Abstract

Traditional rating scale surveys often encounter challenges such as data integrity issues due to lack of transparency leading to an un-auditable situation. These challenges can be overcomed by harnessing the capabilities of XNO's 1 block-lattice data structure and public distributed ledger technology while enhancing the efficiency, security, reliability of rating scale surveys ensuring immutability and transparency of data. Participants can be incentivized for responding to surveys through XNO micropayments, eliminating any intermediaries. The underlying technology of XNO ensures survey data integrity, prevents manipulation along with providing an auditable and tamper-proof record of survey results. This work also discusses a strategy for analyzing survey data collected through XNO transactions.
