The computational wing of the Autonomy Institute

Public-interest intelligence, at scale.

Network analysis Economic modelling Document intelligence
Selected work

We read the documents nobody else has the capacity to read — and turn them into evidence.

A small team of data scientists and machine-learning engineers inside the Autonomy Institute. We scrape, model and extract at a scale that used to belong only to the largest firms — and we point it at power rather than away from it. Working since 2020 with unions, charities, newsrooms and campaigners.
Capabilities
01Network analysis Scraping filings, donations, contracts and the open web, then using LLMs to extract entities and relationships — turning scattered records into a map of who is connected to whom.
02Economic & labour modelling Microsimulation, input–output models and bespoke indices — quantifying what policy debates assume but rarely measure: landlord profits, deprivation, the price of climate shocks.
03Document intelligence LLM extraction across millions of documents — annual reports, job ads, regulatory filings, transcripts — tagged and classified into datasets you can actually query.
04Tools & data products Public-facing interactive tools — searchable databases, trackers and indexes — so the people who need the findings can use them without a data team.

Tell us roughly what you're trying to find out and the shape of the data. We'll come back on whether it's a fit and how we'd approach it.
