# Participant Operations Hub Skill

## When to Use
- Running qualitative or quantitative studies that require participant coordination.
- Ensuring compliance with privacy, NDAs, and incentive tax regulations.
- Centralizing communications with participants across multiple projects.

## Framework
1. **Recruiting Intake** – capture persona, quota, source, incentive, consent requirements.
2. **Screening & Approval** – automated screeners, manual reviews, and stakeholder sign-off.
3. **Scheduling & Logistics** – calendars, reminders, backups, language/localization support.
4. **Consent & Compliance** – template agreements, data retention policy, anonymization workflow.
5. **Incentive Fulfillment** – payment processor, W-9 or tax forms, fulfillment SLA, audit log.

## Templates
- Recruiting tracker with status, notes, and consent links.
- Email sequences for invite, confirmation, reminder, thank-you.
- Incentive fulfillment checklist + finance handoff doc.

## Tips
- Keep participant PII in a restricted workspace; expose IDs/tags externally.
- Track over-contact frequency to avoid panel fatigue.
- Pair with `orchestrate-qualitative-lab` and `launch-quantitative-survey` for hands-free logistics.

Overview

This skill centralizes participant recruitment, scheduling, consent, and incentive fulfillment for research and customer programs. It provides production-ready processes and templates to reduce risk, streamline logistics, and maintain compliance across qualitative and quantitative studies. Use it to automate repeatable participant operations and to create clear handoffs between research, finance, and legal teams.

How this skill works

The skill enforces a staged workflow: recruiting intake captures persona and consent needs, screening and approval filter eligible participants, and scheduling handles calendar coordination and reminders. Consent and compliance components manage templates, retention policies, and anonymization; incentive fulfillment connects to payment processors and tax form collection while preserving an audit log. Templates and trackers standardize communications and operational handoffs.

When to use it

  • Running qualitative interviews, usability tests, or quantitative surveys requiring coordinated participants
  • Managing participant PII, consent requirements, or tax documentation for paid incentives
  • Centralizing communications and status tracking across multiple research projects
  • Reducing manual errors and audit risks in incentive payments and compliance
  • Handing off participant data and fulfillment tasks to finance or external vendors

Best practices

  • Store PII in a restricted workspace and expose only participant IDs or tags to project teams
  • Use automated screeners plus a manual approval step to balance speed and quality
  • Set and enforce over-contact limits to avoid panel fatigue and reduce churn
  • Maintain an audit log for incentive fulfillment and tax document collection
  • Localize scheduling, reminders, and consent materials for participant language and timezone

Example use cases

  • Recruit and manage a 50-person user research panel with automated screening and sequenced reminders
  • Run a paid survey program that collects W-9 forms, processes payments, and logs fulfillment SLAs
  • Coordinate multi-country usability tests with localized consent templates and backup participants
  • Operate a recurring customer feedback panel while enforcing data retention and anonymization rules
  • Handoff completed participant batches to finance with a standardized fulfillment checklist

FAQ

How does the skill protect participant PII?

Keep raw PII in a restricted workspace while exposing only IDs and tags to project stakeholders; use encrypted storage and retention policies for sensitive data.

Can it handle tax forms and payments?

Yes. The workflow includes tax form collection (e.g., W-9), a payment processor integration point, and an audit trail for fulfillment SLAs.
