What is AydaTrust?

AydaTrust is a smart anti-fraud solution designed for anyone who pays research participants. Powered by machine learning, it analyses real-time behavioural and transaction data to detect fraudulent and professional participants before they ever enter your study; helping you safeguard your data and incentives from the start.

What is a Trust Score?

A Trust Score is AydaTrust’s real-time measure of a participant’s trustworthiness. Scores are calculated automatically based on verified payment activity and behavioural patterns, helping you make confident decisions.

How are Trust Scores communicated?

Participant Trust Scores use a colour-coded traffic light system to indicate trustworthiness:

  • Green indicates an individual with no or very minor discrepancies in their data, indicating a high likelihood that they are not fraudulent or a professional participant.
  • Amber indicates that an individual has some discrepancies in their data, indicating a moderate likelihood that they are a professional or fraudulent participant.
  • Red indicates that an individual has significant discrepancies in their data, indicating a high likelihood that they are a professional or fraudulent participant.
How do I generate Trust Scores?

Trust Scores are automatically generated when you upload participant data to Ayda, no extra steps needed!
Full details, including how scores are calculated and applied, are available in your reports

How frequently is the TrustScore updated?

Trust Scores are calculated in real time across the entire Ayda database. This ensures that each participant’s score reflects the most up-to-date information available.

When can I use Trust Scores?

Trust Scores are available at all times, so you can refer to them whenever you wish.
We recommend using them before inviting participants to a research study, to ensure high quality data from the start.

Is AydaTrust secure and GDPR compliant?
