Using Qualitative Data for Program Decisions: A Live Demo of Dots

​Qualitative data rarely arrives in neat, structured formats. It comes through interviews, field notes, open-ended surveys, WhatsApp conversations, and transcripts across multiple projects and time periods.

​For many teams, the challenge is not just collecting this data, but making sense of it in a way that can actually inform strategy and decision-making.

​Join our 1 hour live session on Thursday, April 16 at 4pm IST to see Dots in action where we’ll demonstrate how the platform supports end-to-end qualitative and mixed methods workflows to generate meaningful insights.

​What the demo will cover

• ​How to structure qualitative data for analysis
  Move from raw inputs to organized, analysis-ready datasets

• ​How to combine qualitative and quantitative data in one workflow
  Connect and explore mixed methods data together, instead of in silos

• ​How to move beyond manual coding into deeper analysis
  Track patterns, relationships, and changes over time within your data

​What you'll walk away with

• ​A clear sense of how Dots works and what it can do

• ​A feel for whether it's the right fit for your use case

• ​And if it is, a starting point for aligning with the Dots team on how to put your qualitative data to work

​Who this session is for

• ​MEL practitioners and program teams in the social impact sector

• ​Organizations managing large or ongoing qualitative datasets across projects or geographies

• ​Teams looking to make qualitative insights more usable for decision-making
