"Our old tools were really antiquated and hard to use internally. As a modern tool with a proven track record, Citizen Space lowers barriers to entry. That's really important."
- Jason Kitkat, Essex County Council, UK.

Julie Clausen, Hamilton City Council, New Zealand
Analysis
Engagement and consultation activities are only as good as the insight that can be gained from them. Without analysis tools, the responses become a burden rather than a rich source of useful data.
Navigate & Filter
Explore data by response or by question. Use filters to examine data subsets. Combine filters for sophisticated queries.
Code / tag
Analyse qualitative data with ease by coding/tagging text-based responses thematically.
Cross-tab and chart
Correlate answers from multiple questions. Use data tables and charts to discover trends in the response data.
"What we really wanted was an integrated platform that has the analysis, data collection, and survey design as well.
Florence Obinna, London Borough of Hackney, UK
That’s why we really liked Citizen Space."

"I would like to thank and compliment the staff of Delib for their professionalism and the level of service they have provided during our first year using Citizen Space.
It is always daunting when trying to change one's work practices and they have assisted and guided us with great patience during this time. They are a pleasure to work with."
