Stakeholder trackers are often complex, with many modules to learn and the need to data enter! 


Instead, use Middle Ground to harness the power of safe, responsible AI to host or integrate your stakeholder map, including assigning engagements and tracking outcomes.


Middle Ground can also "ingest" your consultation records automatically using AI, eliminating the need for data entry while still empowering you to edit.

When you respond to stakeholders, you can do it within Middle Ground itself, using previous messaging or correspondence as the basis of your response, which Middle Ground can “compose” for you.

Middle Ground builds trust by offering users answers based on documents that you provide about your project, such as the environmental assessment documentation that’s typically uploaded to a major regulator or permitting agency website, drastically reducing the chance of hallucination.


Searching with Google may take hours to find the answer and it may not be in plain language. 


ChatGPT and other LLMs can quickly provide easy-to-read information, but they rely on their own training data and internet research to provide answers. Middle Ground sources its answers only from the documents you provide, complete with citations.
