Two weeks ago, we launched a beta test of the TADPOLE stage of FrackFinder. As of July 1st, we served up 829 images, several times each, covering 20 counties in 3 different years. By that date, 31 volunteers submitted almost 5,000 responses. After analyzing their results, we've concluded that at least 8 out of 10 volunteers agree on a classification with a 99.6% accuracy and over 91% of the time volunteers were 99% accurate. Our volunteers have turned out to be such a great help. We now have 41 volunteers and we hope that as that number grows, we can continue to classify thousands more images while helping the public visualize fracking impact.
