The story behind Get Causality: from frustration with manual workshop processing to a platform that runs the whole pipeline.
Founder. Army Veteran. Ph.D. Student in Environmental Conservation, UMass Amherst.
I'm an Army Veteran and Ph.D. student at UMass Amherst studying environmental conservation with a focus on complex socio-ecological interactions. My research investigates human–wildlife conflicts in aquatic ecosystems, particularly depredation, where a predator partially or wholly consumes an angler's catch in the process of landing.
I've led multiple causal-mapping workshops with recreational anglers, fisheries managers, and scientists across the U.S. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at the World Fisheries Congress.
Two workshops, three years, months of hand-transcription per study. The platform is what I needed and didn't have.
Two workshops. 43 stakeholders. Months of transcription per study. The case for automation wrote itself.
Two people give the same answer for completely different reasons. Surveys average that away. I needed to see the reasons — how charter captains, anglers, managers, and scientists actually thought about shark depredation.
Gulf Shores in 2022. Seattle in 2024. Every workshop ran on facilitator teams, travel budgets, and hand-coded models. Most of the timeline went to processing, not analysis.
Raw stakeholder responses to publication-ready analysis in hours. Survey design, response collection at scale, multi-model and meta-model analysis, final figures. The pipeline I kept building by hand.
Accessible enough that stakeholder analysis isn't gated by who can afford a facilitator team. Rigorous enough for peer review. Reproducible enough to compound across studies.
Peer-reviewed publications, multi-stakeholder workshops across the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Northwest.
Founding-member pricing. Locked in for two years after public launch.
