Challenge
The Impact of Duplication on Data Quality and Respondent Experience
A Persistent Barrier to Efficiency and Engagement
The company continuously sought ways to improve data quality, mitigate fraud, and create better respondent experiences. One of the most pressing challenges was the issue of duplication, where respondents unknowingly participated in the same survey multiple times due to sourcing from multiple providers.
This problem created multiple layers of inefficiency: resources were wasted as duplicate responses had to be discarded, respondent frustration grew as they repeated surveys without earning rewards, and overall data quality was compromised. The need for a real-time, automated solution to eliminate duplication was evident, as existing tools could only address the issue retroactively during data cleaning.
