Why it's Transactional Systems for Ephemeral Tasks, don't you know? No but same here. The other pages lead to more confusion.

My favourite part is the "our customers" section [0], starting with

> Ripe with fraud, labor exploitation, political polling manipulation

I am not sure if they want to convey what I think I am reading or not.

Buyer A is presented with the following rate card:

< 10min targeting gen pop: $3 10 <= 15min targeting gen pop: $5

Of course they'll bid saying their 14 min survey only takes 9 min to complete. Buyers try to cheat pricing strategies of exchanges just as much as respondents try to cheat buyers on survey platforms. Both parties can't be trusted and have adverse incentives.

Perhaps they're targeting a super specific niche. Like somebody who sees WXET Ephemereal and yelps in triumph "that's my quant!".

It smells like they don't know what they're doing. Had a lol at the mission page accidentally implying their customers are unethical though:

> Our Customers

> Ripe with fraud, labor exploitation, political polling manipulation; our customers demand the best tools and security ...

At least they’re ripe! I hate unripe customers, rife with astringency, sharp vegetal notes, and an unpleasant, unyielding texture.
