- A report will come into the Ushahidi deployment in plain text without coordinates, translations or categories. Behind the scenes, this message is passed off to CrowdFlower for processing. Once consensus is reached in CrowdFlower, it is passed back to the Ushahidi deployment and the report is automatically updated with the structured data. Depending on the volumes of volunteers and messages, this whole process can take as little as 1 or 2 minutes. [1] [2]
