The Approach

How we think about problems differently

We don't just replicate—we create. You come at us with a problem, and we're here to help solve it.

We Create What Doesn't Exist

Novel methodologies. Data where there was none. The Housing Precarity Risk Model started with 600+ variables and distilled them to actionable insight. When the data you need doesn't exist, we build it.

Natural language processing on court records Bayesian predictive models Cross-sector data integration

We Make Science Digestible

Heavy-hitting analytical tools compiled into reports that decision-makers can act on. Complex research translated for city councils, state legislators, and community advocates—without losing rigor.

Policy briefs for legislators Interactive dashboards Testimony and presentations

We Protect Before We Extract

Privacy beyond compliance. Community trust as the foundation, not an afterthought. Local and offline AI options when cloud solutions put communities at risk. This isn't about checking boxes—it's about earning the right to work with sensitive data.

Enhanced privacy protections Community consent frameworks Local-first technology

We Build With, Not For

We leave partners more capable than we found them. Training, capacity building, and knowledge transfer are built into every engagement. The goal isn't dependency—it's distributed expertise.

Our Capabilities

The tools and methodologies we bring to every engagement.

Data Creation

When critical questions can't be answered with existing data, we design partnerships that generate new knowledge.

  • Longitudinal study design
  • Administrative data linkage
  • Survey methodology

Predictive Analytics

We build models that identify risk before it becomes crisis, enabling proactive intervention.

  • Machine learning models
  • Bayesian inference
  • Risk stratification

Policy Translation

Research findings only matter if decision-makers can act on them. We make the invisible undeniable.

  • Legislative testimony
  • Interactive visualizations
  • Decision dashboards

Capacity Building

We leave partners more capable than we found them, with sustainable skills and systems.

  • Training workshops
  • Documentation & guides
  • Ongoing support
