Research, Policy, & Public Impact Advisory

Our service ensures that research activities are rigorous, ethical, and impactful, while also being understandable and useful to non-academic audiences. We support organizations and initiatives in crafting research frameworks, defining methodologies, and establishing metrics that align with their goals and communities.

Our team bridges the gap between technical research and real-world application, translating dense findings into practical tools, accessible reports, and narrative formats that drive action. This includes support for ethics reviews, logic models, and collaborative stakeholder involvement to ensure research is inclusive and trustworthy.

From short-term evaluations to long-term studies, we make sure your research is thoughtfully designed and clearly communicated, so the insights reach the people who need them and lead to meaningful action.

Technology governance analysis helps organizations and communities understand and shape how technologies are adopted, managed, and regulated within their systems. This includes evaluating issues such as data governance, digital rights, algorithmic accountability, procurement ethics, and infrastructure standards.

We examine the social, legal, and organizational dimensions of technology decisions to ensure they are aligned with public interest values such as transparency, equity, sustainability, and innovation. Whether you are navigating the adoption of AI tools, creating responsible data sharing agreements, or building internal digital policy frameworks, we offer research-informed guidance rooted in global best practices and interdisciplinary thinking.

The deliverable is typically a governance framework, audit, or set of policy recommendations that can be integrated into broader organizational strategies, though they vary depending on the scope of the project and needs of the client.

This service supports the development and implementation of digital tools and data initiatives that improve transparency, engagement, and service delivery in the public interest. We work with organizations to co-design tools, platforms, and datasets that empower citizens, improve government performance, or foster innovation ecosystems.

Our work includes advising on data collection, licensing, privacy, and user interface design to ensure accessibility and usefulness. We emphasize participatory approaches that involve end-users and stakeholders throughout the design process, ensuring tools are responsive to real needs. Deliverables may include project plans, stakeholder maps, data portals, or lightweight prototypes that help your team test ideas and demonstrate impact.
