10 / Sample Sources

Different studies require different sources.

WDL brings direct audience access, owned recruitment and vetted partner supply together under one managed quality framework.

Different Sources. One Quality Standard.

Supply model

Three routes into one managed delivery framework.

WDL does not rely on one opaque source. The sourcing mix is selected around the audience, market, incidence and project requirements.

01 / Direct audience access

Participant relationships begin in respondent-facing environments.

Direct audience access can include participant registration, profile-based matching, reward-based engagement and survey participation environments.

02 / Owned recruitment channels

Recruitment infrastructure expands access before qualification.

Publisher traffic, offerwalls, survey walls, digital acquisition and web or mobile campaigns can support access to potential research participants.

Recruitment infrastructure is not the same as a completed proprietary panel. Eligibility, project requirements and quality controls still apply before traffic is accepted into a study.

03 / Vetted partner supply

Approved partners extend market and audience feasibility.

Regional sample providers, specialist panels, B2B sources and low-incidence suppliers can extend coverage when direct access is not sufficient.

Partner supply is not represented as proprietary WDL panel. Sources remain subject to supplier vetting, project suitability and quality monitoring.
