ResponseID™: Caught in the Act

Real-time detection of modern response fraud — while the survey is happening.

Fraud doesn’t only show up before a survey starts. A lot of it happens inside the questions — especially in open-ends. ResponseID detects fraudulent behaviors in real time, flags risk clearly, and gives researchers usable signals without guesswork.

What ResponseID Does

Protects Open-Ends from Modern Manipulation

ResponseID is an API that detects behavioral fraud signals in real time and translates them into a simple, actionable risk profile. It helps you spot:

AI-assisted answers and copy/paste behavior
Duplicate or recycled responses across devices
Real-time screen translation
Developer tool usage and technology manipulation
What “Caught in the Act” Means

Fraudulent Behaviors, Detected in Real Time

ResponseID is built for the new reality: respondents can use AI tools, translators, and browser utilities while answering. Traditional QC often catches this too late — after you’ve already paid for the response. ResponseID flags the behavior as it happens so you can take action immediately.

Visual Section: Human Answers vs. Tool-Assisted Answers

Not Every Bad Response Looks the Same

ResponseID separates genuine human behavior from tool-assisted manipulation — in real time.

Human Answers
Natural, Imperfect, Contextual

Visual cues:

  • Hand-written / organic iconography
  • Softer edges
  • “Low Risk” indicator

Real respondents don’t answer perfectly — and that’s the point.

Typical signals:

  • Varied typing speed
  • Natural phrasing and inconsistency
  • Occasional typos or shorthand
  • Answers grounded in personal context

Human responses are messy — and that’s usually a good sign.

Tool-Assisted Answers
Fast, Patterned, Too Polished

Visual cues:

  • Cursor / code / AI-style iconography
  • Sharper lines
  • “Medium–High Risk” indicator

These behaviors suggest outside assistance during the survey.

Common signals ResponseID detects:

  • AI-generated or search-derived text
  • Duplicate open-ends across respondents or devices
  • Unusually high typing speed or long responses
  • Real-time screen translation
  • Developer console activity

These patterns don’t prove intent — but they do require scrutiny.

Bridge Statement

Context Beats Guesswork

ResponseID doesn’t assume wrongdoing. It observes behavior, assigns risk, and gives researchers clear signal — so decisions are informed, defensible, and consistent.

ResponseID flags behavior as it happens, allowing teams to act during field instead of cleaning up after the fact.

Examples of Behavioral Fraud ResponseID Catches

Common Behaviors We Identify

AI / Search-Derived Responses (ChatGPT-style)
  • The answer appears derived from a third-party tool instead of the respondent’s own thinking.
Duplicate answers, different device
  • Identifies identical answer patterns compared to previous responses — even across different devices.
Real-Time Screen Translation
  • Detects real-time translation behavior often used by international respondents posing as in-market.
Developer Console Open
  • Flags when the browser developer console is active — a common indicator of manipulation behavior.
What You Get

Clear Outputs Researchers Can Use

Evaluation Summary (Response-Level Risk)

ResponseID produces a simple risk profile for each response:

  • Low Risk
  • Medium Risk
  • High Risk
Flag Data Points (Deeper Control When You Want It)

ResponseID also provides 9 underlying flags that can be mapped into your dataset — for teams that want deeper review, better reporting, or automated terminations via programming logic.

Why ResponseID is Different

Designed for Today’s Threats

The biggest shift in research quality isn’t just bots — it’s tool-assisted answering. ResponseID is built to detect the behaviors that traditional QC methods don’t see, especially in open-ends. You get earlier signal, clearer decisions, and less time wasted cleaning up after field.

Stop Paying for Tool-Assisted Responses

Let ResponseID catch modern response fraud in real time — and give your researchers clearer signal, faster.
