AI Processing for Causal Map Workflows and for Causal Map 3 with AI enabled

Causal Map 3 does not have AI enabled by default. AI is enabled only by specific agreement.
  • Data is processed using a variety of LLM APIs, by default OpenAI APIs, including but not limited to gpt-4o. Details for other models are displayed within the app.
  • Each model use is recorded internally.
  • OpenAI retains API data for a maximum of 30 days for compliance purposes. OpenAI declares that API users retain ownership of their data, and API requests are not used for training models (we are a Tier 5 OpenAI customer).
  • Clients are asked not to upload data including personally identifying information.
  • Causal Map Ltd. adheres to established qualitative research protocols to limit the AI's freedom in making evaluative judgments, thereby aiming for transparency and accuracy in the AI's interpretation of causal claims.
  • Ethical considerations include careful attention to the types of data processed and ensuring the AI's analysis reflects respondent views without systematic bias or undue influence.
