Public consultation analysis

Public consultation analysis: every submission read, every link drawn

An urban plan, a bylaw or a budget goes to consultation and hundreds of submissions come back. Hearings are recorded and still waiting to be read. WiseWays reads each voice, maps what residents see, and writes the audit for the council and the public.

Word clouds count words. WiseWays reads what people mean.

Survey tools tally answers. Sentiment tools score a mood. WiseWays reads every contribution as a person speaking: what they see, what they want, what blocks them, what they believe is possible. Then it draws the links. The result shows why residents feel the way they do and what connects one concern to another.

What the consultation audit contains

The Constellation of the consultation: shared concerns, competing priorities, what drives what, and the gaps named. The Strategic Reading: the written audit, ready to brief decision makers and to report back to residents, with the questions that deserve a second look.

Hear residents one at a time

Open a question to residents and let each of them answer Sage in private, in their own words, in French, English or Spanish. The Rule of 5 means the collective map opens only once five people have spoken. Participation, privacy and reporting terms are agreed with you before collection begins. Data is hosted in Québec, Canada by default.
