Data Quality

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Data Quality That Actually Protects Your Work

No silver bullets. A system that works in the real world.

Data quality threats are everywhere—fraud, AI content, messy open-ends, and vendor inconsistency. There’s no magic switch that fixes it all. But there is a way to wrap each project in a quality system you can understand, explain, and measure.

 
 
OUR PURPOSE

A Data Quality System Built for Researchers

OpinionRoute’s data quality stack is built around how researchers actually work—not how vendors wish you worked. Instead of biased sample tools, we apply the right check at the right time in your project flow: before, during, and after field.

 
 
 
 FOUR CORE GOALS

4 Goals of the OpinionRoute Data Quality Stack

 
 
 
Produce trustworthy insights

So you can stand behind the story in front of your client.

 
Save researchers’ time

Less manual scrubbing, more time for analysis and strategy.

 
Protect the respondent experience

Good UX and thoughtful checks that don’t punish real people.

 
Constantly improve

Every project makes the system smarter for the next one.

 
 
THE RIGHT CHECKS AT THE RIGHT TIME

Quality Checks Mapped to Your Project Flow

 

Pre-Survey: Keep Bad Traffic Out

 
CleanID

Fraud prevention baked into every click. Stops known bad actors, devices, and patterns before they hit your survey.

 
Secure links & controls

Directly traps link jumpers, blocks ghost completes, avoids vendor fights, and keeps projects on time.

 

In-Survey: Catch Problems as They Happen

 
ResponseID

Looks at respondent behavior real-time to detect AI text, on-screen translators, and developer utilities in real time.

 
Programmed checks

Logic, attention checks, and pattern detection calibrated for quality, not punishment.

 

Post-Survey: Deep Review with an AI Co-Pilot

 
QC Flow (AI Co-Pilot)

An AI co-pilot that reviews responses across multiple dimensions (content, coherence, context), going far beyond speeders and straight-liners.

 
Researcher review with guidance

You stay in control, but QC Flow helps you focus on what actually needs human judgment.

 
 
 
 
 
 
BUILT FOR MRX AGENCIES

Built Exclusively for the Market Research Agency

The system is designed for MRX agencies that live and die on quality. We want you to see what’s happening, so we focus on giving you a clear, defensible quality story on every project.

 
 
VENDOR QUALITY & BENCHMARKING

Vendor Quality, Finally Quantified

OpinionRoute is home to the only vendor quality benchmarking system built specifically for MRAs:

 
 

Smart decision-making

Compare suppliers on how they perform on specific audience types.

 

Strategic field plans

Build vendor blends using current performance and quality data, not guesswork.

 
 
COMPREHENSIVE QUALITY CHECKS

Quality Woven into Every Phase

Our approach isn’t a bolt-on; it’s baked into your project:

 
 
 

Quality checks aligned to pre, in, and post survey stages

 

A system tuned to the real quality risks at each step

 

Tangible outputs you can share internally or with clients

 
CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT LOOP

A System That Gets Smarter Over Time

 
 

Crowdsourced improvement model

Learnings from a pool of quality-focused research agencies feed the system.

 

Not skewed by automated buying

Many vendors sell to clients who don’t clean the data. Not us.

 

“White Hat” mindset

We constantly probe for new threats and edge cases.

 

Researcher feedback loop

Your data reviews become a live report card and roadmap for updates.

 
 
 
HOW WE THINK ABOUT QUALITY

Quality Control from a Researcher’s Perspective

  • Starts with sampling fundamentals and the root causes of quality loss, not just symptoms.
  • Pulls in best practices from both inside MRX and other digital risk domains.
  • Uses a blend of expert analysis + AI/ML to keep up as threats evolve.
  • Offers transparent reporting you can walk a client through in 5 minutes.

A Modern Way to Protect Your Data

Most MR ops teams burn hundreds of hours a year on manual reviews that still miss key issues. Our system protects your data, simplifies your process, and gives you a clear story to tell your client.

We’ll audit your next project for free—your survey, your vendors, your new way to verify quality.
