About Us

Our team is comprised of four senior researchers that are driven to create meaningful change. Our projects are chosen based on mission compatibility. Our work is guided by the American Evaluation Association’s Evaluation guidelines of
  • Systematic Inquiry: Evaluators conduct data-based inquiries that are thorough, methodical, and contextually relevant,
  • Competence: Evaluators provide skilled professional services to stakeholders,
  • Integrity: Evaluators behave with honesty and transparency in order to ensure the integrity of the evaluation,
  • Respect for People: Evaluators honor the dignity, well-being, and self-worth of individuals and acknowledge the influence of culture within and across groups, and
  • Common Good and Equity: Evaluators strive to contribute to the common good and advancement of an equitable and just society.
