Carefully recruited

Proprietary

Our pool is entirely our own - we don’t share it and we don’t use anyone else’s. So we know exactly who’s in it.

Vetted

We run onboarding checks based on attention, comprehension, and honesty and vet the weakest responses.

Verified

IP addresses are checked, then identities verified with Onfido’s bank-grade ID checks.

Diverse and bias-free

Our diverse pool gives you a rich and balanced dataset that’s less prone to bias.

All real, no repeats

No robots. And no repeat respondents with dual identities.

100% human

We don’t use AI participants to answer questions or do tasks – now or ever. Just 100% real human responses.

Closely managed

Participants are continuously monitored and managed so the quality of the pool stays high.

Monitored

We monitor participant contributions over time and improve pool quality to ensure consistently high quality responses.

Checked
