✅ Passed – The participant successfully passed all data quality checks at the level specified in the Sentry Template.

❌ Failed – Sentry flags two categories of low-quality data:

1. Behavioral Fails (Engagement & Response Quality)
2. Blocked/Tech Blocks (Security & Fraud Prevention)

1. Behavioral Fails

• Inattention – Lack of attention or poor language comprehension.
• Yea-saying – Dishonesty; selecting “yes” for questions where the correct answer cannot be “yes.”
• Lacking Domain Expertise – Failed domain-specific validation (for B2B screening templates).
• Problematic Open End – Provided low-quality or irrelevant responses in open-ended questions.
  • Core Evaluation Criteria:
    • Relevance: Does the response answer the question asked?
    • Completeness: Does the respondent address all parts of the prompt?
    • Clarity & Coherence: Is it written in a way that is understandable?
    • Detail: Does the respondent provide sufficient explanation or descriptive elements?

2. Blocked/Tech Blocks

• Duplicate IP – Detected duplicate entries based on IP address or respondent ID.
• Digit-Print Device Fingerprinting – Respondent has a history of low-quality responses in Sentry.
• Translation Detection – Identified translation software usage to translate survey questions.
• reCAPTCHA – Triggered bot detection measures.
• Location Blocked – Access restricted due to geo-location rules.
• Restricted Device Type – User attempted to access the survey on a disallowed device type (e.g., desktop-only requirement).
• Fraud – Bad Activity – Detected high-risk behavior patterns, including:
  • Excessive tabbing away from the Sentry environment.
  • Copy-pasting answers.
  • Inhuman typing speeds or unnatural input patterns.
  • Multiple highlighted questions, suggesting use of automated response tools or specialized software.
  • Use of known fraudulent applications
