Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The document submitted by Katie that outlines the activities, deliverables, timelines, and costs is most likely a research proposal, which serves as a written contract between the researcher and the client (in this case, Sayeed, the marketing manager of GK Corp). A methodology transcript or research design would outline the methods and approach to be used in the research project, while a questionnaire design would focus specifically on the design of the survey instrument. The final research report is a document produced at the end of the research project summarizing the findings and conclusions.
