Participation is voluntary. Evidence has rules.

Eligibility

The founding panel is limited to adults 18 or older. Participants must answer eligibility questions truthfully and may maintain only one pilot entry and panel profile. Current residence—not nationality—determines the U.S. or Philippine resident frame.

Voluntary participation

You may skip an optional question, leave a study, withdraw from future participation, or request deletion review. A study may explain when an answer is required for scientific validity before you choose whether to continue.

Response integrity

Automated or duplicate responses, coordinated manipulation, misrepresented eligibility, reward farming, or attempts to compromise a survey may be rejected. Quality rules are defined before results are evaluated and material exclusions remain auditable.

Credits and incentives

Pulse Credits are experimental, have no cash value, cannot be transferred, and are not a payment instrument. No participant payment program is active.

Publication

Individual identities are not published with answers. Live participation totals are labeled unweighted and nonrepresentative. Population claims require approved sampling, quality, weighting, uncertainty, and publication controls.
