- Segmentation of groups via public data
- Participatory campaign development
- Jargon-free usable language
- Usability testing
- Simulating participation on the platforms
- Processing participatory process data
- Training staff to moderate participation processes
- Evaluate real-time participation data to flag imbalances in participation (and trigger an intervention) (in use in Brazil's national participation platform)
- User support via chatbot, including providing information based on their contributions
- Merge feedback from offline participatory channels
- Tailored feedback to participants - showing how their participation contributed to the process, at scale
- Drive post-process ongoing engagement with participants
