Surveys that prove
who answered.
Stop making decisions on survey data anyone could have manipulated. Identity-verified surveys ensure every response comes from a real, eligible person.

The problem with an open survey link
An open link is built for ease of answering, not proof of who answered. That includes our own free survey maker.
Bots and duplicate submissions
An open link cannot tell whether two answers came from the same person, and a bot check stops most bots but not a determined one. Duplicate responses inflate your data and skew decisions.
Non-member contamination
Shared links let anyone respond: former employees, non-residents, people with no stake. Your "member survey" isn't actually surveying members.
No audit trail when challenged
When someone disputes your survey results, you can't prove who responded. No verification means no record of who answered.
Surveys that need verification
Any survey that informs a real decision
Built for data you can defend
Every feature designed to produce survey results that survive scrutiny
Identity Verification
Email, SMS, or government ID verification ensures each response comes from a real, eligible person.
Respondent List Enforcement
Upload your member list. Only people on the list can respond. No forwarded links, no outsiders.
Verified Anonymity
Confirm who responded without seeing what they said. Anonymous mode keeps individual responses private from organizers.
Real-Time Response Tracking
Monitor response rates live. See who hasn't responded yet and send targeted reminders.
Exportable Audit Trail
Every response timestamped with verification records. Export the results as PDF or CSV, and the full audit package for your records.
Instant Results
Results available the moment the survey closes. Clean, verified data ready for decision-making.
How it works

Upload your member, employee, or resident list. Only they can respond.

Each person verifies their identity and submits once. One answer per person on your list.
Export Results
