Dispositions (Informative)

A disposition is the final category DQC assigns to each response — for example Qualified Complete, OSQ, or Duplicate. You do not send dispositions. DQC derives them from the status you send plus the quality signals (device score, data trust score, persona, duplicate flag, and any failures) already collected. This page is a reference so you know how your data maps.

Full taxonomy

DQC uses nine dispositions across three categories. For the complete definitions, see Dispositions.


📌 The decision map

This is how a Decipher respondent's status becomes a DQC disposition:

Decipher statusSignal→ DQC disposition
OverquotaOverquota
Partial (answered ≥1 question, then left)Abandon
Qualifiedpasses all checksQualified Complete
Qualifiedhas one or more failuresFlagged Complete
Terminateddevice score fail (dqcFraud)OSQ
Terminatedpersona failOSQ
Terminateddata trust score failOSQ
Terminatedduplicate (dqcDuplicate)Duplicate
When several signals apply

A single response can trip more than one signal (e.g. a duplicate that also fails the device score). DQC applies a defined priority and stores all failures, so nothing is lost even though the response lands in a single disposition.


How the signals get there

  • Status (Overquota / Qualified / Terminated / Partial) comes from your Decipher survey markers.
  • dqcFraud / dqcDuplicate are computed by DQC from the device/trust/persona/duplicate data the Toolbox sends — see Failures. You can optionally act on them with Termination Scripts.
  • Custom failures you send (honeyPot, trapQuestion, …) feed the ISQ dispositions.

✅ Summary

  • Dispositions are computed by DQC — you don't send them.
  • Your status + quality signals (scores, duplicate, failures) determine the disposition via the map above.
  • All failures are stored even when a response maps to a single disposition.
