Kelvin vs Qualtrics
“Not another thing on our plate.”
Qualtrics is built for researchers, not school leaders. While their tools are powerful, they require time and resources that districts simply don't have. Kelvin delivers the same research-backed insights without the heavy lift—so your data drives action, instead of gathering dust.

“Your team's support and knowledge was critical to the progress we have made so far. They successfully walked us through the development of a customized "pulse" survey aligned to our district board goals and framework. The technical elements were 'turn-key' and I greatly appreciated this fact. I am very grateful for the support your team provided us throughout the way."
