We help clients pause, take a deep breath, and learn. Our evaluations help clients identify their unique strengths, adapt to changing contexts, and reach their goals.
What we do:
Listen to what clients want and need
Use creative & respectful approaches
Use data to spark learning & action
Celebrate client "wins" and successes
With expertise in arts-based, qualitative, and quantitative methods, we use meaningful data to tell the story of what you are doing and why it matters.
As external consultants, we can support organizations with required or elective reporting.
Evaluation
What we don't:
Judge anyone for where they are at
Impose generic metrics of success
Recycle templates between clients
Exhaust or extractive data
Research thrives when those who should benefit from findings ask the questions, set the priorities, and control the process.
We help communities and organizations ask solid questions, design feasible studies, collect & analyze meaningful data, and uphold ethical principles and practices. By coaching clients in good data practices, we aim to work ourselves out of a job.
