Compliance and verification

Once your study is active, you track participant progress, verify milestone submissions, and manage payout eligibility from your compliance view.

Tracking participant compliance

Once your study is active, the compliance view shows each enrolled participant's progress:

  • Compliance percentage (verified milestones / total milestones)
  • Milestone breakdown (completed, pending, submitted, overdue, missed)
  • Current study week

Verifying milestones

The pending verifications queue shows all milestones that participants have submitted and are awaiting your review. For each submission:

  • Review the participant's submission
  • Click "Verify" to confirm the milestone is complete
  • Click "Reject" to return it to the participant with a reason

You are expected to process milestone verifications within 5 business days of submission, as specified in the Experimenter Study Agreement.

Flagging violations

If a participant violates the study protocol, you can flag a violation from the compliance view. This:

  • Records the violation reason
  • Disqualifies the participant from payout regardless of compliance score
  • Notifies the participant

The participant has 7 days to raise a dispute if they believe the flag is unfair.
