Working with one of our customers we set out to scope the extend of the problem, and see if we could make things better. We started earlier in the summer...
"Even if I know something is there, I still can't find it" one user told us.
- Pull all 46,000 decisions
- Standardise and clean the data
- Clean the chairperson/decision maker names
- Remove duplicates
- Pull text from 12,000 PDFs and index the text to make them searchable
- Standardise other filters like legislation/county
Another user said: "I don't like how all Labour Court titles are ALL CAPS. It makes them hard to read." So we made them titlecase.
Oh and we made all this mobile and tablet friendly via a Progressive Web App... so no matter where you are, you can find what you need.
"Tell me each morning about all the new decisions issued" or
"Tell me when new decisions are issued that contain this word or phrase, or happen under certain legislation".
So we built those features too.

We'd love to have everyone on board, and even improve on what we have in collaboration with our customers.
If you know someone who works in employment and might find this useful, let em know! ☺️
