Quota Manager¶
n-Infinite deliberately generates more synthetic respondents than you'll ultimately need — for example, generating 2,000 to deliver a final sample of 200. Quota Manager selects exactly the right subset of that larger pool to match your required sample structure — by age, gender, region, or any combination of fields — while always keeping all of your real respondents in the final dataset.
Three ways to define quota targets¶
- Manually. Choose the fields and set targets as counts or percentages directly in the platform.
- From standard population benchmarks. Apply a pre-loaded census/population pyramid for a given country.
- From your own quota sheet. Upload an Excel or CSV file with your quota targets, and n-Infinite uses AI to read it and map it to your project's questions automatically. The proposed mapping is always shown to you for review and adjustment before anything is applied — it is never used without your confirmation.
Interlocked quotas and relaxation¶
Quota Manager supports both simple, independent targets per field and interlocked quotas — cross-tabulated targets, such as a specific age-by-gender cell.
Selection is deterministic and reproducible. If a quota target can't be fully met from the available synthetic pool, the platform reports the shortfall clearly rather than silently under-filling it. For interlocked projects with strict global targets you can set relaxation priorities, telling the system which quota dimensions may flex first when a specific combination runs short.
Output¶
A ready-to-use filtered dataset plus a quota fulfillment report.
