Our Services
Whether you’re a university research office, community-based nonprofit, foundation program officer, or grassroots organization, we offer services to help you build research partnerships that are truly reciprocal, ethical, and impactful.
Our Approach
Our methodologies aren’t just best practices; they are born from rigorous academic scholarship. We build on established frameworks, including our own collaborative work defining the contours of CEnR, to ensure your strategy is credible, ethical, and sound.
We believe the best insights come from the community itself. Our process uses methods like collaborative mapping and Delphi validation to ensure stakeholder voices are not just heard but are central to defining success and measuring impact.
We transform complex relational data into clear, actionable intelligence. Using advanced techniques like correspondence and network analysis, we create intuitive visualizations that reveal hidden patterns and pinpoint key leverage points for maximizing your impact.
Raw data can be overwhelming and difficult to act on. We believe the most profound insights are useless if they aren’t understood. That’s why we use powerful visual metaphors to translate complex analytics into intuitive, actionable narratives.
