Fresh Eyes: Automatically exclude repeat participants

Image #1

Fresh Eyes introduces built-in participant freshness controls directly in Maze’s panel recruitment flow. When ordering participants, you can now choose whether repeat participants are eligible for your study:

  • Include repeat participants
  • Exclude participants who took studies in the same project
  • Exclude participants who have ever taken a study from the team

Maze automatically enforces these eligibility rules during recruitment, helping ensure every study includes fresh perspectives.

Additional improvements

  • Feasibility estimates update automatically based on the selected filter
  • Repeat participants can be reported directly in the participant reporting flow
  • Participants who are excluded see a neutral eligibility message that does not penalize their account

Why it matters

Fresh Eyes protects the integrity of your research by reducing repeat participant bias. It helps teams recruit with confidence, maintain cleaner data, and spend less time manually managing participants.

Availability

Fresh Eyes is available for Enterprise plans. It currently applies to Maze Panel participants only and does not apply to self-recruited participants.
