Protection tier

Cadence - balanced fraud defense

Stronger behavioral and content checks for studies where quality and throughput both matter - the default for most research teams.

Best for

Agencies and insights teams running multi-supplier fieldwork with strict client quality SLAs.

Cadence is where most Maxna customers land: Lumen's baseline plus behavioral patterns, open-end signals, tighter geo scrutiny, and supplier visibility - without jumping straight to Aether's deepest quarantine.

Cadence

What's included

Everything in Lumen

Full baseline device, network, and duplicate protection on every entry.

Behavioral analysis

Timing, interaction, and consistency patterns that expose pros and farms.

Open-end quality signals

Flag low-effort and suspicious text before it pollutes analysis and client decks.

Geo & VPN scrutiny

Tighter location and anonymizer detection for geo-sensitive sample plans.

Supplier visibility

Compare pass/fail quality across sources in one view for ops and account teams.

Configurable strictness

Tune thresholds per project without engineering tickets when incidence shifts.

Use cases

Where teams run Cadence

Common fieldwork patterns where this tier earns its keep.

Multi-supplier blends

Normalize integrity across panels so one weak source doesn't define the wave.

Agency client SLAs

Show buyers you blocked fraud in-flight - with reasons, not only after cleaning.

Mixed category books

Run Cadence as the default and reserve Aether for regulated or political work.

Fit

When to choose this tier

Choose Cadence when quality and throughput both matter - especially if you blend suppliers, face client QC reviews, or already know attention checks alone aren't enough.

Lighter option

Lumen

Stay on essential checks if you only need high-throughput baseline protection.

Deeper option

Aether

Step up for healthcare, financial, political, or any study where false completes are unacceptable.
