AI & Data Science

AI in the service of evidence

Axiom uses artificial intelligence to design and build the systems that run an assignment - coding the data-entry forms, quality-assurance rules and live dashboards, and designing the data processes behind them. The AI works on the system, not the substance: field data, personal and bio information are never fed into it. Our analysts own the design and validate every output.

A Sample Approach

How AI moves through an assignment

A representative pipeline for a mixed-method evaluation. AI accelerates each step, but a human analyst owns the start (tool design) and the end (validated findings).

01

Engineer

AI helps us code the digital data-entry forms, skip logic, quality-assurance rules and dashboard templates - before a single record is collected.

02

Capture

Digital field data capture (KoBo / ODK) with mandatory fields, skip logic and in-form validation - clean at the source.

03

Verify

Automated quality assurance flags outliers, GPS / timestamp mismatches and audio-audit failures in real time, during collection.

04

Analyse

Axiom analysts structure findings and surface patterns from aggregated results and open-source data themselves - AI codes the tools, our analysts do the analysis.

05

Visualise

Findings flow into auto-generated dashboards and GIS maps - completion, coverage and indicator trends, live and filterable.

06

Decide

Every machine output is reviewed and validated by an Axiom analyst before it becomes a decision-ready recommendation.

AI-Supported Quality Assurance

Data verified in real time, not after the fact

Axiom runs a built-in, AI-assisted quality-assurance system on a live platform. As enumerators submit, the system validates each record - so errors are caught and corrected during collection. Clients watch the same dashboard we do.

Outlier & anomaly detection
Statistical models flag improbable values and response patterns the moment they are submitted.
GPS & timestamp validation
Every record is checked against its captured location and time - off-site or back-dated entries surface instantly.
Audio-audit & back-checks
Recorded-interview audits and automated cross-checks confirm enumerators followed the protocol.
High-frequency check dashboards
Completion rates, productivity and error flags update live, so errors are corrected during collection, not after.

AI-Supported Dashboard Creation

From raw field data to a live dashboard

We use AI to help code the data plumbing once, then let it run. Pipelines in Python, R and Power BI turn each incoming dataset into interactive KPI cards, charts and maps - so the client sees findings as they emerge, not months later.

Axiom ME interactive analysis dashboard with KPI cards, demographics, and charts filterable by region and indicator
Interactive analysis dashboard · live filters
Axiom ME insights dashboard with business-type, location and trend visualisations
Thematic insights dashboard · demographics, location & trends
Live filters & drill-down
Stakeholders explore results by region, demographic or indicator without waiting on a static report.
From raw data to KPI cards
Pipelines built in Python, R and Power BI turn incoming datasets into KPI cards, charts and maps automatically.
Geo-referenced visualisation
Household and infrastructure data rendered on interactive maps - coverage and gaps at a glance.
Shared, real-time access
Enumerators, supervisors, Axiom management and the client all see the same live platform.
