Why Surdatics

Answers worth acting on, from people worth hearing.

A form tool gives you a form. Surdatics also matches you with verified people, checks they are real, rewards them and anchors every answer on the blockchain.

  • Real people, Verified by Surdatics.

    Rewards go only to verified people. New respondents verify once with Surdatics Verify: one real person, one account, no ID card and no photo kept.

    Your results show how many answers came from verified people.Your privacy

  • Reach people others can’t.

    Studies in 27 languages, from Igbo, Hausa and Swahili to Arabic, Hindi and Chinese, answered online or offline.

    Offline, people need no signal and no phone of their own.

  • Rewarded for every approved answer.

    Each approved answer earns a reward in the person’s Surdatics wallet, and people earn again when their data is resold.

    Payouts open country by country, starting in Nigeria.

  • Provenance on the blockchain.

    Every answer is hashed the moment it arrives and anchored on the blockchain, so no one can change it unnoticed, not even us. Every figure in a Surdatics Report opens the table behind it.

How it works

From a question to a report you can prove, in three steps.

  1. Step 1: Say what you want to find out.

    Describe your question in a sentence or two. Surdatics AI drafts the study, and you edit every word.

    • Write in your language; people answer in theirs
    • Or start from a template, or questions you already have
    The study builder asks “What do you want to find out?”: describe it in a sentence or two and Surdatics AI drafts the questions, written in the language you choose.

  2. Step 2: Reach the right people.

    Choose who you need and see how many verified people match before you pay. Or share the study with your own people.

    • Only people Verified by Surdatics earn rewards, after you approve each answer
    • Online, on video, or offline
    Surdatics Verify, as a new respondent sees it: one real person, one account. No ID card, no name, and no photo kept.

  3. Step 3: Watch the answers arrive. Get the report.

    Results update as answers are approved. Your Surdatics Report is written from the data, and every figure in it is computed from the answers.

    • Ask your data questions in plain words
    • Export to CSV, Stata or SPSS, or list the dataset for sale

Industry commentary

Development monitoring cannot work around country systems forever

A new development-effectiveness report points to a persistent gap between commitments to country ownership and the information used to manage aid. Research teams should treat that gap as a question about who can inspect, challenge and use the evidence.

From our own data

Storage and bad roads stand out in a survey on food waste in Nigeria

56.8% of respondents who answered the storage-access question said they lacked access to proper storage or cold rooms. Respondents also frequently selected bad roads as a transport challenge and better storage as a way to reduce waste.

What citizens’ priorities should change in development research

Afrobarometer’s survey puts everyday service and livelihood concerns beside the agendas of development-cooperation experts. The useful lesson is not to discard long-term reform, but to test whether it answers the problems citizens actually name.

Questions

What teams ask before they start.

Something else? Ask us, or ask Surdatics AI, our AI assistant, from the button in the corner.

What does it cost?
A monthly plan for the tools, from free, and a reward budget you set when people answer your study. You see the full total before you pay anything. See plans and prices.
How do you know each person is real?
Only verified people earn rewards. New respondents verify once with Surdatics Verify: one real person, one account, no ID card and no photo kept. Your results show how many answers came from verified people.
Who checks the quality of the answers?
Your team approves each answer before it earns a reward. If a rejected answer is disputed, validators decide: verified people who are not the researcher, who vote anonymously and are rewarded for each review. Datasets collected here carry a data quality score on the Surdatics Data Marketplace.
How does the blockchain prove the data?
The moment an answer arrives, it gets a SHA-256 hash: a unique code computed from the answer. Change one character and the hash no longer matches. Every hour, the new hashes are anchored on the Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain, where nobody, not even Surdatics, can change them. Only the hash goes on the blockchain, never the answer or anyone's details. Anyone can check an answer or a whole study in seconds at Verify on the blockchain. If anything changed, the check fails.
Which languages can people answer in?
27 languages, from Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Swahili and Amharic to French, Arabic, Hindi and Chinese. You write in your own language, and your team checks every translated line before launch.
Can we collect where there is no internet?
Yes. Your field team collects offline on Android phones, and the answers arrive when the phone is back in signal. Offline collection comes with the Researcher plan and above.
How are respondents rewarded?
They earn a reward in SURDA, in their Surdatics wallet, once your team approves their answer, and a share when their data is resold. Cashing out opens country by country.
Who owns the data, and what do we see about people?
You own the dataset your study produces. Everyone who answers online gives consent first, and your team sees each person only as a wallet address, never a name, email or phone number. Our data ethics.
How quickly can we start?
