricDescription
Total responsesAll responses from start to cutoff
CompletionsResponses that reached the end
Completion rateCompletions ÷ total responses
Drop-off rateShare of respondents who abandoned midway
Average timeAverage time to complete
Fraud flagsCount of automatically flagged responses

These metrics update in real time. Keep the browser open and they refresh every few seconds.

Time-series chart

See response counts over time by minute, hour, or day.

  • Email-campaign spikes
  • Day-of-week and time-of-day patterns
  • Ad-spend impact

Great for campaign effectiveness measurement and pacing projections.

Fraud flag inspection

kicue automatically scores response quality and applies flags:

  • Speeders — abnormally fast completions
  • Straight-liners — respondents who pick the same column across a matrix
  • Bots — automation tools
  • AI agents — ChatGPT-style automated answering

Flagged responses can be filtered in the list, and aggregation screens provide a toggle to include or exclude them.

Quota progress (with quota management)

When quota management is set up (e.g. 100 males in their 20s, 100 females in their 30s), each demographic segment shows a progress bar.

  • Percent full (e.g. 67 / 100)
  • Automatic screen-out when a segment is full
  • Remaining capacity

Available actions while monitoring

  • Pause / resume the survey
  • Filter by fraud flags
  • Drill into an individual response to see the full answer set
  • Interim CSV download for an in-flight data snapshot

Next step

Once you have enough responses, move on to GT Tabulation and Cross Tabulation for analysis.
