Pilot, Pilot study

A pilot is used in large and complex projects with a smaller sample size to confirm the method and tools before conducting the research at a larger scale. The results of the pilot are not included in the final results of the study, but are used solely to iron out the possible problems with the questionnaire (wording, questions...)
