The Challenge
An enterprise software firm needed 1,800 active developers and DevOps leads segmented by programming language (Python, Go, Rust), cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure), and DevOps toolchain across UK, US, Germany, India, and Australia. Active code contribution required as a qualification criterion.
Our Approach
GitHub authentication check to verify active developer status via public contribution activity. LinkedIn screening for DevOps role confirmation. SIDAC fraud detection with NLP open-end scoring. API usability session hosting for qualitative component.
Results
1,800 completes. 5 markets. 0.05% fraud flag rate — lowest recorded on the Prolific Research platform. Full segmentation by language, cloud, and toolchain delivered.
Client Outcome
Python + AWS emerged as the dominant combination (44% of respondents). Study directly informed the client's SDK development priority roadmap for 2026.
