Behirot
Behirot was built to collect published polls, review them before publication and present a transparent average, with the method and the source of every poll on the record.
Software system Status: Completed Independent
Workflow diagram
Purpose
Published polls are scattered across outlets and hard to compare. Readers need one place that shows them side by side, explains how any summary is calculated, and says clearly what it is not.
My Role & Leadership
Founder and principal technical developer. Founded Behirot, led the project and personally developed its technical implementation.
- Set the product direction and the editorial method.
- Designed the architecture and the publication workflow.
- Developed the technical implementation and deployed it publicly.
I developed the product independently: the database and the review workflow, the bilingual interface and the deployment.
How it works
Poll intake with human review before anything is published.
A published, documented averaging and apportionment method instead of an opaque model.
Provenance for every poll, plus a public corrections process with an audit log.
Bilingual right-to-left and left-to-right interface, with accessibility and privacy statements.
Key technologies
Outcomes and limitations
Launched publicly in Hebrew and English, with a published method and a public corrections process.
Known limits
Behirot summarises published polls. It is not a forecast, and this case study describes its method only, never results.
