The Challenge

Manual Validation Does Not Scale

Reward campaigns generate massive volumes of entries. Human review teams are slow, expensive, inconsistent, and easily fooled by fraud.

Scale Is Impossible

A team of 5 cannot review 300,000 recipe submissions or 50,000 receipt uploads in a campaign window. Entries pile up, deadlines slip, winners are delayed.

Fraud Slips Through

Edited receipts, photoshopped prices, duplicate submissions, and junk entries all pass manual review. Human reviewers miss subtle tampering that costs brands real money.

Cost Spirals Up

Hiring temporary reviewers for every campaign is expensive. A large promotion can cost more in manual validation than in prize money.

Inconsistent Decisions

Different reviewers apply different standards. Entry #1,000 gets scrutinized differently from entry #250,000. There is no audit trail, no standardized scoring.

How It Works

From Submission to Winner in Five Steps

01

Entry Submitted

User uploads a purchase receipt or submits a creative entry through the campaign portal in any format - photo, video, audio, or text.

02

AI Validates

Dual-engine processing extracts data from receipts (OCR + intelligent reconciliation) or analyses multimodal entries for relevance and completeness.

03

Rules Checked

Validates against campaign rules: correct product purchased, minimum spend met, valid date range, entry criteria satisfied, and no rule violations.

04

Scored and Ranked

Each entry is scored on relevance, quality, completeness, and creativity with transparent reasoning. Invalid and junk submissions are auto-disqualified.

05

Winners Selected

An auditable randomizer selects winners fairly from all qualifying, scored entries. Complete log of qualification criteria and random seed generation.

Capabilities

What Gets Automated

OCR Receipt Extraction

Dual-engine processing extracts store name, date, line items with prices, total amount, and currency from paper receipts, digital receipts, and PDFs.

Multimodal Entry Analysis

Analyses photos, videos, audio recordings, and text entries. Extracts structured data like ingredients, instructions, and descriptions for scoring.

Tamper Detection

Detects edited prices, mismatched fonts, inconsistent pixel density, and cut-and-paste artifacts in receipt images with high accuracy.

Duplicate Detection

Catches the same receipt submitted multiple times, even with slight cropping, angle changes, or re-photographing from a screen.

Rule Enforcement

Validates against plain-English campaign rules: product requirements, minimum spend, date ranges, store restrictions, and entry criteria.

Quality Scoring

Scores each entry on relevance, quality, completeness, and creativity with transparent reasoning and a composite score for ranking.

Fair Randomization

Auditable winner selection from qualified entries with complete logging of qualification criteria, scoring, and random seed generation.

Campaign Reporting

Real-time dashboards showing entry volumes, validation rates, fraud detection stats, score distributions, and winner selection audit trails.

What Gets Detected

Edited Receipts

Mismatched fonts, inconsistent pixel density, and cut-and-paste artifacts in price fields and line items.

Duplicate Submissions

Same receipt or entry submitted multiple times, even with slight cropping, angle changes, or re-photographing.

Screenshot Fraud

Receipts that are screenshots of photos rather than original captures, detected through metadata and image analysis.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of receipts can it process?

Paper receipts, digital/e-receipts, thermal prints, and PDFs. Users can upload photos taken at any angle. The dual-engine OCR handles low-quality images, partial occlusion, and faded thermal prints.

How does it handle entries that are unclear or borderline?

The system returns a MAYBE verdict with detailed reasoning in plain English. These entries are flagged for optional human review rather than auto-rejected, so legitimate participants are not unfairly excluded.

What formats are supported for competition entries?

Photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC), videos (MP4, MOV), audio recordings (MP3, WAV, M4A), and text entries. The AI adapts its validation approach based on the format, analyzing visual content, transcribing audio, and evaluating text entries differently.

Can campaign rules be changed mid-campaign?

Yes. Rules are defined in plain English and can be updated at any time. Changes apply to new submissions going forward. Previously validated entries retain their original verdicts.

How is winner selection kept fair?

The randomizer operates only on entries that passed validation and met the scoring threshold. The selection is auditable, with a complete log of which entries qualified and how the random seed was generated.

What scale has this been tested at?

The system has processed over 3 lakh entries in a single campaign for a leading FMCG brand, and has validated tens of thousands of receipts for a major chocolate brand's promotion. It scales horizontally with demand.

Does it replace human reviewers entirely?

For the vast majority of entries, yes. Typically 95%+ of entries are auto-decided as VALID or INVALID. The remaining borderline cases (MAYBE verdicts) can be routed to a small human review team, reducing headcount from dozens to 1-2 reviewers.
