Services include
We describe and summarize data to help you make informed decisions based on data-driven insights. Here we’ll identify patterns and trends, identify cause-and-effect relationships between variables (with such methods as regression and correlation analysis), and forecast future trends by analyzing past and current data.
We identify gaps, successes, and areas of improvement in program implementation to determine if a program or project is achieving its goals. Here we’ll determine whether your program is delivering its intended outcomes to help improve your program's effectiveness overall. This ongoing monitoring and evaluation enables organizations to measure impact and continuously improve program delivery.
We assist organizations who want to understand and improve the quality, fidelity, and success of programs. These may be new, established, or planned programs. We investigate the barriers and enabling contexts that lead to successes and challenges of programs and organizations. By evaluating their goals, contexts, and implementation using mixed research methods, we identify strategies and supports needed for success.
We assess the economic feasibility and efficiency of a project, public policy, investment, or new venture. By evaluating the economic costs and impacts, we can then help you identify beneficial alternatives.
