Intellus Data Integrity Checklist

Question 1

Does the sample provider validate real identity before granting panel access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos validates real identity by using invitation-only recruitment from pre-validated healthcare sources, cross-referencing with government NPI data, and validating email legitimacy. Enrollment information is confirmed through a multi-step process before members are granted access to the panel.

Question 2

Does the sample provider verify HCP credentials and revalidate them periodically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos verifies HCP credentials through NPI, specialty, known practice location, and professional licensing information. Ongoing validation checks help identify changes in panel members' professional status and information. The Enos panel is the only healthcare panel that has 100% of its members validated and associated with their NPI.

Question 3

Does the sample provider scan for and detect high-risk IPs, VPNs, proxies, and datacenter traffic at signup?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos uses IP and geolocation checks to detect VPNs, proxies, and other suspicious activity during signup to help prevent fraud and validate panel members. Enos tracks nine different types of proxy IP sources. In addition, IP and geolocation are continually monitored for unusual activity.

Question 4

Are respondents recruited using open-source recruiting?

Accepted Answer

No. Enos uses invitation-only recruitment through pre-validated sources such as hospital books/directories, medical directories, claims data, and verified health internet sites—never through open-source recruiting.

Question 5

If CATI is used, will all recordings be available for review?

Accepted Answer

No. Enos does not use CATI methods for recruitment. However, when necessary, validation checks do occur by calling published business phone numbers.

Question 6

Is the sample provider and insights provider a GDQ Pledge signee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos has signed the GDQ Pledge and is actively involved in GDQ initiatives.

Question 7

Is reCAPTCHA or equivalent being used?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos uses reCAPTCHA during provider signup to help prevent automated or fraudulent registrations of bots.

Question 8

Is digital fingerprinting enabled?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos uses digital browser fingerprinting as part of its layered fraud prevention and deduplication process.

Question 9

Will entrants that fail predetermined fraud detection criteria be terminated before entering the survey?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As a safety net, Enos automatically deploys detection methods for fraudulent behavior and will stop survey entries. This also includes monitoring for duplicates.

Question 10

Does the digital fingerprint solution use cross-panel monitoring to stop duplication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos uses cross-source monitoring and real-time suppression, along with digital browser fingerprinting and other deduplication measures, to identify and prevent duplication across multiple sample sources.

Question 11

Is an internal suppression list used to flag bad actors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos maintains an internal suppression list to flag poor-quality panel members in real time. We maintain a rigid three-strikes policy. Panel members who accumulate three flags are barred from further survey participation.

Question 12

Is third-party monitoring of fraud databases and blacklists used?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos checks panelist-provided email addresses against known fraudulent emails and other fraud indicators to identify suspicious activity. This includes government watchlists and NPI deactivation and licensing suspensions.

Question 13

Are automated tools used to detect data entry patterns, on-screen translators, response patterns, or logical consistency?

Accepted Answer

Not applicable. Enos does not program or administer client surveys and therefore does not directly conduct in-survey response analysis. Survey response quality issues reported to Enos are used to monitor panelist quality and future participation.

Question 14

Are automated tools used to evaluate open-ended responses for AI-generated answers, wrong topic or language, duplicates, poor quality, or copy-paste responses?

Accepted Answer

Not applicable. Enos does not program or administer client surveys and therefore does not directly evaluate open-ended survey responses. Survey response quality issues reported to Enos are used to monitor panelist quality and future participation.

Question 15

Is behavioral analytics used to measure mouse activity, keystroke dynamics, or navigation patterns?

Accepted Answer

Not applicable. Enos does not program or administer client surveys and therefore does not directly conduct behavioral analysis. Survey response quality issues reported to Enos are used to monitor panelist quality and future participation.

Question 16

Are bot traps programmed into the survey and suspected fraudulent completes flagged in the data file?

Accepted Answer

Not applicable. Enos does not program or administer client surveys and therefore does not directly program bot traps or flag suspected fraud in survey data files. Survey quality issues reported to Enos are used to monitor panelist quality and future participation.

Question 17

Is a third-party payment vendor used to validate respondents' payments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enos uses third-party payment vendors to process respondent payments and cross-check payment information against panel member enrollment information. All payments are traceable and verifiable.

Question 18

Are new members restricted from redeeming incentives until quality thresholds are met?

Accepted Answer

No. Enos does not use redemption thresholds or withhold incentives until members reach a participation threshold. Panel members are paid for each survey as it is completed, with payments processed promptly.

Question 19

Are manual fraud and quality checks being conducted by the insights provider?

Accepted Answer

Not applicable. Enos is a panel-only company. However, Enos does use manual human verification and quality checks to maintain panel quality. Feedback from insights providers is always welcome, as this is used to monitor poor-quality respondents and review potential survey instrument gaps.
