Data hubs and dashboards
We harness the power of data to tell compelling stories and communicate complex ideas.
Data hubs and dashboards help us present our insights in engaging and accessible ways. Our expertise in data visualisation help us combine simple functionality with visually engaging, easy to navigate interfaces.
We know how important it is for data to be transparent and accessible at speed. Our data hubs and dashboards seamlessly integrate a broad range of data sources under an optimised data architecture.
CASE STUDY
Evidence Map
We developed an easy-to-use tool to support researchers in organising the evidence base for any research question. The tool visualises the gaps in previous research in a clear and intuitive manner, while also allowing users to explore the available literature based on user-defined characteristics and filters.

CASE STUDY
Interactive Theory of Change
We deliver evaluations assessing the design, implementation and outcomes of public policies and programmes. Through our work delivering ‘theory of change’ (TOC) analysis, we routinely see complex relationships between activities, outcomes and impacts. Static TOCs cannot incorporate this complexity. We saw an opportunity to develop software that was interactive and easy to use, allowing users to dynamically explore complex impact paths.

CASE STUDY
Social Care Wales data portal
Social Care Wales asked us to develop a proof-of-concept for a data portal enabling users to explore the number of children looked after across local authorities in Wales and the impact of changes to children’s social care policies. Through the portal, local authorities can also generate forecasts and benchmark performance.

CASE STUDY
Postal delivery prices in Scotland
An end-to-end data pipeline that automatically collects price data from postal delivery operators, then cleans and formats the data before feeding it into a transparency-focused data hub. Our parcel delivery data hub compiles live delivery prices from several operators for each postcode in Scotland, while also providing a benchmark based on true delivery costs to identify instances of unfair pricing.
