What the publication shows
JET Education Services is an established education research and evaluation organisation. In its Annual Report 2023, "Working Towards Impact", the team describes an outcome harvesting evaluation. JET annual reports from 2011 to 2022 were reviewed by JET researchers and analysed using Evidano.
The tool was one of five evidence sources, alongside an internal staff survey, an external partner survey, project team engagements and a board workshop.
The report states the reports were "reviewed by JET researchers and analysed using AILYZE". Researchers stayed in the loop. The analysis supported their judgement rather than replacing it.
How Evidano fit the workflow
The workflow reported in the evaluation.
- 112 years of annual reports (2011 to 2022)
- 2Analysed with Evidano
- 3Reviewed by JET researchers
- 4Combined with surveys, a most significant change survey and a board workshop
- 5200+ outcomes harvested
“an artificial intelligence application designed for qualitative research”
Manual review and an AI-assisted workflow
Read years of documents by hand. Slow synthesis across many sources. Hard to trace where a finding came from.
Structured analysis across the full corpus. A faster route to candidate outcomes. Clickable quotes and citations for traceability.
Evidano was named openly in a published report. Transparent tool use, not hidden.
Analysis was reviewed by researchers. Evidano supports judgement, it does not replace it.
Described in the publication as designed for qualitative research. The tool also works with interviews, focus groups and open-ended responses.
Sits within recognised approaches such as outcome harvesting and most significant change.
