How does it work?
Plain Language Analysis
Flag obtuse text in document by heading.
Long sentences often mask multiple distinct requirements in an IT setting. For proposal responses, they make the reviewers job difficult. Splitting them flushes out ambiguity and enhances clarity.
Passive language (noun preceding verb) lacks strength and often assumes an implicit ‘actor’. Re-phrasing passive language yields clear, actionable statements.
Bad Language Analysis
View critical content gaps and inconsistencies within documentation as a whole, identify dependencies across multiple documents and discover issues earlier.
Use Structure checks to ensure that the right documents have the right content with quality checks for ‘blacklisted’ terms. Flexibly apply different quality checks depending on the type of document, from BRD to detailed specs.
Content Discovery
With ‘discovery’, VisibleThread immediately displays the most frequently occurring concepts (nouns) and their distribution across MS Word, Excel or pdf documents.
This means that for Business Development and Bid Managers, ‘go / no go’ decisions are informed by reviewing key concepts in SOWs or RFPs. Don’t waste money chasing the bid if it’s not aligned with internal competencies or your competitor has shaped the bid.
For IT integration projects, system touch points can be quickly analyzed by reviewing documentation for existing system references.
Team Collaboration
Collaborate with distributed teams in the context of the document.
Adding ‘in context’ comments allows you view commentary side by side with the document content itself. Comments can be categorized using rich color coding meaning that concerns, tasks and risks can be clearly called out for team review. Once comments are completed or replied to, they can be marked as closed.
Team members are always aware of what is happening, communicating in a way that is visible to all.
Project Visibility
A web based dashboard shows status for all projects documents, allowing you zone in instantly on projects running at high risk or non-compliant with Best Practice.
Simply upload your project or proposal documents written with MS Office, no changes needed, no custom mark-up/tagging or specialized format required.
VisibleThread can immediately diagnose the documentation health and status.
Full Customization
VisibleThread strengthens your documents by basing them on best practice guidelines customizable to suit your organization’s style.
Define different Best Practices for different styles of project. Each Best Practice offers guidance to practitioners. As you get closer to sign off, ensure that the right content is present by applying more rigorous Best Practice.
