Quality Scoring Algorithm:
Comprehensive Data Validation

Individual fraud detection mechanisms provide valuable signals, but comprehensive quality assessment requires integrating multiple indicators into holistic scoring. Zamplia's Calibr8 quality scoring algorithm combines infrastructure-level validation, behavioral analysis, and AI-powered content review into a hybrid model that assigns each respondent a comprehensive quality score. This layered approach ensures that responses must pass multiple independent checks rather than single-point verification that sophisticated fraudsters can circumvent.​

The Calibr8 algorithm evaluates eight distinct quality dimensions, each contributing evidence to the overall quality assessment. Global restrictions and security checks verify IP addresses, block VPNs and proxies, confirm geolocation accuracy, and detect duplicate devices. Metadata and device fingerprinting confirm unique respondents and prevent multiple submissions through analysis of operating systems, browser types, and hardware configurations. Behavioral flow tracking monitors navigation patterns, interaction timing, and movement through survey logic.​

AI-powered components analyze content quality through multiple lenses. Smart response review evaluates open-ended answers for relevance, coherence, and meaningful engagement rather than perfunctory text meeting minimum character requirements. AI detection systems identify synthetically generated content from large language models, which represent an escalating threat as AI tools become more sophisticated and accessible. Response coherency scoring cross-checks answers across interlocked questions, flagging contradictions that indicate inattentive or fraudulent completion.​

Engagement metrics and biometric signals complete the quality assessment. Red herring questions designed to detect over-agreeability, straightlining, and inattentive clicking provide direct evidence of engagement levels. Advanced behavioral biometrics analyze keystroke dynamics-typing speed, correction patterns, pauses between words-and mouse movement precision to identify automated activity or suspicious behavioral signatures. The cumulative quality score from these eight dimensions determines whether responses proceed to the client dataset, get flagged for manual review, or face immediate rejection, with the system claiming 99.5% fraud detection accuracy.​

Why Zamplia's Sample Approach Delivers Superior Research Outcomes

Combining global reach with uncompromising quality standards creates research advantages that translate directly into business impact. Access to 50+ million verified respondents across 190 countries ensures feasibility for even specialized targeting requirements, reducing field times and enabling faster insights delivery.
