After a completed interview, Proust evaluates the conversation: was it genuine, on-topic, with at least one real specific? Passing conversations earn the reward; low-effort, off-topic, or automated ones don’t — and you’re never billed for them either. The gate protects your budget and your data at once.
Venue rewards issue a one-time counter code — a human redeems it, one per visit.
Cash rewards pay out digitally; participants claim with an email or phone number, which stays with Proust and is never shown to you.
One rewarded interview per person per venue per day, enforced automatically.
