01
Open data infrastructure
A curated repository of datasets from trusted sources, cleaned and versioned so the next researcher starts where the last one left off.
Open data for the public interest
Democratizing data‑driven insights foreducators
A social data science research community, bridging the gap between data and action.
The Gap We Bridge
Data is abundant. Access to it, unevenly so.
3DL sits between the people who can analyse public data at scale and the people who most need the evidence.
The asymmetry
Analytical capacity concentrates in institutions with few incentives to open-source it. Mission-driven organisations have the questions but not the infrastructure.
What we build
Open datasets, lightweight analytics, and non-partisan reports, released under a public licence with the methodology attached to every number.
What changes
Educators teach from primary sources, policymakers cite evidence they can verify, researchers fork the code instead of rebuilding it.
What we make
Three pillars. One mission.
02
Accessible analytics
Dashboards that work without a data-science degree, so the question and the answer live on the same page.
03
Non-partisan reports
Research briefs, indices, and models built on public-interest data. Free to read, fork, and cite.
Project deep dive
UN country voting, mapped and opened.
One dataset, refreshed monthly. A dashboard any researcher can read. An alignment index and an annual report, all from the same source.
Who uses 3DL
Built for the people who turn evidence into action.
