Joint Analysis Workspace (JAWS)

The Joint Analysis Workspace (JAWS) uses available advanced technologies to integrate qualitative and quantitative data and elicit expert judgement. JAWS is designed to be an agile platform, supporting various usages such as needs, situation and risk analysis, response analysis and decisions, and outcome monitoring.

The workspace will ingest and display quantitative and qualitative data from identified platforms, data lake, or import of ad hoc cleaned and validated datasets.
Guided screens will allow experts to progress through different levels of analysis and workspace participants will be able to complete different steps based on their user role.
Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning will be developed for JAWS based on the extensive DEEP research on automated analysis and topic modelling.

Workspace for Joint Analysis

JAWS ANALYSIS Flow*

*Analysis is an iterative process, so while the steps indicate a forward movement, earlier steps will be revisted when needed

Analysis Flow for JAWS

The generic Joint Analysis Method that guides the analysis flow in JAWS can be customized and adapt based on the purpose of the analysis and the depth and rigour required.

Joint analysis enables organizations to leverage the strengths of diverse expertise, engage stakeholders effectively, and generate insights that are robust, actionable, and well-informed.

JAWS facilitates real-time collaboration, data sharing, and communication among participants, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of joint analysis and enabling access to tacit knowledge and mitigating biases like group thinking.
