Consult
Benefits
The key benefits are improving the consultation process making it more likely for the public's voice to be heard and to influence policy, productivity gains for civil servants and reduced costs (including on consultants). Consult reduces the burden on civil servants to compile and categorise consultation responses, empowering analysts to dive deeper into the data and focus more on in-depth consultation analysis. It makes the consultation process faster, less prone to human error, and potentially increases the number of consultations that can be run. The tool is 400 times cheaper and over 120 times quicker than manual analysis.
