FAQ
Clearspeed works wherever organizations need a precise assessment of risk to extend trust at
scale, with clients across insurance and banking, government and defense, and sports integrity.
Clearspeed’s custom AI solution enhances and scales the application of our high-precision
model, delivering consistent, validated risk assessments for customers at any scale. We took
the visual and audio intelligence from our human experts and encoded this in artificial
intelligence to effectively and accurately deliver results at scale. AI is not used to form any
decision on scoring. Read more about Clearspeed’s approach to AI from our CEO Alex Martin.
Clearspeed identifies elevated risk; it does not make decisions, confirm fraud, or replace human
judgment. Our trust insights simply inform the decision process, allowing clients to clear low-risk
more quickly, and focus their resources where potential risk is flagged.
Clearspeed assesses universal vocal characteristics that are present across every language,
geography, and demographic. We assess the risk associated with the information a person
provides, not who they are. No personal identifiers, historical data, or demographic profiles are
used or required. The result is an objective risk indicator that works the same way for everyone
to avoid potential bias.
Clearspeed can be integrated within any system with open API capabilities, meaning it fits into
existing workflows without requiring infrastructure changes. Our team will work with you to
identify the optimal integration point.
Clearspeed does not require external data for its technology to work properly, and that’s exactly
what sets us apart from other risk solutions. We’re a primary measure, not a model, so we don’t
require personally identifiable information (PII), historical data, or other external generalized
data points. Instead we only screen and analyze the real-time response of an individual to a few
simple yes/no questions.
Clearspeed is GDPR-compliant and operating across six continents.
No. Clearspeed requires no PII or personal identifiers to generate a risk indicator, it is
purpose-built to support privacy-first deployment. For more information, visit our Privacy Policy.
Yes. Clearspeed identifies non-human, synthetic, and counterfeit voice responses - including
AI-generated audio. The capability is operationally validated and continues to advance as the
threat evolves.
Unlike polygraphs, Clearspeed does not measure truthfulness or detect deception. Rather, our
approach is objective and unbiased, assessing for indications of potential risk and to what
degree without invasive physical hooks-ups or human intervention or analysis. We help you
determine who should proceed to the next stage of your process, and who should be paused for
further scrutiny. Read more here.
