You can check which records a finding rests on. Earlier findings and missing evidence are also kept in the review record.
Should a programme tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) receive funding? Analytics examines public plans and reports, research and surveillance data, and funding records. You receive a brief with its sources, covering existing funding, overlap with other programmes and questions that remain open.
Before committing funding, you need to know which programmes already exist and whether the proposal fills a gap. We compare the relevant sources. Health funding is attributed to AMR only when the records support that connection.
You can check which records a finding rests on. Earlier findings and missing evidence are also kept in the review record.
We mark how far a source supports a finding. Two records covering similar topics do not by themselves establish a connection between their programmes.
Open questions are considered in terms of whether an answer could change the decision. This helps your team choose what to check next.
Alpha is the research agent for this AMR use case. It helps examine sources on countries, funding and programmes and prepares findings with their supporting records. Your team uses its expertise to review the conclusions.
More about working with Alpha. The research agent supports source review within Analytics, working to the agreed question.
Explore the Alpha use caseA funding decision requires a distinction between what was promised, what was delivered and what results were observed. The review groups the available evidence accordingly and identifies missing information, so you can see what needs following up before the decision.
Analytics does not make clinical or medical decisions.
A lack of public evidence does not establish that nothing is happening in the country.
Your team reviews sources and methods and is responsible for the funding decision. Analytics does not decide autonomously.
