Buzzy - Features

Buzzy's iterative consensus-building process means that small ideas can be catalysts for big changes.

A Proposal is an idea for change raised anonymously by you or another person that solves a real-life problem facing your country or community. Proposals that get Buzzed enough times become Topics, meaning the community will hold a final vote on the idea.

A Topic is a vote held on a winning Proposal or a decision being made by a local leader. Topics are only live for a short duration and become Results after expiring. Votes and discussion on a Topic enriches the Insights generated by the deliberation.

A Result is created when a Topic expires, revealing the community's overall verdict. Result breakdowns draw on votes and comments left by the community to map and display areas of consensus across groups — this puts differences in opinion into context.

Insights are generated by an algorithm-based analysis of community responses to a Topic. Each Result includes a sentiment summary and maps preferences within and across demographics. Next steps draws on the data to suggest pathways forward for the community.
