Crowdsourcing → Machine learning → Micro, macro policy evidence Premise uses a clever combination of machine learning and street-level human intelligence; their economic data helps organizations measure the impact of policy decisions at a micro and macro level. @premisedata recently closed a $50M US funding round.

This cloud-based engine from @evideraglobal supports analyses of real-world evidence sources, including claims, EMR, and registry data.
