Interview

IRB-approved amounts. Do not improvise a different figure in the field.

End of every session

  • End the intercept session in Part E before you leave the zone.
  • Export the CSV from the device you used. The device is the record of truth.
  • Check the panel reads Confirmed on server (Part A) or Backed up (Parts B, C, D and E) with nothing pending.
  • Part C: the paper tally sheet stays the primary record. File it before you transcribe.

Where we may work

  • Public and semi-public areas only, as named in the letter of cooperation.
  • Never in guest rooms, at room doors, or in private areas.
  • If the hotel asks the team to withdraw from an area, withdraw without discussion.

Say it every time

  • Participation is voluntary and a guest may stop at any point.
  • The hotel receives no individual responses, recordings, transcripts or identifiable data.
  • We are not hotel staff and nothing a guest tells us affects their stay.
