Integrity for research panels and surveys

Bots, duplicate participants, and AI-fabricated open responses poison research. Honrly helps research teams detect inauthentic participation and review evidence before insights ship to product decisions.

01

How research gets poisoned

Incentive-driven panels attract fraud. Generative AI makes open-text responses look human in seconds. Classic attention checks and speed traps catch some bots-and miss sophisticated AI-fabricated answers that pass those filters.

02

Fraud patterns researchers actually see

Duplicate accounts across studies, copy-paste open responses, suspiciously generic “user stories,” and participants who cannot defend their own answers in a follow-up. Integrity programs need signals for those patterns-not only a CAPTCHA at the start.

03

What Honrly adds to panel workflows

Integrity signals, review workflows, and evidence researchers can inspect-without pretending every flag is proven fraud. Researchers decide exclusions and document rationale so product partners trust the cleaned dataset.

Integrity gate

Threats get intercepted. Genuine candidates pass through.

A four-scene integrity loop: live session, anomaly detection, layered interception, and verified pass—built for AI-era cheating.

Hiring pipeline

Without a gate, risk flows into every hire. With Honrly, it doesn't.

Watch one hiring wave: intake, unchecked advance, gated interception, then a shortlist built only from verified sessions.

Evidence report

Excerpts hiring panels can actually use

Each competency surfaces quoted evidence, rubric anchors, and an integrity status—not a vague fit number.

Keep researchers in control

Auto-dropping every flagged participant can bias samples. Review queues, clear exclusion rules, and participant-facing policy protect both data quality and ethics. Protect participant experience with clear rules before the study starts.
