The problem

Raw community input is not policy-grade evidence.

Town halls, online portals, and field interviews generate thousands of voices. Without structured collection, defensible analysis, and a security posture your IT team will sign off, none of it makes it to the policy paper.

  • Consultation data trapped in ad-hoc spreadsheets
  • No defensible methodology to cite in policy papers
  • IT and procurement blocking new tools for months
  • Minority views averaged out of the final report

Portfolio scale

AI analysis across every consultation, not one at a time.

Most consultation tools analyse one consultation in isolation. Folktale lets you cross-cut every consultation in your portfolio by region, demographic, and theme, so you can see the patterns no single program would reveal.

  • Cross-program theme detection with confidence scores
  • Region and demographic cross-cuts in one click
  • Anomalies auto-flagged for ministerial briefings

The consent and audit trail were what got us through procurement. The reporting got us through the minister's office.
