How do I know if my panel has enough participants for a study?

Before you commit to a study, ask an AI tool connected to Great Question how many panel members match every criterion, split by company size and industry, and how many were in a study in the last 90 days. If the count is short, have it name the single criterion costing you the most people. It only reads, so it's safe to run at every intake.

Who runs it
Research ops, at study intake.
Where you sign off · Read only
Nothing. Read only.
Schedule it · By hand
No. Run it at intake, every time. The last question in that prompt is the useful one.

How to run it in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot

The prompt is the same in every tool. What changes is where you connect Great Question and where you paste it.

Run it in Claude

  1. 1

    Connect Great Question to Claude

    In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it Great Question, paste https://greatquestion.co/api/mcp/v1, then Save and Connect and sign in with your Great Question account. Restart Claude so the tools load.

  2. 2

    Paste the prompt

    Start a new chat and paste the prompt. Claude asks before it uses each Great Question tool; allow the read tools, and read anything it proposes to write before you allow it.

Your admin has to switch the MCP on in Great Question first. The MCP guide covers every tool, the security model and a team rollout.

The tools it calls

Named so you can see exactly what the agent touches before you let it near anything.

  • search_candidates
  • list_candidate_segments
  • get_candidate_segment

What we never automate

Four rules sit under every workflow here, and they matter more than the workflows.

  • Nothing reaches a participant without a person

    No workflow sends an invitation, an email or a reminder. The MCP can do those things. They are left out on purpose, because a scheduled job that contacts your customers is a different category of risk from one that reads a transcript.

  • Nothing launches a study without a person

    An agent can build the screener and draft the messages. Someone still presses go.

  • Nothing reaches a stakeholder unchecked

    The synthesis workflows hand you quotes with links attached so you can check them in one click. Use the click. A misattributed quote in a board deck costs more than the hour it saved.

  • Nothing sees more than the person who connected it

    Permissions follow the individual, so an agent connected by a PM reaches exactly what that PM reaches. Your admin decides whether it is available at all.

Questions

What is a feasibility check in research recruitment?

A check, before a study is scoped, that enough eligible people exist and are available. Doing it at intake means you change the criteria or the channel early, instead of finding out halfway through recruitment.

Why exclude people studied in the last 90 days?

Contacting the same participants too often tires your panel and skews findings toward the people who always say yes. Ninety days is a common default; set your own.

What if my panel can't fill the study?

Loosen the criterion the check flags, or recruit externally for the gap. Our guide to recruitment methods for a research panel covers the options.
