The missing connection
Knowledge exists.
It needs a way to travel.
People know their communities, their operations and the conditions around them. Too little of that knowledge reaches the decisions made about them.
DAAC helps people turn what they know into structured data, bring scattered public evidence into view, and connect systems that cannot read each other. The people who hold the knowledge stay in control.
Better evidence changes the decision.
- InvestmentUnderstand an operation beyond the risk attached to its location.
- Due diligenceCheck a claim against the people, places and sources behind it.
- ImpactCompare what changed with the conditions before an intervention.
Make the knowledge usable where it is needed.
Some information is public but scattered. Some lives in an organisation’s own systems. Some has never been written down. Each needs a different way in.
Consolidate what is public.
Hubs connect organisations, places and activities through the evidence that describes them. Sources, dates and disagreements stay visible, so a reader can judge what a claim supports.
Explore the sector hubsDigitise what people know.
Build digital tools around the work people actually do. Connect existing databases and turn documents into records that can be checked and reused, without asking everyone to adopt the same system.
Explore the workflowsScribe maps each source to the vocabulary it needs. Spine makes the resulting information discoverable across participating systems.
The holder decides
Compile it once.
Choose how it is shared.
A record can help more than the person who first asked for it.
The same evidence can inform a buyer, a bank, a researcher or a programme. Its holder decides who may access it and on what terms. DAAC brokers that connection without taking custody of the data.
When useful information can earn value for the people who compile it, there is a reason to document it carefully and share it.
One infrastructure.
Different ways to put it to work.
Crawl finds public material. Scribe gives it structure. Mason makes a hub people can use. Forge builds and maintains digital systems on a chosen framework. Spine connects the information they hold.

Hubs are useful in their own right. Connecting a hub or a digital system through Spine opens another route to the information it holds.
Workflows
The work DAAC can take on: build sector knowledge, connect information and develop systems for a specific context.
See the workflows →Tooling
The tools behind that work, each with a defined job and a clear relationship to the others.
See the tooling →Solutions
What you can use: a sector hub, a system of your own, access to evidence or an account of what it means.
