New Features & Enhancements

Price Curve Smoothing
A new smoothing mechanism has been introduced to eliminate reversals in price curves, improving the consistency and interpretability of pricing outputs. This feature can be configured directly during survey setup using the newly introduced Feature Properties functionality, providing greater flexibility in controlling model behaviour.

Feature Properties Configuration
A new Feature Properties capability allows key model and survey behaviours to be configured directly at setup. This enhances transparency and control, making it easier to tailor functionality to specific study needs.

 

Data Quality, Performance & Reliability

Stronger AntiFraud & Data Quality Controls
Several new mechanisms were added to further strengthen response validation and fraud detection:

  • Device mismatch detection to identify inconsistencies between declared and actual device characteristics
  • Time zone mismatch detection to flag potential location discrepancies
  • Copy & paste behaviour tracking in open‑ended responses to detect non-organic input patterns

 

Enhanced IP Intelligence
This enhancement improves detection of unsafe IPs and known bot farms, strengthening overall survey data integrity.
