Sažetak	Pilot multistage sampling applies a small-scale trial run of a multistage sampling design before committing to the full fieldwork. The researcher draws a mini-version of the hierarchical sample — typically spanning the same stages (e.g., regions, then clusters, then individuals) — to test frame quality, stage-transition procedures, and variance estimates, then uses those findings to calibrate the main sampling plan.	Multistage sampling is a probability-based design that selects a sample by working through two or more successive levels of a population hierarchy — for example, first selecting regions, then districts within those regions, then households within those districts. It makes large-scale surveys practical when a complete population list is unavailable or when the population is geographically dispersed, by concentrating fieldwork within a manageable number of sampled units at each stage.
