Instruments for collective intelligence.

comCensus is a platform for surfacing consensus across complex groups. It is the flagship product of my company, Science of Science Ltd, which also takes on occasional consultancy work.

§ I

comCensus — a consensus engine for groups

comCensus.org is a platform that helps groups of people surface, debate, and reach consensus on complex questions. Open questions can be posed to any respondent, and an AI layer helps participants understand each other across language and cultural barriers. Results are at once public and protected: every voice is recorded, but no individual voice is exposed.

comCensus has been featured in Nature and is being deployed within the European TRUSTparency consortium. It is used in research, policy, and inside organisations.

The platform is the flagship product of Science of Science Ltd, my company, which also takes on occasional consultancy and policy work for funders and research organisations.
