CASE STUDY

From 200+ Questions to 35: How 15xBetter Transformed First Nations Inclusion Assessments

Turning policy compliance into measurable cultural inclusion with intelligent automation

The Organization

15xBetter is a consulting firm helping large Australian companies assess and improve how they support and integrate First Nations people within their organizations. Their mission is to build culturally respectful workplaces through policy alignment, employee engagement, supplier inclusion, and leadership representation—much like ESG frameworks, but focused specifically on First Nations inclusion.

The Challenge

The assessment process was data-heavy and time-consuming, creating significant friction for both clients and consultants:

200+ Questions required per assessment
30+ PDF documents uploaded per company

The result: Slow insights, delayed action, and frustrated stakeholders spending weeks on manual data entry and document review.

The Sopact Solution

Automated Document Intelligence

Sopact's Intelligent Cell extracts 120+ data points directly from company policies and uploaded PDFs, eliminating the need for manual review.

How it works: Companies upload policy documents, governance frameworks, and supplier agreements. Sopact's AI reads, categorizes, and scores content against First Nations inclusion criteria—instantly.

Streamlined 2-Stage Process

  • Stage 1: Automated document collection and data extraction—no manual input required
  • Stage 2: Only 35 targeted questions asked, focused on areas not covered by documents

Result: 80% reduction in assessment time for both companies and consultants.
