Practical perspectives for responsible sample delivery.

Guidance drawn from WDL’s sample-supply model, quality framework and RFQ workflow.

How WDL approaches multi-source sample

A transparent operating view of direct assets, owned recruitment and vetted partner supply.

Multi-source sample can combine direct audience assets, owned recruitment and approved third-party supply. The composition should follow the market, incidence, audience and project specification—not a universal allocation rule.

WDL separates source description from quality responsibility. Partner reach is not relabeled as proprietary panel, and all source types remain subject to project monitoring and reconciliation.

Why sample-source transparency matters

What buyers should understand when feasibility depends on more than one source.

A buyer should be able to understand whether access is direct, recruited through managed channels or extended through a supply partner. That context affects feasibility, privacy roles, quality review and client expectations.

Transparency does not require publishing supplier names, commercial rates or internal allocation. It requires an accurate description of the sourcing model and the ability to answer reasonable due-diligence questions.

Our approach to sample quality

The six WDL Shield checkpoints and the project-lifecycle decisions around them.

The WDL Shield evaluates identity, device, location, behavior, response quality and human-review context. The checkpoints are inputs to operational decisions, not a zero-fraud guarantee.

Before-field setup, during-field monitoring and after-field reconciliation connect the quality framework to the project lifecycle.

What helps us assess sample feasibility

The audience, market, incidence, timing and survey details that support a useful RFQ review.

Useful feasibility begins with the target audience and markets. Sample size, expected incidence, length of interview, quotas, devices and timing improve the review but may remain unknown at the first RFQ stage.

A practical response distinguishes what can be assessed from what requires clarification, supplier review or a controlled launch.
