Surveys you can actually trust, your way.
Surbee drafts your survey, verifies every response with Cipher, and turns raw data into answers you can query in plain English.
SDK
Use the SDK to plug Cipher into your data pipeline
Cloud
Design, launch, and analyze surveys from your browser on desktop or mobile.
CLI
Pipe responses through Cipher, right from your terminal.
import { Cipher } from '@surbee/cipher'// Configure once, reuse across your pipelineconst cipher = new Cipher({apiKey: process.env.CIPHER_API_KEY,tier: 4,thresholds: { fail: 0.4, review: 0.7 },})// Score an incoming survey responseconst result = await cipher.validate({responses: submission.answers,behavioral: tracker.getMetrics(),})if (result.recommendation === 'keep') {await db.responses.save(submission)} else {await db.responses.flag(submission, result.checks)}console.log(result.score) // 0.94
Who Surbee is for
Companies
Run customer, employee, and market surveys, and trust that every answer came from a real person.
Universities
Catch bots, AI-written answers, and duplicate submissions, so research and exam-style surveys stay honest.
Students
Spin up a survey, collect clean responses, and get a clear readout, fast enough for end-of-term work.
Developers
Add Surbee surveys and response checks to your own product with a few lines of the SDK.
Every response, checked
Cipher flags bots, VPNs, AI text, and rushed or copy-pasted answers before they reach your data.
Ask your data anything
Ask what happened in plain English and get an answer that cites the responses behind it.
Modern survey work, without the busywork
Ship surveys faster
Draft, pilot, edit, and launch surveys in hours, not weeks. Branching, validation, and accessibility are all handled for you, so you can focus on the actual research question.
Reach more of the right people
Reach harder-to-find segments through integrated panels. Quotas and screeners are enforced on our side, and Cipher protects the funnel from fraud.
Automate readouts and reports
Generate executive summaries, cross-tabs, and stakeholder readouts straight from your data. No manual analysis required.
Modernize legacy surveys
Rebuild legacy questionnaires for smart branching, accessibility, and great mobile rendering, without breaking comparability with prior waves.
Clean up data debt
Run Cipher retroactively across historical waves to flag and quarantine fraudulent responses, so you can trust your time series again.
Triage data-quality issues
Surbee analyzes incoming responses in real time, flags anomalies, and quarantines suspect records before they pollute your data. Every decision is auditable.
“Surbee is the only research platform that takes data quality seriously enough to ship it as its own engine. Cipher caught fraudulent panel responses our internal QA had been missing for two years.”
“Surbee is the only platform that lets us run, verify, and analyze long-term panel studies at scale, without three vendors and a brittle pipeline duct-taping it together.”
"Cipher rejects 31% of submissions in our high-incentive studies. Our clients now trust the data we deliver, because we can prove it."
Quality that compounds
Every flagged bot pattern, every refined check, every published methodology note. Cipher gets sharper for every team that uses it, and our findings are open to the community.
Plays well with your stack
Native integrations with Slack, Notion, and Google Sheets. Surbee fits cleanly into your enterprise governance and your preferred AI providers.
Enterprise-grade security and control
Control every layer of your stack with fine-grained access controls, model-agnostic architecture, and flexible hosted, private-cloud, or on-prem deployment. Built for healthcare, finance, and government workflows.
Teams love Surbee
Join thousands of teams shipping findings they can stand behind
The Surbee SDK is the most complete research SDK I've worked with. Cipher checks, panel orchestration, and Infer all in one place. The verification engine alone is worth the integration.
Surbee's Cipher engine is doing what every other survey platform refuses to do: actually rejecting bad responses at intake.
This is what trustworthy research infrastructure looks like. Not a UI for forms, but an engine for the data underneath.
At this point there's no good reason to roll your own integrity stack when Cipher exposes the same checks via SDK that the hosted product runs on.
This is where survey infrastructure gets interesting.
Surbee's data-quality benchmarks are quietly the most rigorous in the industry. They're benchmarking against real panels, not toy datasets, and publishing the methodology.
I just don't get why more people aren't talking about Cipher.
Reposting till methodology folks wake up.
I love Surbee because it's the first platform that takes response quality seriously enough to make it a first-class feature. The configurability matters, since every team's quality bar is different. This is the future of survey platforms.
Surbee handles about 80% of our research workflow. Survey drafting, response screening, and the first analytical pass. Then I switch to my usual stats tools for the deep dive.
Saves a ridiculous amount of time and panel spend on the right Cipher tier.
FAQ
Surbee is a research platform for the modern survey stack. We draft surveys from plain-language briefs, screen every response with Cipher, and let you ask questions about the resulting data in natural language. Our work sits at the intersection of methodology, ML, and data infrastructure.
Traditional survey platforms ship form builders. Surbee ships the research layer too. Where Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey hand you a UI, Surbee drafts the survey from a brief, screens every response through Cipher, and turns the data into findings you can query in plain English. It's the methodology, not just the form.
Yes. Import historical responses, codebooks, and panel data in standard formats. Cipher can run retroactively across historical waves to flag and quarantine fraudulent records, so you can trust your time series again. Infer treats imported and native data the same way.
Surbee runs hosted, in your private cloud, or fully on-prem, so your respondents' data never has to leave your control. Responses can be encrypted at rest with customer-managed keys, PII is segregated by design, and every Cipher decision is auditable end to end. Built for healthcare, finance, and government workflows.
Insights and CX teams running tracking studies. Market research firms running panels at scale. Academic and policy researchers running long-term studies. Product teams running continuous customer research where the quality of every response matters.
