How we work
Our approach is designed to make development work more inclusive, more effective and more closely connected to better decisions.
Geospatial & advanced data analytics
We use GIS, spatial analysis, large datasets and advanced statistical techniques to reveal patterns that conventional analysis may overlook.
Human-centered AI & semantic intelligence
We integrate LLM-assisted evidence synthesis, semantic analysis and expert validation to identify patterns at scale without losing human context.
Integrated mixed-methods evidence
Across assignments, we combine quantitative, qualitative and administrative evidence to produce robust, triangulated and context-sensitive findings.
Systems thinking & adaptive learning
We examine causal pathways, relationships and feedback loops to understand how interventions operate within complex and changing systems.
Causal impact & counterfactual design
Our teams bring expertise in experimental and quasi-experimental designs, including RCTs, difference-in-differences, matching and regression discontinuity.
Participatory & human-centered inquiry
We routinely apply child-friendly, gender-responsive and rights-based methods, including outcome harvesting and most significant change.
