Our setup costs are 1-time only, then you can engage directly and regularly with any participating worker whenever you need to get answers. Each worker is paid directly to their own phone for licensing the requested data. Thousands or workers can provide data from multiple sites in parallel and the results are available instantly.
The dataset from workers can be benchmarked to whichever social audit standard you use (SMETA, RBA, etc.). You can verify if your last sample-based audit report is reliable or risky.
We deliver data at scale for evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Million Makers will be introduced by a local NGO or cooperative to the worker or farming community.
Subsequently, workers and farmers share an invitation (e.g. via Whatsapp or QR) to peers directly. The ‘network effect’ is a key to scaling the program without intermediaries
You get an aggregated data report of survey responses scored against the ILO indicators for forced labor. The report includes:
1) Geo-location of the respondents to verify that the report generated belongs to this area, region, or factory.
2) Descriptive analysis of the data and diagnostic analysis to demonstrate patterns observed for the responses during the survey period.
Workers are paid directly to the mobile wallet of the mobile phone they used to respond to the survey.
The user of the phone is randomly questioned as to whether they received payment and how much they received.
Million Makers will not use intermediaries or local partners to disburse funds.
Every worker’s SSI is secured on the blockchain. All transactions pertaining to the data between the workers and the businesses licensing reports are also secured on blockchain. These records stipulate who has permissioned whom to access what data and for what purpose.
All survey data is stored on AWS with the highest level of commercially-available security. Response data from each worker is ‘locked’ with the SSI of that worker.
Response data that has been aggregated and processed into a report for the licensing party is transmitted securely so it is available only to those authorized to review it.
Million Makers can be deployed in any country, community, specific geographical location, or industry. It can be configured in any language covered by Google Translate. We work with partners in several countries to expand the program.
There are no risks to workers. They cannot be identified by their responses. They can respond from anywhere during the course of the day.
Each worker owns the data (responses) they provide.
Million Makers licenses a one-time use of data in aggregate from Workers to create a report for the sponsoring business or partner about working conditions.
Million Makers pays workers for a license to use their data to prepare a report.
The workers own their data, the company owns the report, and Million Makers is the honest broker between the parties.
Cost varies on the locations you choose and is determined by two variables:
- The current daily wage of the workers you are targeting.
- Number of workers you want data from.
Using our calculator, we can work out an exact cost. Our cost structure is transparent.
80% of your total budget is to pay workers directly for the data they provide and license to you.
The program is designed to scale at very low cost. The costs are structured to pay workers, not intermediaries. Once a worker is connected to a business, they can be engaged continuously with small payments for incremental additional information.
