Meet Dr. Chen

Dr. Chen is a Senior Policy Researcher. She specializes in housing policy and has spent the last decade translating complex economic research into practical policy recommendations for county and city governments.

The Problem

Dr. Chen was drowning in information scattered across PDFs, meeting notes, and various research databases. Every new project meant compiling research from scratch, even when she'd researched similar topics before.

"I knew I had encountered this data point before, probably in multiple places, but I was spending more time hunting for information than actually analyzing it. The worst part was knowing my past research could inform my current work, but it was a needle in a haystack among all of my documents."

With Liminary as a Partner

Dr. Chen used Liminary to save all her research and notes into one place. As she worked, Liminary automatically identified connections between her current housing affordability project and her previous work on zoning reform. It surfaced relevant findings from a study she'd analyzed six months ago and helped to highlight contradictions between different data sources she needed to address.

The Transformation

Instead of manually cross-referencing dozens of documents, Dr. Chen could focus on synthesis and analysis. Liminary helped her quickly recall her thinking from past projects, allowing her to make her current project's recommendations even more nuanced and impactful.

Success

Today, Dr. Chen completes her research in less than half the time it used to take her, while producing more thorough, well-grounded policy briefs that draw on her full body of research.
