Platform

Every stage of the study writes to the same record.

Design, fieldwork, literature review, coding, statistics, and reporting are not five tools passing files between them. In Heurista they are one connected study record, so the question every reviewer asks, how was this finding produced, always has an answer.

Product surface

What the same Heurista workspace actually contains.

These are capability areas inside one product, not separate products for different users. Teams can start from an evaluation canvas, a research instrument, imported field data, a literature review, or existing evidence, then move into analysis and reporting without rebuilding the record.

Heurista evaluation canvas with framework selection, key evaluation questions, and source requirements

Study setup and evaluation canvas

Define the study, instruments, frameworks, key evaluation questions, indicators, sources, and evidence standards before analysis starts.

Collection and field-data intake

Prepare instruments for deployment, manage study languages and consent, push XLSForms to KoboToolbox or ODK Central, or hand off validated exports to SurveyCTO and other XLSForm-compatible tools alongside CSV and transcript intake.

Next step

Test the workflow on one real study.

Bring a real study. Design instruments, collect responses, code the evidence, run analysis, and draft a report. The useful test is whether the source trail still makes sense at the end.
