Policy makers will not read everything produced in a consultation. They needs summaries and analses of responses. Tools for analysing quantitative data (e.g. from surveys) are well-known. But there is also software that can be used to analyse qualitative data (e.g. from focus groups and discussion forums). CAQDAS is well-known to academic researchers, but less so among consultation practitioners.
