The Gender Gap Grader toolkit is a set of open source and open APIs to support the gender data revolution. We would like to make it possible for ANYONE to run their own gender gap study, where it matters to THEM.
Currently, most companies and organizations produce aggregated statistics, which often masks more subtle differences. We make it possible to use any database with personal names (for example, a company organizational chart, a company wide LDAP directory with roles and resposibilities, etc.) to produce new disaggregated gender data that can be analyzed from all angles.
The Gender Gap Grader toolkit uses the API made by NamSor, the market leader in global name-to-gender classification, which covers not just the United-States but all regions of the World, alphabets and languages. It is free to use to classify up to 5000 names. The simplest way to append data to Google Sheets or Excel Sheets is to export your data to a CSV file (CSV UTF-8 for international names in non-LATIN alphabets) and then run it using the online CSV Tool.
