How it works
Three steps from survey to peer comparison
- 01
Take the open survey
Professional members answer a short anonymous survey — usually one main survey per quarter, plus occasional one-question check-ins.
- 02
Answers stay private
Your firm is never named. Answers feed a public India-wide confidence score.
- 03
Unlock peer comparisons
After results publish, contributors can see how firms like theirs answered — by practice type, state and size when enough people took part.
Public score
Industry confidence score
A 0–100 reading for India's AECO industry. Above 50 means net optimism.
Index publishing soon
The first public benchmark lands after a wave closes. Meanwhile, professionals can still join and watch for the next open survey.

Why AECO professionals contribute
Anonymous by design
Pulse aggregates verified professionals. Individual answers are never published as a named firm view.
Public score + private depth
Anyone can follow the public 0–100 score. Contributors unlock richer peer comparisons after results publish.
Built for AECO India
Surveys and reports are framed for Indian practice — category, state and firm-size cuts when enough firms answered.

Common questions
Who can take surveys?
AECO Pulse surveys are for verified professional members. Sign in (or join as a professional), then open the Surveys hub to take any open survey.
Is the confidence score public?
Yes. The headline 0–100 score and published reports are public. Peer comparisons that show how firms like yours answered unlock after you contribute and that survey’s results publish.
How often do surveys run?
Usually one main industry survey each quarter, plus occasional shorter one-question check-ins. Open surveys appear in your Surveys hub when they go live.
How is this different from quizzes?
Quizzes test what you know and score you instantly. Surveys measure industry outlook — you contribute anonymously and unlock peer comparisons, not a personal exam score.
Ready to shape the next wave?
Professional members contribute anonymously, unlock segment benchmarks, and help make each survey wave more representative.
Prefer to test yourself instead?
Quizzes score knowledge on AECO topics. Surveys measure industry outlook — use both from Learn.
