Survey & Panel Integrity

Every respondent counted once, from where they say

One device completing a study under ten panel profiles is one device to us, even in private mode behind a fresh VPN. LRDefender scores every entry in real time and hands your analysts the evidence, not just a number.

The Problem

Bad completes look exactly like good ones

Panel fraud does not crash a survey. It arrives as plausible answers from plausible profiles, and it only becomes visible later, as crosstabs that do not replicate and clients who stop trusting the sample.

One professional respondent completes the same study under many profiles, from one device, in private windows.
Respondents route through commercial VPNs to qualify for higher-incidence, higher-payout geographies.
Scripted form fillers and real-browser AI agents complete surveys end to end with human-like pacing.
Open-ended answers arrive pasted or outsourced, and the text itself looks fine.
When an analyst rejects a complete, the respondent disputes it, and a bare score is not an answer.

The Solution

Verdicts your analysts can defend

Device recognition, network intelligence, and automation detection score every entry. Network verdicts carry every signal labelled fact or inference with its direction; device and automation verdicts return their contributing signals. When a rejected respondent pushes back, your analyst can show exactly what was observed, which no bare score can do.

Duplicate respondents by device

The device ID survives cleared cookies, private mode, new sessions, and IP rotation, so repeat completes link to one device however many profiles they arrive under. Cross-browser matching holds within the same engine family.

Geo misrepresentation by network

VPN, proxy, Tor, and datacenter detection on the respondent address, returned as a graded decision, from allow to block, with a plain rationale. Scoring is rule-based and the rationale is readable.

Automation and AI agents

Headless stacks and scripted form fillers are scored out of the box; the probe set for real-browser AI agents is a per-study setting you switch on. No CAPTCHA in front of honest respondents.

Open-end input integrity

Keystroke-versus-paste telemetry flags pasted or outsourced free text using counts and timings only. The answer text is never stored or transmitted; only counts and timings leave the page.

Evidence, labelled

Network verdicts carry their signals graded fact or inference, each with a direction; device and automation verdicts return their contributing signals. Exculpatory evidence is kept, because a rejection an analyst cannot defend is a refund waiting to happen.

Respondent privacy by design

No name, email, or answer content is collected. Device signals are stored as hashes, and respondent network addresses are processed only for network intelligence. Aligned with GDPR and CCPA data minimization.

How It Works

Three steps to protection

1

Tag the survey entry

The Browser SDK loads on your entry page and collects device and runtime signals asynchronously, without delaying the first question.

2

Score at complete

At submit, one API call returns the device link, the network verdict, and the automation score, with the evidence attached.

3

Act before payout

Flag, exclude, or hold completes ahead of incentive payment and quota close, using your own thresholds in your own rules.
