AI quality control for CATI surveys
CATI interviewer feedback in minutes, not next week.
VeriCATI listens to every telephone interview, flags critical issues and quality warnings, and puts them in front of your QC team the same day, so interviewers fix mistakes before the next shift, while the field is still open.
Q12 · Monthly household income
Interviewer #14 · Call 0934 · 12:34
The bracket recorded in the data file doesn't match the income the respondent stated aloud.
Respondent said
“…about four and a half thousand a month.”
Recorded in data file
Bracket 2 · 2,000–3,000
Your reviewer decides
In production pilots with established CATI agencies in Europe and North America. Demos run on your own surveys: we calibrate to your protocol and process a batch of your real calls.
The cost of waiting
The CATI quality control report arrives a week after the damage is done.
Manual interviewer monitoring means sampling a fraction of telephone interviews, days after they happened. By the time feedback reaches an interviewer, the same mistake has been repeated across hundreds of completes.
Feedback lag
An error caught on Monday gets corrected the following week. In a short field period, that’s most of the wave.
Volume swings
Survey volume swings hard from one month to the next. Staffing QC for the peaks leaves reviewers idle between waves; staffing for the average means coverage slips exactly when a big wave lands.
Inconsistent review
Different reviewers, different days, different standards. The same call can pass one desk and fail another.
How it works
The whole CATI QC loop, from upload to interviewer feedback.
Upload recordings
Drop in call batches, or have us pull them straight from your CATI system. Each file is validated and queued automatically.

AI analysis in minutes
Every call is transcribed and evaluated against your survey protocol: skipped questions, answers compared against your data file, falsification signals, and delivery-quality warnings.

Quality feedback, week of field
Hi, a few items from your recent calls to review:
- Q12 (Call 0934): income recorded didn't match the spoken answer, confirm the bracket before moving on.
- Q31 (Call 0934): re-read the scale after four statements so ratings stay anchored.
The system tunes to you
Every confirm and dismiss verdict feeds back into your account’s flagging criteria, so false alarms drop steadily over your first reviewed batches.
False-alarm rate
Dropping as your verdicts come in
Per-call analysis takes minutes. Calibrating to your protocols takes days, not a months-long integration project.
The platform
Built for QC teams, not just dashboards.
VeriCATI is a working review tool your QC team lives in, not a black box that emails you a score.

Review queue with verdicts
Confirm, dismiss, or reclassify every AI finding. Calls can’t be marked reviewed until every critical flag has a human decision.
Response verification
AI-extracted answers compared against what the interviewer recorded in the data file, mismatches flagged per question.
Interviewer stats per survey
Calls, critical-issue rates, and review counts per interviewer, so outliers and struggling new hires surface at a glance.

One-click interviewer feedback
Pre-drafted emails summarizing each interviewer’s confirmed errors, ready to send.
Fix the data file
Export confirmed response mismatches to correct wrongly recorded answers, and push findings into your evaluation and payment workflows.
Your reviewers, faster
Review findings, not recordings.
Manual QC means listening to whole calls to find the one moment that matters. VeriCATI hands your reviewers the moment, with the reason it was flagged, so a decision takes seconds instead of twenty minutes.
Skip to the flagged second
Every finding deep-links to the exact moment, so there is no scrubbing through a 20-minute recording.
Decide on findings, not full calls
Reviewers confirm or dismiss a short list of flags instead of re-listening to interviews end to end.
Same team, more interviews verified
Throughput stops being capped by listening time, so you can cover far more of the field, or the same volume far faster.
Why VeriCATI
The same standard on call 1 and call 10,000.
AI review doesn’t get tired on Friday afternoon, doesn’t drift between reviewers, and doesn’t resign. Every telephone survey call is evaluated against the same protocol, every time, and your QC coverage stops depending on hiring and retention.
No fatigue drift
The standard on a Friday afternoon is the standard on a Monday morning.
No reviewer-to-reviewer variance
Every call is judged against the same protocol, not a particular desk’s read of it.
No turnover risk
Your QC coverage stops depending on hiring and retention.
And because review is automated, covering 100% of calls typically costs less than manually reviewing a sample, with per-call pricing that drops as your volume grows.
A real finding
What a finding actually looks like.
Falsification signals are tuned for precision: a flag means “listen to this,” never an automatic accusation. No finding stands without a human verdict.
Flagged in minutes, not found by luck.
The keyed answers and the audio are compared before anything is flagged.
Q9 · Likelihood to recommend
Interviewer #07 · Call 1126 · 11:48
The interviewer suggested the answer and keyed it, but the respondent never agreed to it anywhere in the segment.
Interviewer said
“…so I’ll put you down as ‘very likely’, alright?”
Recorded without confirmation
Very likely
Verdict pending · your reviewer decides
Your reviewer makes the call. Nothing closes without a human verdict.
Your reviewers stay in charge of every decision. VeriCATI works the unsampled majority of calls they’d never have time to reach.
Security & data
Your clients’ data, defensible.
Research agencies process their clients’ data, so your vendors have to survive your clients’ due diligence. VeriCATI is built for that.
- Your data trains only your models
- Nothing you upload trains public or shared models. Enterprise agreements with our AI providers bar training on your data and require deletion from their systems, typically within 30 days. Your recordings and your team’s verdicts tune models used only on your own surveys.
- Raw-data deletion
- Raw recordings can be automatically deleted a set number of days after processing, keeping only the findings and reports.
- Per-account isolation
- Your data is scoped to your account; no cross-customer access.
- NDA before any data moves
- We sign an NDA before processing your first batch, including for demos. The list of AI providers that process audio and transcripts is shared on request.
