Use data to explore, learn, and innovate.

You have a big question – something you’ve been curious about, a challenge you want to explore, or a story you want to document.

Maybe you’re designing a new program and want insights from your community. Perhaps you need to gather feedback from key groups on an issue. Or maybe there’s a historical question you’ve always wanted to investigate.

Whatever your focus, you know this project requires time, expertise, and resources to bring it to life – and you can’t do it alone.

With over 20 years of experience in research and evaluation across multiple sectors, we’ll help you design and implement a custom project that uses data for discovery, learning, and impact. Whether you’re conducting a community assessment, designing a program, or using collective storytelling, we’ll create a project tailored to your needs – drawing from a range of methods and disciplines to turn data into insight and action.

Evaluation can take many forms. These projects are focused collaborations designed to help you rethink how evaluation can serve your community and organization.

Working together, we’ll design and implement a custom project that aligns with your goals, whether that means exploring a current issue, documenting an important history, or planning for the future.

Your project, your focus

Evaluation can be applied in countless ways. Projects may focus on:

  • Planning for the future – understanding needs and resources for new initiatives
  • Historical documentation – capturing an organization’s history and evolution
  • Community engagement – gathering feedback to shape programs and policies
  • Collective storytelling – commemorating milestones or raising awareness

And much more – the possibilities are limitless.

  • Interviews, focus groups, and observations
