Six hours in 2017.
Three minutes today.

Measured during election-day surges, when the queue grows fastest.

Your verifiers don’t work harder — they just stop drowning.

Common questions.

No. It does the mechanical work — reading, translating, sorting, locating, grouping — so your volunteers can spend their time on the cases that need their judgment.

Your verifier sees what FieldworkIQ suggested before anything is published. Categories, location, and text can all be changed with one click. If a case is uncertain, it stays in the queue.

No. Setup needs an IT person for a day or two. Day-to-day use is a simple web app. If you’d rather we run it for you, hosted and supported deployments are available.

The mechanical work absorbed everyone. The cases that needed judgment didn’t get it. This is the layer we needed.
