Why You Should Choose a Polygraph Company with Quality Control
A polygraph exam is more than wires and sensors—it’s a high-stakes truth verification tool. Whether it’s used in legal defense, family disputes, or pre-employment screening, the accuracy and credibility of the results are critical.
That’s why it’s essential to choose a polygraph company that has a formal quality control process in place.
At Spectrum Polygraph Services, every test is conducted not only by a certified examiner but also reviewed by a second professional when needed to ensure integrity, accuracy, and fairness.
What Is Quality Control in Polygraph Testing?
Quality control (QC) in polygraph testing refers to:
- A secondary review of the examiner’s data, charts, and scoring
- Verification of proper question formatting and procedures
- Ensuring compliance with APA standards
- Eliminating examiner bias or technical errors
- Catching inconclusive or improperly scored results before release
It’s like having a second set of eyes ensuring nothing was missed or misinterpreted.
Why It Matters
✅ Accuracy Is Everything
A poorly conducted or unchecked polygraph can lead to:
- False positives or false accusations
- Inconclusive results that damage your case
- Unfair outcomes in legal or relationship settings
With quality control, you know the results are reliable and professionally validated.
✅ Legal and Professional Credibility
Attorneys, judges, and employers often ask:
“Was this test reviewed or peer-checked?”
Choosing a company with a built-in verification process increases the likelihood that your polygraph results will be taken seriously in court or employment hearings.
✅ Ethical Safeguards
Spectrum Polygraph Services follows APA ethical standards, which recommend:
- Regular internal reviews of exams
- Examiner re-certification and continuing education
- Supervision or second-opinion reviews in complex or high-stakes cases
This protects you, your results, and your legal standing.
Spectrum’s Quality Control Process
- Certified Examiner Conducts the Exam
- Every exam is performed by an APA-certified professional
- Pre-test, testing, and post-test phases are documented
- Review of Polygraph Charts
- Collected data is analyzed using validated scoring methods
- Charts are reviewed for clarity, consistency, and reliability
- Secondary Review (When Applicable)
- For legal cases, high-profile disputes, or client-requested verification, a second examiner provides a blind review of the charts
- Report Finalization
- Only after all reviews are complete is a written report issued
This process ensures your polygraph is accurate, objective, and legally defensible.
Warning Signs of No Quality Control
Be cautious if a polygraph company:
- Refuses to provide test documentation
- Can’t explain their scoring or methodology
- Doesn’t allow for a second opinion
- Uses outdated, non-APA formats
- Doesn’t include a written report
Your truth deserves more than a one-man operation with no oversight.
Final Thoughts
When the stakes are high—child custody, infidelity, employment, or legal defense—you can’t afford questionable results. Choosing a polygraph company with a formal quality control process ensures your exam is accurate, ethical, and respected by attorneys, courts, and investigators.
