What role do prototypes, testing or technical proof play in Data…

Annex's published work does not point to a single mandatory toolset for data, analytics & reporting. Using Drupal 8 and its multilingual capability, the team created a website that can automatically translate English content into over 64 languages using google translate, and also allow manual human translation to be published when they were made available. Using Drupal, our team created a flexible admin experience for managing the navigation, pages, and repeatable components within the site. Prototypes, technical proofs, testing and platform choices are used when they help answer a real project question; the technology is selected around the client landscape and intended service rather than the other way around.

Analytics and reporting integrated into digital products to support measurement and operational insight. The system also had reporting capability to understand trends and metrics on the ma…

A useful published example is **Helping energy innovators power ahead — Overview and context**. It helps energy innovators orient themselves in the complex energy market, understand energy regulations and which energy sector stakeholders need to be contacted. We built a tool that helps Energy Innova…

The easy mistake is to scope data, analytics & reporting too narrowly. A brand name was selected through user testing, and website prototype testing informed and validated our approach. To support the strategy of making energy innovation easier, the brand is deliberately restrained and to the point.…

Annex uses evidence during delivery rather than treating quality as a final inspection step. A brand name was selected through user testing, and website prototype testing informed and validated our approach. The Annex team worked collaboratively with the AER to deliver an evidence-based solution tha…
