What we do

Knowmore works with nonprofits and other mission-driven organizations both big and small to enable them to use data to drive their decision making. Many in these industries are not taking full advantage of data science because 1: they don't understand it fully, and 2: they don't have the resources. By connecting data scientists and engineers with socially impactful projects, we provide opportunities to leverage the power of data towards bettering humanity.

How it works

Knowmore enables mission-driven organizations and groups to crowdsource data analysis by hosting data requests. Requests are endorsed by the staking of Reputation tokens from community members as representation of community alignment with the project. At project end, the endorsers receive the funds donated to the project in exchange for their staked Reputation. The token pool is then distributed to project collaborators as recognition for their work and a measure of Reputation. In this way, Knowmore incentivizes collaborator contribution through a socioeconomic feedback loop that promotes a meritocratic hierarchy where influence organically transitions to those of experience and impact.

  • Data Requests

    Beneficiaries consult with Knowmore to come up with a compelling story for data-driven impact. A request is created highlighting what the problem is, why a data solution is helpful, and the actions that will result from completion of the request.

  • Endorsements

    The community organizes around requests based on alignment to the cause, its impact, and its feasability. They endorse projects by staking their reputation, and participating towards it's completion. The more compelling a request, the more endorsement and resources it will get.

  • Data Analytics Curation

    The Collaboration Platform curates data analytics through a series of phases. This includes data discovery and cleansing, feature engineering, infrastructure architecting, model building, visualization, and conclusion drawing - each with a community-determined weighting of importance.

  • Collaborator Reputation

    Reputation is earned when projects complete succesfully. It is earned through votes provided by fellow collaborators for contributions made towards a project. The more reputation, the stronger the vote - and the more potential to endorse future projects.

  • Senseful Donations

    Donors help keep the system running. They are made on a project-by-project basis and go directly to the community following project completion. There is a public record of donations made, and how they were distributed, keeping the system as transparent as possible.

  • Collaborative Discovery

    Knowmore houses an index of public data sets for convenient discovery, along with a suite of integrations for code sharing, testing, and deployment for effective collaboration.
