HUMAN DATA INTEGRITY
Fast matching. Strong human data integrity.
AI-powered matching helps surface the right people fast, while multi-layer fraud defenses help protect the integrity of human input.
How matching works
AI-powered matching, built on years of network data
Our matching goes beyond hard filters, balancing speed, network health, fit, and fraud risk to surface qualified contributors.
01
Hard filtering
Structured criteria (age, location, role) immediately exclude anyone who doesn't qualify.
02
Screener success prediction
AI models analyze past responses and rank participants by likelihood of qualifying.
03
Re-ranking
Balances fulfillment speed, panel health, and fraud risk, prioritizing trusted participants for the most vulnerable studies.
04
Notify & measure
We source applications via targeted notifications and on-platform listings, with continuous measurement of fill rate, speed, and quality.

What's new
AI-based embedding models capture the nuance of project requirements beyond keyword matching, while automated tagging helps sharpen targeting precision.
Multi-layer fraud defense
Built to protect human authenticity as fraud evolves
As AI-generated noise rises, our defenses operate at four levels to help ensure the people contributing data and judgment are real, qualified, and trustworthy.
Layer 1
Participant-level detection
At signup, every new participant is automatically evaluated against 50+ fraud signals.
Layer 2
Project-level protections
Higher-risk studies (short screeners, broad criteria) are flagged and routed toward more trusted participants.
Layer 3
Quality & verification signals
Quality signals surface at review: flagged copy-paste responses, activity and ratings history, video screening, and verification badges.
Layer 4
Human oversight
Experienced coordinators investigate suspicious profiles, replace contributors when required, and resolve quality issues.
NETWORK INTEGRITY

Better occupation-pattern detection, automatic removal of AI-generated screener responses, third-party IP signals, and tighter fraud thresholds as new patterns emerge.
