Social Research & Public Sector

AI text analysis that holds up before ethics committees.

Citizen consultations with 50,000 free texts, longitudinal studies in 12 languages, consultations under time pressure – deepsight delivers the infrastructure social research needs: methodologically sound, reproducible, and GDPR-compliant.

The challenge

Large corpora, strict methodology – and tight budgets.

Social research demands traceable results. At the same time, data volumes are growing – along with expectations for speed and transparency.

Problem 01

10,000+ free texts, too little capacity.

Citizen surveys and consultations generate text volumes that can no longer be handled manually. Research teams lose weeks – and the timeliness of their findings.

Problem 02

Reproducibility is demanded but rarely delivered.

Who coded what, when? Inter-rater reliability is standard methodology – but rarely documented systematically. Results stand on shaky foundations.

Problem 03

Multilingual data, one analysis.

Cross-border studies, EU consultations, multilingual panels. Separate pipelines per language increase effort and reduce comparability.

What deepsight delivers

Features built for social research.

Not adapted, but designed – for qualitative content analysis, consultation processes, and academic studies.

Open & closed coding

Create your own code frames or let the AI discover topics. Both can be combined – everything versioned, everything traceable.

30+ languages, one code frame

Translate-then-analyze: All responses are translated and analyzed with one optimized model. Results comparable across language boundaries.

Automatic anonymization

PII detection and masking before analysis. k-anonymity for sensitive datasets – before any human sees the texts.

Reproducible & versioned

Document categories and check assignments against original responses to make the analysis traceable for other researchers.

Multiple coders, one system

Roles, assignment, conflict resolution. Senior reviews, junior codes – all with audit trail in the same system.

Complete audit trail

Who marked what, when? Which model suggested it? Full trace per data point – for ethics committees and peer review.

Use cases

Where deepsight is used in social research.

From municipal citizen participation to EU consultations to academic longitudinal studies.

Citizen participation & consultation

Neighborhood surveys, urban planning, dialogue processes. 10,000+ free-text inputs systematically coded and clustered – in days instead of months.

MunicipalitiesDialogueFree text

Academic studies

Qualitative content analysis following Mayring or Grounded Theory – supported by AI, documented through audit trail. For dissertations, funded projects, and third-party research.

MayringGrounded TheoryFunded

Policy evaluation & monitoring

Evaluate measures, measure impact, create reports. Structured analysis of interviews, position papers, and consultation processes.

EvaluationMonitoringStatements

Multilingual panels & EU studies

12+ languages, one code frame, comparable results. For cross-country studies, Eurobarometer analyses, and international research consortia.

EUMultilingualCross-Country
Compliance & methodology

Scientific standards, technically implemented.

GDPR & ethics

Germany hosting (Hetzner), DPA, no third-country transfers. Compatible with ethics committee and data protection officer requirements.

Anonymization

Automatic PII detection and masking – before analysis starts. k-anonymity for particularly sensitive datasets.

Audit trail

Every coding, every review, every model decision is traceable and exportable. For method sections and peer review.

Methodological review

Compare coding with an expert-reviewed sample and document differences.
