This is the SloAI map, start to finish
Slovenia's AI association sent us a spreadsheet. Six steps later they had a public map their members, the press, and investors could all use.
Here is every step, using their real data.
A real build, from their spreadsheet to their launch.
1 · Your list
What they sent us
A list of member companies across a few rough categories. Incomplete, out of date, and nobody's favourite job to maintain. That is the normal starting point, and it is enough.
You do not need to tidy it up first. This is what we start with.
2 · Cleaned up
Duplicates gone, gaps filled
We merged the duplicate records, standardised the fields, filled in what was missing, and added companies that belonged but were not on the list. You get this cleaned dataset back whatever else you do with it.
One list you can trust, and hand to your CRM.
3 · Categories
Grouped by what members actually do
We build the categories from the membership itself, not from a generic industry list. Members recognise where they sit, and so does everyone searching. You can edit them later without calling us.
Everyone finally describes the sector the same way.
4 · Whole sector
See your whole sector on one screen
How big the membership really is, which categories are crowded, and where you have almost nobody. That last one is your recruitment list, and your next sponsor conversation.
Shows you the gaps, not just the members.
5 · One company
Zoom from the whole sector down to one company
A journalist can start at the sector and land on the right member in a few clicks. So can a prospective member deciding whether to join, and an investor deciding who to call.
Nobody has to already know a company's name to find it.
6 · Search
"Who does medical imaging?"
Anyone can ask in plain language and get a straight answer from your membership, in seconds, without emailing three volunteers. And the map lives on your domain, under your name — map.sloai.org, map.croai.org. The cleaned data is yours to keep.
