Blind Sampling
Unbiased feedback, scored the same way every time, with the branding stripped away.
Blind sampling on Sensemillier strips away the brand, the packaging, and the THC number so cannabis is judged on what is in the jar: reviewers grade effect, flavour, and structure against the same rubric every round, producing comparable, defensible scores that build over time.
What gets in the way.
Blind evaluation is the honest way to judge cannabis, because it strips away the halo of a name or a label. The hard part was never shipping a sample. It is everything around it: recruiting reviewers, keeping the trial genuinely blind, running it on a schedule, and capturing feedback in a form that still means something months later. For a busy producer, that orchestration rarely happens, so the data never compounds.
Blind Sampling with Sensemillier
Sensemillier handles the orchestration. Create an Evaluation Link, send it to your reviewer network, and collect grading on effect, flavour, and bud structure, with no brand, no packaging, and no THC number to sway the verdict. Every round is scored against the same rubric, so results stay comparable over time and your data actually builds into something.
Built for the way you already work.
Independent Research
Design blinded, randomised studies and run them end to end on the platform, the way our own team measured how e-beam irradiation changes cannabis over six months.
Structured Evaluation
Hand every panelist the same rubric under the same blind conditions, so findings are consistent, defensible, and straightforward to replicate.
Longitudinal Tracking
Re-grade the same samples across months to see how aroma, trichomes, and effect actually evolve, not just where they start.
Blind evaluation forms
Reviewers grade without ever seeing product metadata. Their input aggregates into clean effect, flavour, and bud-structure profiles: defensible scores that resist the pull of reputation.
Case study: electron-beam irradiation, measured over six months
In a blinded, randomised, controlled study, our team split a single cultivar, irradiated one half at 10 kGy, and graded both samples blind on the Sensemillier platform at month one and month six. The platform made it straightforward to set up the blind protocol, collect every panelist’s scores, and pull out the grading data and trichome images in one place. The irradiated sample lost 9.67% of its total THC over that period against just 0.79% in the untreated control, alongside resin-gland degradation and microseed formation that a lab number alone would never have caught. It is a working example of the structured, longitudinal evaluation that Evaluation Links make possible.

Good to know.
Why does blind evaluation matter for cannabis?
Names, packaging, and THC numbers all bias a verdict. Blind evaluation removes them, so the score reflects the flower itself rather than its reputation.
How does Sensemillier keep a trial blind?
Reviewers grade through Evaluation Links that expose no product metadata: no brand, no label, no potency figure. Every panelist answers the same rubric under the same conditions.
Has this been used in real research?
Yes. Our six-month electron-beam irradiation study ran as a blinded, randomised, controlled trial entirely on the platform; the full PDF is on this page.
