What we solve

A program needs to show it works

Funders and oversight bodies want outcomes measured, not anecdotes — and the evaluation has to be designed before the data is collected.

The data is a mess before it's a dataset

Fragmented exports, inconsistent fields, undocumented exclusions, no reproducible cohort.

Nobody can tell if the AI should go live

Retrospective numbers look fine, but the deployment decision has no evidence behind it.

A model works here but not there

Performance drops in a new site, population or period — and nobody can say why.

The evaluation has to survive review

Methods, reporting and design that hold up to reviewers, funders and oversight.

The team is short one specialist

A research team, program or agency needs statistical, evaluation or model-evaluation depth for weeks, not a permanent hire.
