Logit Group Launches Anti-Fraud Tool Calibr8

Toronto, Canada-based data collection services and tools firm The Logit Group has launched Calibr8, a data quality and fraud detection system built to provide greater confidence in respondent authenticity and research outcomes and integrating with any survey platform.

Calibr8, which joins the firm's existing tools Zamplia, Votified and QuestionIQ, has been validated across a range of fielding environments. The modular system checks for fraud under eight headings:

1. Global Restrictions - blocking proxy, VPN and geolocation anomalies.
2. Metadata Scoring - checking device uniqueness based on hardware and software fingerprints.
3. a review of the relevance and structure of open-ended responses.
4. spotting and removing AI-generated or copy-pasted text.
5. Biometrics - monitoring behavioral inputs like keystrokes and cursor movements.
6. Coherency Scoring flagging inconsistent answers across related question sets.
7. Behavioral Monitoring - picking up long-term shifts in respondent patterns. and
8. Red Herrings - which detects inattentive or 'over-agreeable' behavior.

The system can be deployed pre-, mid- or post-fielding and provides full transparency regarding its reasoning, as well as flexibility features like customizable scoring thresholds.

'As fraud becomes more sophisticated,' notes Steve Male, EVP Innovation & Strategic Partnerships, 'ranging from AI-generated content to device spoofing, the tools we use to ensure data quality must evolve in equal measure. Calibr8 was built to meet this challenge with precision, scale, and transparency.'
