Annotations per immersion
Catapult Design is a non-profit product and service design firm that works with socially driven organizations to build forward-looking, accessible, and market-based solutions that empower low-income and underserved communities with reliable tools to improve their quality of life.
To ensure health innovations in global majority countries are grounded in the lived realities, culture, values, and priorities of women and girls by engaging them early and consistently in decision-making. Through this pilot, Catapult Design, with design partners across Africa, facilitates Gender Equality Design Labs to test ideas and enable continued engagement with women.

Features and integrations
Custom Templates for Data Upload
Configurable templates allow for custom forms for each research team to have their own structure to upload transcripts and media albeit with a unifying tag architecture
Collaborative Annotation
Configured tag systems allow team members across geographies to collaborate on uploaded transcripts to complete annotation and highlight key quotes
Data Review System
Ensure data quality through a system for reviewing content by submitting for review, reviewer comments and review dashboards
Role Based Access
Allows the Catapult team to control access such that the data is secure from non-project users, and also to separate access between research teams as required
Analysis Views & Collection Pages
Have been used to help guide a user through various levels of synthesized data, and to be able to explore all the annotations with a range of cross cutting filters
AI Q&A
Supports users to query the dataset ensuring precise answers without hallucinations or external data interference, while keeping the data secure
Platform interventions
Research Across Geographies
Research is managed across the three countries and teams supporting standardisation of the data through structuring even where the qualitative research is open ended and country specific
Export to Miro
As teams across countries and regions collaborate on analysis of the data on Miro, annotated data is exported directly into Miro to fit seamlessly into the existing research process and tools
