#### Turn Real Responses into Actionable Groups

Real Mode takes over when the questionnaire is ready for the field: invite participants, track collection, read the signals and build groups you can justify.
- Harmate Real Mode
- Launch a Collection
- View Simulation Mode

Real responses kept separate from simulated runs.

Participation, quality and signals visible while collection runs.

Groups generated, adjustable and exportable with their rationale.

#### From Invitation to Actionable Group

Real Mode is not just a form distribution step. It keeps questionnaire, participation, analysis, grouping decisions and shareable evidence connected.
- Field Flow

#### Start from a Ready Questionnaire

Start from a template, a job description or a questionnaire already tested in simulation, then lock what respondents will see.
- Prepare
- Less improvised field work

#### Send the Right Link to the Right People

Respondents answer without an account. The organizer keeps control of the scope: session, cohort, recruiting process, team or program.
- Invite
- Controlled participation

#### Monitor the Collection While It Runs

Response rate, late respondents, incomplete answers and quality signals stay visible before analysis or grouping.
- Monitor
- Less blind decision

#### Analyze Real Responses

Dashboards, statistics, scores and open-response analysis turn answers into readable material without losing useful verbatims.
- Read
- Actionable signals

#### Generate, Adjust, Export

Harmate proposes groups aligned with your criteria. Review them, adjust them, then export results and rationale.
- Decide
- Defensible groups

#### Real Mode works best when Simulation has already cleaned the setup.

If the questionnaire, instructions or panel still feel unstable, run a simulation first to avoid exposing participants too early.
- Before the Field
- Compare with Simulation

#### What Real Mode Really Orchestrates

Each capability has a precise field responsibility: prepare a clean collection, reach participants, read responses and turn material into decisions.
- Activated Capabilities

#### Prepare the Collection

Real Mode starts from a support clear enough to be shown to real people.

#### AI Assistant

The assistant helps generate, rewrite and review the questionnaire before launch, then acts as a copilot when early responses reveal a blind spot.

#### Templates and Job Descriptions

A training, HR or job-description template gives a business starting point. Real Mode then checks whether answers produce useful segmentation.

#### Open and Mirror Questions

Open questions collect field nuance; mirror questions help verify that instructions are understood without adding unnecessary fields.

#### Reach Participants

The field starts when the right questionnaire reaches the right people with as little friction as possible.

#### Response Link

Respondents access the questionnaire directly. Their experience stays simple while the organizer keeps the session structured.

#### Invitations and Reminders

Completion tracking prevents you from discovering too late that a cohort, role or level is missing from the collected material.

#### Privacy Frame

Real responses are not treated as trials. They stay separate from simulations and sit inside an explicit collection frame.

#### Read Real Responses

A collection only has value if answers become readable, comparable and tied to the decisions to make.

#### Dashboards and Statistics

Dashboards provide the overview: participation, distributions, criteria, watch points and usable material for grouping.

#### Response Cleaning

Open responses are normalized, grouped and inspectable so lexical noise does not hide an important signal.

#### Language Score

When language matters, the score helps read levels and avoid groups poorly balanced around comprehension constraints.

#### Decide and Share

The mode must result in defensible groups, not just a response table.

#### Automatic Grouping

Matching criteria produce groups you can review, adjust and explain from real responses.

#### Exports and Archiving

Responses, groups and rationale remain shareable: for a training team, manager, client or quality file.

#### Simulation Real Handoff

The questionnaire can be prepared in simulation then used in real mode without mixing fictional answers, field answers and final decisions.

#### Signals to Keep Visible

Real Mode is valuable because it does not hide collection state before producing a decision.
- Missing Answers
- Remind
- Fragile Criteria
- Review
- Useful Verbatims
- Keep
- Final Groups
- Justify

#### When Real Mode Becomes Decisive

The mode becomes central as soon as real people answer and the decision affects their path, group or selection.
- Use Cases

#### Position a Training Session

#### Build an Internal Cohort

#### Compare Matching Scenarios

#### Document a Quality Decision

#### The Right Promise

Real Mode does not promise automatic truth. It promises readable collection, traceable analysis and groups you can stand behind.

Use simulation to correct before exposure.

Use Real Mode to validate with real participants.

Keep real responses separate from simulated trials.

#### Frequently Asked Questions About Real Mode

#### How Is This Different from Simulation Mode?

Simulation Mode tests a questionnaire with personae before the field. Real Mode collects answers from real participants and uses them to analyze, group and export.

#### Do Participants Need an Account?

No. They answer through a questionnaire link. The account remains on the organizer side to manage collection, read results and handle groups.

#### Can I Start from a Simulated Questionnaire?

Yes. It is the recommended flow when the cost of a poor collection is high: correct in simulation, then launch the same setup in real mode.

#### Can Groups Be Modified After Generation?

Yes. Proposals are a decision base. You can review, adjust and keep the rationale before export or sharing.

#### What Happens to Real Responses?

They remain attached to the real collection and distinct from simulated answers. They feed the analyses, groups and exports for that session.

#### Collect, Analyze, Build Your Groups

Launch a real collection when your questionnaire is ready, then turn answers into readable, exportable decisions.
