However, I would caution you that the questions must be vetted properly. For example if you ask for the staff size ... there are many other questions that must be asked to assure that you are not comparing apples to oranges. For example, if the Lab is "mostly" a clean room with the "typical" tool set for MEMS, photonics, NEMS, etc then what if one of the respondents has a combination of these tools and metrology tools in addition?. Comparing those two labs will give you completely wrong answers. What about the size of the lab from hours used, to tools, to type of tools, to footprint, to number of faculty, to the size of the graduate program?</div>

What if you have someone causally "guessing" while another is fanatical about their data?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">I think that if the data are not "interrogated" by such things as follow-up phone calls or person to person visits ... you will have a bit of a problem selling that the foundation of the data are sound.</div>
