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.
Member satisfaction, budget priorities, strategic planning, employee engagement. Get data you can actually defend. Free to start; add verified email or SMS responses when the result has to hold up.

The problem with free survey tools
SurveyMonkey, Google Forms, and Typeform prioritize ease of creation, not integrity of results.
Bots and duplicate submissions
Free survey tools can't tell a real person from a bot. Duplicate responses from the same person 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 defense.
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 as PDF or CSV for your records.
Instant Results
Results available the moment the survey closes. Clean, verified data ready for decision-making.
How it works
From survey creation to verified results in four steps
Create Survey
Build your questions: multiple choice, ranking, open text, or any format.
Import Respondents
Upload your member, employee, or resident list. Only they can respond.
Collect Responses
Each person verifies their identity and submits once. No duplicates possible.
Export Results
Clean, verified data with full audit trail. Ready for board presentations or compliance.
