Lie detector test in Chernivtsi: on-⁠site visit or online

Chernivtsi is above all a trading city: trade matters more here than industry, thousands of traders work at the large city market, and small business mostly means shops, services and cafés. Within industry, light industry stands out: sewing, knitwear and footwear businesses. The border crossing into Romania is about 40 km away, the one into Moldova a little further, and an international highway runs through the city.

The trip from Lviv to Chernivtsi and back takes a whole day, so we plan a specialist visit in advance, and travelling to our Lviv office for a 30–45 minute test suits few people. That is why our advice is to begin with VerifEye online, on a phone: no travel is needed, and you can come back to the idea of a visit later if it turns out to be necessary. An EyeDetect visit makes sense when several people need a test at once, for example everyone who works in a workshop or a shop: a specialist tests them in one visit. The test itself needs little: a quiet place with a table and a power outlet; whether that is your office, a hotel room or a room next to the workshop, we decide together before the trip. Prices for both options are in the block below.

Two more local details. Romanian is the mother tongue of a sizeable share of the region's residents, but the test exists only in Ukrainian, Russian, English and German, so the person has to read one of them fluently. And there is no need to travel to the regional capital from Novodnistrovsk, Khotyn, Storozhynets or Kitsman: the online test is taken wherever the person lives.

In conversation, any lie detector goes by the name of polygraph, which is why our test gets called that too. We run it on EyeDetect and VerifEye, which look at eye reactions and leave the body without sensors; a classic polygraph works differently, and it is not among our services.

Now some examples from life in a trading city. Imagine a sewing workshop where, after a big order, fabric and several finished garments are missing, and five seamstresses work there. A second example: a couple who trade at the market from morning till evening are looking for a nanny for their two-year-old daughter; before leaving the child with her, the parents want to ask about her previous job. A third: several days' takings were kept at home until the next purchase of stock, part of the money disappeared, and only family members were in the flat at the time. Only a person who has given written consent takes the test, and the question is about one event:

• For the seamstresses: “Between September 1 and September 20, did you take fabric or finished garments out of the workshop without the owner's permission?”
• For the nanny: “In your last year of working as a nanny, did you leave a child alone at home?”
• For the family members: “Between October 5 and October 8, did you take money from the wardrobe in the bedroom?”
