Human Rights First: Asylum Report Generator

North Star

• A search tool to give a user-friendly view into a large dataset of asylum case decisions.
• Similar to the TRAC database—a popular existing tool, but with many limitations.
  • Generate a table of results, a real-time visualization of outcomes, and a real-time graph to represent what the trend looks like over time.
  • Show a heatmap where users can map out e.g., “Here are the 10 asylum regions with the highest or lowest grant rates.”
  • Need to be able to download search results.

Audiences

• Journalists
• Researchers
• General public (asylum seekers, activists, etc.)

Users

  • Display calendar dates vs. fiscal years in data (display “month and year” and “fiscal year” as separate search)
  • Can view and filter on pre-populated geographic regions based on sets of countries for search parameters
  • View results in a table and any relevant graphs
  • View percentage of cases that were granted based on currently displayed results
