First, you upload or paste the short text passages or “statements” which you want to analyse for the causal claims which they contain.

Next, you view each statement one by one, highlighting passages which contain causal claims. For each claim, you decide what is the cause and what is the effect.

Each causal claim becomes part of a small, “live” causal map in the right-hand window which grows as you work.

Last, you can view the whole map built up from all the causal claims you have been reviewing. You can search, change, edit and simplify the codes you have been using, as well as getting an overall picture: what caused what in these stories? You can also conduct more sophisticated analyses and produce graphics and reports, answering questions like: did the stories which the women told differ from those which the men told?
