Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can you build an ETL pipeline to turn messy inputs into an analysis-ready database?
Yes. I design lightweight ETL pipelines (extract, transform, load) that convert PDFs, forms, spreadsheets, and documents into a clean, structured database. This includes a clear schema, validation rules, and a data dictionary so the evidence base stays consistent over time.
2) Do you do intelligent document processing (IDP) or PDF data extraction for research and policy work?
Yes. When inputs arrive as documents (PDFs, Word files, submissions), I build an intelligent document processing workflow to extract key fields, classify content, and organise it into a searchable evidence base. The goal is faster synthesis without losing traceability back to the original source.
3) Can you create a codebook / coding framework for qualitative analysis so multiple analysts code consistently?
Yes. For qualitative projects, I can design a codebook (coding framework) that defines themes, inclusion/exclusion rules, and examples. This improves inter-coder consistency, makes synthesis easier, and helps teams defend findings in reviews.
4) Do you build RAG / knowledge base chatbots so teams can query internal evidence and documents?
Yes. If you want your team to query an internal evidence base in plain English, I can build a knowledge base chatbot using RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) principles. This helps teams reuse evidence across drafting, reporting, and stakeholder questions without repeatedly searching folders.
5) Can your system produce reporting packs for donor reporting and MEL / M&E reporting cycles?
Yes. I build reporting workflows that generate a reusable reporting pack, including tables, synthesis summaries, and draft-ready sections mapped to your required standard. This is especially useful for donor reporting, MEL systems, and recurring M&E reporting cycles where consistency and auditability matter.
