Higher-quality respondents, finally verifiable, not just claimed.
Enlightn is a research recruitment service built on a unique approach to sampling — AI-powered profiling, match-first activation, and a transparency layer that shows exactly who ends up in your study. Currently delivered as a founder-led service, with the self-serve platform opening later in 2026.
The same suppliers. A smarter order of operations.
Most research recruitment still works the old way: push traffic into a screener, let it filter. 60–70% termination rates. Respondents learning to game screeners. Data you can't fully defend.
Enlightn flips the order. We profile participants using open-ended, AI-assisted questions, translate your brief into a structured targeting spec, rank the pool for fit, and activate only strong matches through permissioned supplier systems. Every outcome is logged — so you get a scorecard that ties spend to outcome, per source.
Across the projects we've run so far, the data consistently points the same way.
The approach produces higher-quality respondents, and it produces the kind of transparency that lets you actually verify the quality claim — instead of taking it on faith.
Good-to-bad quality ratio, vs. benchmark
On the studies we've run, the ratio of good-quality to bad-quality completes from Enlightn-activated respondents has come in at 2.1× that of benchmark supplier traffic on the same studies.
Lower disqualification rate, vs. benchmark
Evidence that our matching technology is identifying the right respondents for the right study — so fewer get terminated and removed once they're in the survey.
Of panelists pass our AI-powered data cleaning
Every participant runs through an AI-powered cleaning layer that checks for genuine engagement and answer quality. Only the ones we're confident in are re-engaged on client studies. We know this approach leaves some false positives on the table — we'd rather be conservative than pad the pool.
Averages across the projects we've run to date. Results vary by study; we share the full per-project picture openly.
The engine is live. The interface is you and me.
The recruitment engine is already live — AI-powered profiling, match-first ranking, transparency analytics — it just doesn't have a self-serve interface yet.
In practice, that makes the process as simple as it gets on your side: share your specs or screening questions, we handle the rest.
I run your study through the engine directly and deliver matched respondents with the activation log. No procurement project, no integration, no form to learn.
The self-serve buyer interface — conversational brief, live fieldwork tracking, exportable scorecard — is coming later in 2026. Early clients are shaping what ships.
Enlightn is for research teams who care about who actually ends up in their studies.
Insights managers, research directors, fieldwork leads — anyone tired of defending data they can't fully see behind. If that's the conversation you want to have, we'll have it honestly.
Built from what I saw, not what I read.
I'm Adrien, a French founder based in Montreal. Five years across insights, innovation, and sampling operations taught me how sampling actually breaks: blind routing, opaque supply chains, fraud that suppliers are economically incentivized to ignore. Enlightn is what I built to fix the part I couldn't stop thinking about.

The fastest way to know if Enlightn works for you is to put it on a brief. Bring one to the call if you have it — or just come talk.
