DocRef for public consultation
Publish drafts and discussion documents with DocRef for effective responses and efficient analysis.
How does it work?
Publish
Enhance comprehension by publishing your document with annotations, tags and marked up changes. Enable cross-linking and direct reference to specific document parts with granular pinpoint links.
Annotate
Submitters respond efficiently using document annotations. You receive targeted comments on granular document components, such as paragraphs, bullet points, or even cells in tables.
Analyse
Receive submissions as data in a compiled spreadsheet via our one-click submission tool. Publish responses as document annotations, and demonstrate incorporated feedback with comparison and versioning tools.
Consultation is unavoidable,
but inefficiency isn't
Public consultation plays a crucial role in building trust and confidence and producing better regulation and public policy. Unfortunately, common tools for the job still work as if paper is the primary technology.
​
Using DocRef, we can fully digitise the documentary processes that underlie public consultation. Publish drafts and discussion documents in ways that maximise their potential as flexible datasets, enabling tools to enhance the quality and speed of public feedback.
Then, receive responses in ways that minimise data handling and manual analysis, allowing skilled staff to focus on what they do best.
