Claim 0:
1. An apparatus to determine whether audience measurement meters are co-located, the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory;
machine readable instructions; and
processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to:
based on a difference between a first sampling time of a first entry of a first log and a second sampling time of a corresponding entry of a second log satisfying a first threshold, determine at least one matching instance of at least one first device identifier of the first entry and at least one second device identifier of the corresponding entry;
populate a variable with the at least one matching instance, the variable corresponding to a first meter and a second meter; and
based on a metric satisfying a second threshold, cause transmission of an alert indicating that the first meter and the second meter were co-located during generation of the first log and the second log, the metric based on the at least one matching instance.
