What these records do not show#

  • Counts are minimums from the verified records available to us; other work in this project may not be represented.
  • The customer's own research results and data quality are not available to us, so no accuracy or research outcome is claimed.
  • Posted location is the city or market named in the task posting, not an independent check of where each worker was.

How to request similar work#

  1. State the session length and audio setup (headphones, quiet room).
  2. Say what each participant submits and how you will review it.
  3. Set one fixed payment per completed session.
