Case Studies

From scattered signals to organized foresight

UNDP's horizon-scanning platform was outgrowing manual sorting. We added AI that tags and groups signals into themes, a chatbot to explore them, and visualizations that reveal patterns.

Gender equality assessments, in 100+ languages

Certifying institutions against the Gender Seal means reviewing mountains of evidence. LOLA assesses it against every benchmark and drafts the reports, and has grown into a full platform for Country Offices and reviewers.

Health product dossiers, screened with experts in control

Supplier submissions used to be checked by hand, with gaps chased over email. Our AI screener checks each dossier against the team's SOP and produces a report with clarification requests, showing its reasoning every time.
