Analysis

Analysis workspace.

Work with participant photographs and words to develop themes, needs and assets, and community findings.

Analyzing your own project requires a signed-in facilitator role on that project. The worktable below runs on sample content so you can see how it works first.

From photograph to community findings

An unlit stretch of sidewalk beside a fence

Participant-authored

“I go around this stretch after work even though it adds ten minutes.”

WHY does this situation exist? — The lights here have not been replaced.

  1. Codes and themes

    Facilitator-recorded, reviewed with participants

    Lighting and safety · Walking routes

  2. Needs and assets

    Group dialogue

    Concern: unlit route · Strength: neighbors who notice

  3. Findings and action

    Community findings

    Shared with decision-makers for action

Illustrative sample content. Participant meaning is preserved as submitted and is never replaced by facilitator or AI-assisted analysis.

Sample mode — demonstration content, not participant work

Review participant data

Photograph, title, narrative, and reflection as submitted.

  • Illustrative photograph: a wall of printed community photographs

    Participant-authored

    Someone waters these

    Nobody is paid to keep these alive. Different people do it depending on the week. That is what this block is.

    How can we feel EMPOWERED by this? — We already take care of small things together.

  • An unlit stretch of sidewalk beside a fence

    Participant-authored

    The long way home

    I go around this stretch after work even though it adds ten minutes. I have done it so long I stopped noticing I do it.

    WHY does this situation exist? — The lights here have not been replaced.

  • Illustrative photograph: printed photographs pinned in rows

    Participant-authored

    Chairs come out at five

    This is where people actually talk. It is not a park and nobody planned it.

    How does this relate to OUR lives? — It is where we hear what is going on.

  • A bus shelter with a missing panel

    Participant-authored

    Waiting in the weather

    The panel has been gone a long time. In winter you wait in the wind with your bags.

    What can we DO about it? — Report it together instead of one at a time.

Participant interpretation stays primary.
