KO LAB ultimately aims to develop a data analysis system for evidence-based policy research. For a evidence-based policy, good use of evidence is needed along with the production of good evidence. In order to make good use of evidence, the necessary evidence for administrative problems must be used, and the evidence should not fall into the trap of extreme positivism that evidence defines administrative problems. Therefore, the evidence-based policy needs to be formulated as a sequential process of first diagnosing the problems that we encounter, and then analyzing the selected indicators in an appropriate way and interpreting and sharing the results of analysis.

Although problem definition should precede, it is also important to find evidence in a timely manner when faced with a problem. To that end, KO LAB intends to organize the rationale for solving the problem by establishing various data map.
