CAPABILITIES

Research Tools Designed For Academic Discovery

Truly Random Global Sampling

Give respondents anywhere in the world with web access the ability to randomly, voluntarily, safely, and anonymously share their views, through Random Domain Intercept Technology (RDIT), which randomly samples internet-using populations.

Hard-to-Reach Population Research

Reach communities typically excluded from research (those behind censorship, government firewalls, ad-blockers, or anti-virus software) and study audiences traditional data collection leaves out.

Real-Time Sentiment Tracking

Detect early indicators as events unfold by monitoring in-the-moment sentiment or tracking it over time.

Geographic Targeting

Conduct research at the country, regional, or city level. RIWI supports targeted research approaches for general population studies or quota-specific samples.

Data Integrity

Proactively protect your research with bot and fraudulent respondent detection. Avoid skewing your data with biometric verification and peer-reviewed methodologies.

Flexible Delivery

RIWI offers a variety of solutions ranging from self-service, to optimization support, and comprehensive implementation.

By Academics, For Academics

Founded by Neil Seeman, Senior Fellow at the University of Toronto, RIWI’s first product was developed to predict Black Swan events in real-time. RIWI’s pioneer product was initially used to address the Ontario government’s need for tracking reliable and realistic responses to the H1N1 pandemic. Now, RIWI is a leading provider of accurate and real-time global consumer and citizen sentiment data. RIWI methodology including RDIT have been published in top journals across a variety of disciplines.

RIWI helps ensure that researchers’ objectives are not limited by the answers available using traditional survey technology. RIWI can collect opinion and sentiment data in hard-to-reach geographies and censored areas. RIWI reaches more countries and markets than any other firm. We break through the noise to find the truth about what people really think, want for themselves, and observe in the world around them. We do this by reaching the most diverse audiences and eliciting the least censored opinions.

RIWI’s methodology has been proven and tested by leading institutions such as Harvard University, the University of Toronto, and Boston University.
