Evaluating Data Collection Methods by Cost and Accessibility PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 63-slide Industry Analysis PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for evaluating various data collection options based on their relative accessibility and cost. It categorizes these options along 2 axes: retrieval time and cost, creating a matrix that helps identify the most suitable methods for gathering data.

The vertical axis represents retrieval time, ranging from long to short. The horizontal axis indicates cost, from low to high. Each quadrant of the matrix contains specific data collection methods, allowing for a quick visual assessment of their feasibility.

In the upper left quadrant, methods that require a longer retrieval time, but are relatively low in cost are listed. These include client interviews, XYZ expert interviews, and industry observers. These methods may provide in-depth insights, but could delay project timelines due to their complexity and the time required for engagement.

The upper right quadrant features options that are both costly and time-consuming, such as specialized consultants and industry observers for special reports. These methods may yield high-quality data, but come with significant financial implications.

The lower left quadrant showcases low-cost and short retrieval time options, like company annual reports and database searches. These methods are efficient for quick data gathering, but may lack depth or specificity.

Finally, the lower right quadrant includes methods that are both costly and quick, such as third-party studies and investment reports. These options can provide immediate insights, but at a premium price.

This framework allows decision-makers to weigh the trade-offs between cost and retrieval time, guiding them in selecting the most appropriate data collection methods for their specific needs.
