Most research projects targeting Southern African populations run into the same three problems:

1. Participant quality is a gamble.

You post on social media, get 500 responses, and 400 are bots or people clicking through randomly. No verification, no accountability.

2. Fair pay is an afterthought.

The standard $0.50/response rate set by global platforms doesn't account for local cost of living or the effort involved. Low pay = low-effort responses.

3. Demographics are a black box.

You need 25-34 year old professionals in Gaborone. You get a spreadsheet labeled "Southern Africa" with zero granularity.

We built PulaIndex to solve all three. Every participant is vetted. Minimum hourly rate is $6/hr. You target by real demographics and only pay for approved submissions.
