While most non-profits and researchers have heard of , few understand the mechanical heart that keeps it beating: Kobocat.

To understand Kobocat’s importance, imagine a water treatment plant. The field survey (the rain) falls via KoBoCollect. Without Kobocat, that water would simply flood the ground and disappear.

Kobocat is the piping and filtration system. It takes the XLSForm definitions (the blueprint of the survey) and ensures that every "Yes/No" or GPS coordinate arriving from the field actually fits the mold. If a surveyor accidentally types text into a number field, Kobocat is the sentinel that rejects the corrupt data before it poisons the analytics.
