A hand-scored survey, rebuilt as a live experience

Empowering Differences measured audiences with a survey that was scored and written up by hand. Island Pitch rebuilt it on NextWave as an automated survey-to-report experience — with a live, on-screen version for the stage.

Format

Mobile survey + live stage display

The Challenge

The method worked. The manual work didn’t scale.

  • The survey, scoring, and personalized reports were produced by hand — one person at a time.
  • Large rooms made real-time results impossible; reports lagged days behind.
  • There was no way to run the survey live, on a screen, as part of a talk.
The Build

A survey-to-report engine, plus a live stage display.

  • A mobile-first 10-question survey that takes about 90 seconds — no login required.
  • The scoring algorithm, automated and verified against the original hand-scored reports.
  • A branded, multi-page personalized report — viewable online and printable to PDF.
  • A live presenter display for the stage, with audience phones joining by QR code.

From phone to stage to report

Every screen below is the real product — the same survey, live display, and report.

Built on NextWave

A bespoke experience on a shared platform.

Empowering Differences is a custom experience built on NextWave — the same platform behind NextWave’s membership tools, live audience experiences, and QR campaigns. The bespoke layer is what’s unique to the method; the platform underneath is what makes it run.

The empowerment algorithm and report logic stay in their own plugin — NextWave is the platform it runs on, not the owner of the method.
