Research & Evaluation

- We've done the work! -

Conducting high-quality research to inform direction and innovation.

Our focus is simple: customized research to maximize insight. Whether you need a pilot study, a randomized design, or a community-based collaborative approach, we tailor studies to your specific questions and context.

With over 25 years of experience in both quantitative and qualitative methods, we’ve led studies on organizational practices, educational strategies, policy impact, assessment validity, and cognitive abilities, among others—always highlighting findings you can use to make meaningful decisions.

Assessing programs and systems to support continuous improvement and accountability.

- Do you need to know if a new direction or initiative is working?
- Is your signature program continuing to create impact?
- Curious if your internal systems are boosting efficiency?

We offer short-term implementation checks to long-term impact evaluations that ensure alignment with your mission through solid logic models. We design evaluations that meet funder expectations (from private foundations to federal agencies) while providing you with practical, evidence-based recommendations grounded in program evaluation standards, including Universal Design Principles and Equitable Evaluation practices. As an outcome, we provide concrete advice on where to devote your time and effort to drive improvement.
