About Us

Livewire Consultancy builds evidence analysis solutions for the UK public sector, covering consultations, calls for evidence, and policy assessments. We help policy teams turn public responses into publication-ready findings, without compromising on scrutiny or accountability.

Survey & Data Design

We help design surveys and calls for evidence, then ingest responses from any format straight into the platform.

AI-Enhanced Analysis

A hybrid approach blending expert human research with secure, purpose built AI tools, never a public model, to cut analysis time significantly, without cutting corners.

Live Dashboards

Track themes and sentiment as responses arrive, rather than waiting for a final report to see what is emerging.

Independent Verification

Every finding is independently verified by our analysts, so results hold up to scrutiny.

Public sector expertise, built for scrutiny, not just scale.

How We Work

Human Expertise

Every project is led by senior researchers who understand policy, not just data.

Secure, Purpose Built AI

Purpose built AI, run in our own secure environment and never a public tool, accelerates the heavy lifting under analyst oversight.

Independent Verification

Every finding is checked against the source data before it counts as a result.

Why We Began

In 2023, we worked with a central government department to purpose build a secure, hybrid AI and human analytics process, designed to mitigate risk and answer questions that existing consultation analysis methods couldn't.

That solution has been shaped by lessons learned on live government consultations ever since, and it's the reason policy teams keep coming back to us.
