Identify and visualise causal connections in speech and writing
Causal Map is a new online research tool, a way to code, analyse and visualise fragments of information about what causes what. Use it to make sense of what interviewees tell you in social science research. Use it to visualise stakeholders’ experiences of how a programme or intervention is working and create collective empirical ‘theories of change’.

When people talk and write, they often give us rich information about what they think causes what. How then to extract this rich information from texts, whether that’s survey responses, interview transcripts or monitoring reports?
​
Causal Map is designed to help you identify and highlight information about what causes what within the text, then use powerful filtering and queries to help you aggregate, visualise and present how your sources perceive change happens.
