From Policy Briefs to High-Impact Tools: How a Government Analyst Used Wizly to Influence Broader Audiences
- Use AI-powered knowledge-sharing tools to make policy research accessible, usable, and actionable for diverse stakeholders.
- Policy Reports That Didn’t Reach Decision Makers
- John led a policy think tank initiative focused on climate resilience. His research was critical but:
1. Static PDF briefs were too dense for local policymakers
2. Few read the full documents; insights got buried in inboxes
3. NGOs and grant writers kept requesting simplified summaries
4. Every update required creating multiple versions manually
He needed a way to make his insights dynamic, queryable, and integrated into decision-making workflows.
- Creating a Public-Facing Policy Intelligence Hub
John used Wizly to build a public-access Research Collection that positioned his work as an always-available digital advisor for government and nonprofit users.
- How She Built It:
1. Thematic Modules:
* City-Specific Climate Risk Profiles
* Urban Resilience Playbooks
* Funding Pathways (State/Federal/NGO)
* Policy Case Library
2. Layered Formats:
* Embedded GIS maps showing real-time urban risk factors
* Airtable-powered charts linked to federal databases
* Tableau dashboards showing funding eligibility and impact
* Voice explainers tailored for busy government and NGO executives
3. Smart AI Search:
* Enabled instant querying like:
* “Which cities have a flood resilience rating below 60?”
* “Summarize adaptation funding for mid-sized coastal towns.”
4. Distribution & Licensing:
* Shared with civic mailing lists and local leadership forums
* Gated access for policy consultants and grant-writing firms
* Quarterly update triggers with auto-email to stakeholders
Business Outcomes
* 6x increase in stakeholder engagement compared to PDFs
* 50+ clients subscribed for ongoing updates and modules
* 20+ hours/month saved on summarizing and reformatting
* Enabled monetization via reuse licenses by grant consultants and civic tech firms
