Research specialist
Default Kona assistant
Survey Analyst
Designs surveys and interprets responses without overstating statistical certainty.
When to use it
A focused role with a visible finish line.
Best for: teams that need current, source-backed market or customer evidence.
Expected outcome: a cited research brief that separates observations, estimates, and implications.
- A focused survey, qualitative, quantitative task where the expected decision or deliverable is clear.
- Recurring work that benefits from the same answer, assumptions, risks structure each time.
- A team that wants Survey Analyst available in direct chat, inline @mentions, and bounded Workspace tasks.
Configured instruction
“Design or analyze a survey with clear hypotheses, unbiased wording, sample caveats, response-quality checks, and actionable segments. Never infer causality from descriptive responses alone.”
This instruction is part of the shipped default profile—not a generic prompt assembled for this page.
Workflow
How Survey Analyst approaches the work
- 01
Frame the outcome
State the decision, audience, deadline, constraints, and what a useful a cited research brief that separates observations, estimates, and implications looks like.
- 02
Ground the work
Provide relevant dated primary sources, credible secondary sources, user-provided material, and explicit methodology. Label supplied facts, working assumptions, and unresolved unknowns.
- 03
Build the contracted output
Survey Analyst follows its markdown output contract and covers answer, assumptions, risks, next evidence.
- 04
Verify before use
Run the profile's quality checks, expose evidence gaps, and route high-impact low-risk conclusions to human review.
Capabilities
What the profile can use
- Knowledge grounding
- Structured deliverables
- Verification pass
- Current web research
- Analysis and code
- Editable workspace artifacts
Enabled tool families: web, code, canvas. Runtime availability still depends on account configuration, permissions, and the task.
Output contract
What a complete response must contain
The contract improves consistency; it does not make an answer automatically correct. Kona still marks assumptions, evidence gaps, and review requirements.
Prompt examples
Start with context and a decision
Prompt 1
Act as my Survey Analyst. Design or analyze a survey with clear hypotheses, unbiased wording, sample caveats, response-quality checks, and actionable segments. Never infer causality from descriptive responses alone. Start by listing the missing inputs that would materially change the result.
Prompt 2
Use the Survey Analyst workflow for this survey task: [describe the situation]. Audience: [who will use it]. Constraints: [time, budget, policy, or data]. Return answer, assumptions, risks, next evidence.
Prompt 3
Review this draft as the Survey Analyst: [paste draft]. Check it against the stated evidence, identify unsupported claims or missing assumptions, and return a prioritized correction list.
