First Pass Analysis

A guide to First Pass Analysis, Delib's AI-powered service that automates the initial review of consultation responses to help your team work faster without losing human oversight.

Analysing large volumes of consultation responses is time-consuming work. First Pass Analysis is designed to take the pressure off, using AI to handle the initial review so your analysts can focus on the interpretation and judgement that matters. It integrates directly into Citizen Space, processing responses automatically as they arrive and feeding insights straight back to your analyst dashboard.

Built specifically for government consultation processes, every AI-generated finding is fully editable. The AI assists; your team decides.

What's inside:

  • An overview of how First Pass Analysis works, including context-aware processing that takes into account your consultation's specific questions and objectives rather than analysing bulk data in isolation
  • A breakdown of what the service does, covering automated sentiment scoring, keyword and theme identification, response summaries, and objectionable content flagging for moderation
  • A clear explanation of what First Pass does not do, including making final determinations, modifying original response data, or replacing human analysts
  • Detail on how findings appear in analyst-only editable fields, keeping humans firmly in control throughout
  • Information on data security, auditability and data sovereignty for public sector requirements
