The agreement, which starts later this month, will see Verisoul’s anti-fraud tool built into Research Results’ data and panel projects as part of its Radar quality intelligence system.

Verisoul is based in Austin, Texas, and runs a fraud detection platform to identify AI bots, duplicates and fraudsters in research surveys.

Research Results is based in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and is an onshore operations company to help with operational tasks for research projects.

Jeremy Engelin, head of field operations at Research Results, said: “We partnered with Verisoul because they bring a modern, thoughtful approach to data verification that fits perfectly with how we define quality.

“Their background in fraud and identity tech – from outside the traditional market research world – offers a fresh way to think about sample quality and bad-actor detection.”
