Microfixx Research Participation

Help Improve AI Investigations

Participate in structured studies that help us understand how people evaluate technical evidence and AI-generated analysis. Studies are voluntary, time-limited, and separate from employment or product membership.

Applying does not create an employment, contractor, contributor, or customer relationship with Microfixx. Participation is voluntary. Study-specific eligibility, time requirements, data use, and compensation — if any — are disclosed before participation.

Microfixx conducts structured research to understand how people interpret technical evidence, evaluate competing explanations, and use AI-assisted investigation tools. From time to time, we invite qualified volunteers to participate in short, controlled studies.
