Platforms

• Allows for quick & real time monitoring (Approval chains/time stamps/audio checks, quick statistics to gauge trends)

• Validation of responses & completion of data

• Cost & time optimization: Most are available for free, tailored to our needs

Scribe pens for qualitative data collection

• Images of field notes paired with voice recording

• Helps get context as and when needed of our ‘field notes’

• (Digitization of notes is tricky)

GIS & visualization of data

• GPS tracking for building panel datasets

• Storification of data
