Verdika
Proof that every response came from a real person.
Verified as a living human being. Counted once. Provable long afterwards.
Where Verdika is used today
Three jobs, running now.
Each is licensed on its own, and each has its own buyer.
Every voter is verified before a vote is cast, so nobody votes twice. Members take part from home or abroad, the count finishes the moment voting closes, and you keep a record showing how many distinct real people voted.
Choices stay secret. The record proves that a verified person voted. It does not show what they chose.
See Verdika Ballot →Who it is for
- Professional bodies in law, medicine, engineering and accountancy
- Cooperatives and savings societies
- Trade unions and staff associations
- Chambers of commerce and trade groups
- Universities and colleges
- Political parties
- Government bodies running board or staff elections
Each person counts once, so no organised group can flood a consultation under many names. Views arrive from everyone affected rather than only those who could reach a hall on a weekday, and the participation report writes itself.
People can speak freely. You can prove how many distinct real people responded without exposing who said what.
See Verdika Consult →Who it is for
- National and regional government
- Assemblies and committees running public hearings
- Regulators consulting on tariffs, standards and licensing
- Ministries and national agencies
- Commissions and independent offices
- Development authorities and project sponsors
Every contributor is verified, so a rating cannot be inflated by a campaign, an automated account or one determined group with many phones. The result means something when it is quoted.
Contributors stay anonymous. Verified as real, and never identified by what they said. That is what makes people willing to be honest about a service they depend on.

- Media houses and publishers
- Funders and development agencies measuring a programme
- Research institutions and think tanks
- Regulators and ombudsman offices
- Government measuring how citizens experience a service
The technology
Verdika answers one question.
Is this a real, living person, and have we seen them before?
What makes this different
This is not an identity check.
An identity check asks one question about one person, at one moment, for one business. Is this who they say they are? The answer opens a gate and is thrown away a second later.
Verdika asks a different question about a whole group, and the answer has to survive. Was every single response a different real person? Prove it months later, to somebody who very much wants it to be false.
One is a gate. The other is evidence.
Verified and anonymous at once
We prove a real person took part. We do not reveal what they chose. Both facts are provable, and neither can be joined to expose an individual.
Built to be challenged
The record is made for the day somebody disputes the result, not for an internal dashboard. It is meant to be read by an opponent.
A refusal you can defend
When somebody is turned away, there is a reason, a human review and an appeal. Refusing the wrong person is the risk that matters, and it is handled.
Where else it applies
Everything that has to count once.
Different names, one problem. Each of these is worthless the moment one person can be two.
A vote
An election is void if one member votes twice.
A response
A consultation proves nothing if one group answered a thousand times.
A rating
A score means nothing if one person wrote fifty of them.
A signature
A petition is dismissed once the names cannot be shown to be real.
An entry
A public vote or award is destroyed once people realise it can be gamed.
A claim
A payment meant for one household, reaching one household.
A confirmation
Proof a person is alive and present before a payment continues.
A registration
A member, a beneficiary or a participant, appearing once on the list.
Wherever one real person must count once, and somebody has a reason to game it, Verdika is the proof.
Gaming these was always possible. It was simply expensive. Filling a hall took money. Writing ten thousand submissions took a team of people. That expense is what stopped most people bothering.
It has collapsed. A convincing face costs nothing to generate. A believable submission costs nothing to write. Ten thousand of them cost nothing.
Every one of these is more exposed this year than it was last year.
Verdika does not decide anything. It proves who took part, and hands you the record.
It does not weight opinions, recommend outcomes, rank anyone or replace your officers' judgment.
The decision remains entirely yours.
