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

Kropyvnytskyi stands on the Inhul river in the middle of the steppe, and the region around it is agricultural: most of its territory is ploughland sown with wheat, maize and sunflowers. The city works for those fields: seeding and tillage machinery is made here, and machine building and food processing are its leading industries. There is a second Kropyvnytskyi too, a student one: a flight academy and several universities. Our examples come from these two worlds. All of them are invented and serve one purpose: to show that a test question is about a specific fact, names a period and has a yes-or-no answer.

Imagine two business partners who run a workshop repairing seed drills and tractors. Before the sowing season customers complain about breakdowns, and one partner suspects that the mechanic fits used parts and bills them as new. The second example is two neighbours who rent farmland together: one delivered the sunflower crop to the buyer and named a price the other does not believe. The third is parents in Dolynska who send their student son money every month for tuition and housing in Kropyvnytskyi, while he keeps asking for more. Questions for these three cases are in the list below.

Now about the journey, because here it decides a lot. There is no convenient train from Lviv to Kropyvnytskyi: the direct one is not daily and gets in at night, so the specialist takes a bus or changes trains, and that is about half a day each way. For one question and one person our advice is the VerifEye online test first: a student can take it on a phone in a quiet room, a business partner at home in the evening. An EyeDetect visit pays off when a group takes the test on one day, for instance all the mechanics or everyone who had keys to the parts store. We run the test in the farm office, a room at the workshop or a hotel room: what matters is that it is quiet and that there is a socket beside the table. If farm workers are involved, it is better not to pick a day at the height of sowing or harvest, when people are out in the fields. Each person gives consent in writing and for themselves alone, and you should speak to a lawyer before testing employees.

From Znamianka, an important railway junction about 40 km from Kropyvnytskyi, it is easy to come in on the day of the visit. Oleksandriia is further, 75 km away, Dolynska is a railway junction in the south of the region, and Svitlovodsk stands on the Dnipro itself, on the Kremenchuk Reservoir, 131 km away by road. From there the online test can be taken without leaving town, and if EyeDetect is needed, we come on the same terms as to the regional centre. For the cost of a visit and of the online test, see the prices block below.

A note on the word “polygraph”. In Kropyvnytskyi people use it for any lie detector test, although a classic polygraph means sensors on the body, and we do not offer it. EyeDetect and VerifEye work differently: they assess eye reactions while the person answers.

• For the mechanic: “Since February 1 this year, have you fitted used parts to customers' machines instead of new ones?”
• For the co-tenant of the land: “Did you sell the 2026 sunflower crop for more than you told your partner?”
• For the student: “Since September 1 this year, have you placed bets with the money your parents gave you for your studies?”
