Boxes, scores, and closed choices make processing easier, but erase nuance. Decisions then rely on intuition, or chance. Harmate starts from this observation: let people answer freely, without losing the ability to analyze, compare, and decide. - The Problem #### Responses Are Impoverished People do not fully say what they think. They choose among the available options. #### Nuances Disappear Intentions, expectations, hesitations, and compatibilities become hard to read, compare, and use. #### Decisions Become Fragile When analysis no longer makes it possible to decide clearly, choices rely on gut feeling. ### How does it work? In three simple steps, create questionnaires, analyze responses, and use groupings when they help your decision. #### 1. Create & Customize the Questionnaire Pick a title, set the group rules, and write your questions. AI is here to help you. #### 2. Test & Share Test everything with personae, tweak if needed, then invite your participants. #### 3. Analyze & Group Review the responses and proposed groupings, then adjust what needs changing before sharing the result. ### Which solution fits your role? - Each profile has its own challenges. Discover how Harmate addresses them. #### How do you test before distribution, then decide in the field? - Two modes, one workflow. Simulation: explore questionnaire logic with personae. Real: collect responses in the field, analyze them, and decide. #### Simulation Mode #### Personae Configured profiles help test your questions. Observe your weighting logic before involving your audience. #### Iterate Before Distribution Adjust questions, weights, and grouping constraints before involving real participants. #### Explore the Effects of Your Settings Spot fragile distributions, empty groups, or incompatible constraints before real collection. #### Real Mode #### Field Collection Distribute your questionnaire via link (email, QR, etc.). Responses are analyzed automatically upon reception. #### Group According to Your Criteria Launch calculation from your weighting rules. The algorithm proposes a distribution justified by responses. #### Traceability & Exports Download detailed results (CSV, PDF): distribution, justifications, statistics for audit or integration. ### From Open-Ended Responses to Decisions That Move Work Forward Harmate turns qualitative material that is hard to review into readable signals, sourced findings, and shareable actions. - Open Questions #### The Original Material Stays Intact People answer in their own words without reducing their perspective to a checkbox or score. - Open-Ended Responses #### Signals Become Readable The analysis connects related wording, surfaces themes, and keeps the verbatims that illuminate them. - Themes & Verbatims #### Source Excerpts Stay in Reach Themes point back to their verbatims, while cited findings retain the excerpts used. - Reviewable Readings #### Analysis Opens the Next Action Prioritize an action, prepare a decision file, or create groups when that genuinely serves your objective. - Decision - Explore Open-Question Analysis ### Where do you start next? Start with the material you already have: an audience to understand, a questionnaire to test, responses to reuse, or a decision to share. - Use Cases #### Remote Exploratory Interviews Ask open-ended questions, follow up methodically, and turn verbatims into initial findings worth exploring. - Explore #### Simulation Before Distribution Test the questionnaire logic and explore response scenarios with personae before involving your audience. - Test #### Existing Response Analysis Import an existing corpus to clean it, analyze it, and bring it into the same decision workflow. - Reuse #### Decision Files Connect hypotheses, findings, evidence, and actions to keep a decision readable, explainable, and actionable. - Decide #### Exports & Handover Share a readable, traceable result without losing the context that connects analysis to the decision. - Share ### How does Harmate help Prepare training with questionnaires, response analysis, optional groupings, and reviewable quality records. #### Structure Training Assessments #### Analyze the Needs of Your Beneficiaries Complement your conversations with an online questionnaire to analyze beneficiary needs, with optional grouping from explicit criteria. #### Determine Your Positioning Methods With Harmate, discover the trends in your beneficiaries' responses through statistical analysis and adapt your positioning methods. #### Review Beneficiary Feedback Share a questionnaire, review the answers, and identify points to explore with beneficiaries. #### Improve Your Training Quality #### Identify the Difficulties of Your Beneficiaries Identify the difficulties of your beneficiaries and guide your training according to their individual and collective needs, using our tools. #### Create Work Groups Dynamize your training!

No credits Manual creation and editing, results viewing, standard dashboards, history and standard exports. No credits charged. Plan quotas Collected responses, active projects and users. Capacity included in the plan and renewed according to its period. Credits AI generation or rewriting, simulation, strategic analysis, topic clustering and other variable processing. One credit per successful audited AI call; a complex action may trigger several calls. #### Credit Consumption Grid A credit is a Harmate unit, not a provider token. A simple action equals one logical unit; a complex operation combines several audited calls. Manual creation or editing 0 credits Always free of credit charges. Viewing, dashboard, history or standard export 0 credits Reviewing or exporting an existing result does not rerun AI analysis. AI generation or rewriting 1 credit Per successful audited AI call. AI assistant message 1 credit Per successful call; internal technical retries for the same operation are not charged again. Persona-simulated answers Variable Estimated before launch from questionnaire workload and personae to process; already completed and reusable personae cost 0. The panel must be covered by the available balance. Full strategic analysis Variable Based on the actual number of AI modules completed successfully. Topic clustering Variable Based on the actual number of successful AI calls required for clustering. Bulk mirror questionnaire Variable Based on the actual number of successful AI calls required for processing. #### Charging Rules Each successful audited AI call consumes one credit; a complex operation may consume several. A failed action is not charged. Reviewing a cached result does not consume new credits. Each charge is recorded with its use case, date and idempotency key. #### Example: Festival Pack The Festival pack concentrates capacity over 60 days, without a subscription or included service engagement. Up to 25,000 responses can be collected without consuming the 10,000 credits. Credits only decrease when you launch an action listed in the grid. Standard features remain available throughout the pack period. ### What are the most frequently asked questions? #### What does Harmate transform in practice? Harmate turns open-ended responses into themes linked to verbatims and findings supported by excerpts. You then choose the evidence to carry into a decision, file, or grouping when your objective calls for it. #### Can I use Harmate without creating groups? Yes. Theme, verbatim, gap, and signal analysis can directly support a diagnosis, recommendation, or action plan. Grouping remains available when it genuinely helps the decision. #### What is the difference between Simulation and Real Mode? Simulation lets you test questionnaire logic and explore scenarios with personae before distribution. Real Mode collects responses from your audience in the field so you can analyze real material and decide. #### Can I analyze responses I already collected? Yes. Import existing responses through the available formats and connectors, clean the corpus, and bring it into the same analysis and decision workflow as Harmate collections. #### How does Harmate keep decisions explainable? Themes provide access to their verbatims, while cited findings retain the excerpts used. The team can then select the evidence to add to a decision file. #### How does grouping work when it is useful? You define criteria, weights, and constraints. Harmate analyzes the responses and proposes a distribution grounded in that material, which you can review and adjust before using it. #### Can I start for free? Yes. The Discovery plan is free and requires no commitment. It lets you test Harmate's main workflows within the limits listed on the Pricing page.
