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.

Response mismatch

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.”

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.

01

Feedback lag

An error caught on Monday gets corrected the following week. In a short field period, that’s most of the wave.

02

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.

03

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.

01

Upload recordings

Drop in call batches, or have us pull them straight from your CATI system. Each file is validated and queued automatically.

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.

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.

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.

Falsification signal

The interviewer suggested the answer and keyed it, but the respondent never agreed to it anywhere in the segment.

“…so I’ll put you down as ‘very likely’, alright?”

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.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I still need my QC team?
Yes. The platform is built around them. AI surfaces, humans decide; every critical flag requires a human verdict before a call is closed.
How fast is feedback after a call is uploaded?
Minutes per call for analysis, and findings appear in the review queue the same day, so interviewers can be corrected before the next shift.
How long until the flagging matches our criteria?
Initial calibration takes days; then every verdict your team gives keeps tuning your account’s criteria. It’s tuned to minimize false alarms so your team isn’t dismissing noise. More on accuracy →
Who hears our audio?
Audio is analyzed by AI providers under enterprise agreements that bar training on your data and require deletion from their systems, typically within 30 days (full list shared on request). Raw audio can also be auto-deleted from VeriCATI days after processing. See Security & data.
Can you pull recordings from our dialer / telephony system?
Batch upload works out of the box; automated pulls from your recording storage are set up during onboarding.
What does my team have to change?
Your protocol stays as-is. Reviewers learn the portal in about an hour; the workflow change is reviewing findings instead of sampling recordings.
How is it priced?
Per processed call, scaled to volume. Demos include a quote for your call volume.
What languages do you support?
English and Romanian today; additional languages on request.
