Protection tier
Aether - maximum integrity
Deepest multi-layer quarantine for high-stakes research - healthcare, financial, political, and any study where bad data is unacceptable.
Best for
Regulated categories, low-incidence B2B, political polling, and any project where false completes are costlier than terminations.
Aether tightens every Cadence signal and adds deep AI open-end grading, aggressive farm and pro detection, cross-supplier identity linking, and priority calibration when the cost of a bad complete dwarfs the cost of a terminate.
