Client testimonials

  • Professor Shaun Ruggunan & Dr Cristy Leeks
    My colleague Dr Cristy Leask and I consulted Metad8ta for a project on employee resilience and agility during the Covid-19 pandemic. The response was prompt and the initial meet helped us map out our research approach in a logical and coherent way. Deep, prompt and useful feedback was provided on our instrument. The analysis was delivered in a professional manner, with a handover meeting that allowed us to raise any queries or clarifications. Support was ongoing through the data collection and analysis process. The experience that MetaD8ta provides sets them apart from other service providers. As active researchers themselves they have an empathetic understanding of the research approach and the challenges that researchers face. I highly recommend them even if you are a novice quantitative researcher. Apart from the analysis, you end up learning and appreciating so much more about the quantitative research process. As experienced academics and practitioners, Cristy and myself are happy to work with them again

  • Dr. Atish Vanmali MBChB
    It is indeed a pleasure to provide a reference for Metad8ta. Having completed my final exam in Diagnostic Radiology in 2012 I embarked on the Master of Medicine (Radiology) certificate. I had conducted a retrospective study and required statistical analysis for the project. I fortunately met the team at Metad8ta and together we embarked on the process of analysing my data. Metad8ta presented a professional approach that appeared enthusiastic to provide professional analysis for the project. They demonstrated personalised service, with an efficient time frame for completion. The process was seamless, without challenges and the advice was accurate with an extensive understanding of statistics within the relevant context. I personally am planning to embark on a prospective study and will certainly recruit the services of Metad8ta to manage the project.
