Overview
Terac seeks people who help consumers work through administrative red tape to take part in a paid research study. The work centers on a written, eight-question questionnaire that you complete on your own schedule through a secure online platform. You will describe one recent, anonymous case of a recurring consumer problem, then estimate how often it happens, what the workaround costs in time and money, and which legal, professional, or privacy boundaries any new tool would need to respect. Answers feed into research on where software or services could ease these everyday burdens for consumers.
What You'll Do6
- Work through an eight-question written questionnaire covering consumer administrative problems.
- Pick one recent, recurring issue you saw a consumer face and describe it with identifying details removed.
- Put numbers on current workarounds: the hours they take, the money they cost, and how often they come up.
- Flag the professional, legal, or privacy constraints a new software tool would have to honor.
- Write your answers independently and submit them through the secure online platform.
- Separate what you saw first-hand from what you are estimating when you respond.
Requirements6
- Direct paid or volunteer experience guiding consumers through administrative tasks in the recent past.
- Skill at telling observed facts apart from estimates you are inferring.
- Comfort writing detailed answers on your own with no interviewer present.
- Discipline about consumer privacy, including stripping names and other identifying details from your example.
- Adult candidates based in the USA.
- Background in customer support, social services, administrative assistance, or volunteer consumer help.
Who Should Apply
Customer support staff, social workers, administrative assistants, and volunteer consumer advocates who have lately helped someone fight through paperwork or a bureaucratic snag. If you can write a precise, anonymized account of that experience and put rough numbers on the time and cost, this study fits you.
Salary Insight
The listing does not post a rate, so pay is not disclosed here and gets discussed during the study intake. Research studies of this kind usually pay a fixed amount per completed questionnaire rather than an hourly wage.
Application tip
Have one concrete consumer administrative case ready before you apply. Name the exact task involved, the rough hours and dollars the workaround consumed, and how often it recurs, since the questionnaire scores on concrete detail and clear fact-versus-estimate separation.
