• Quantify damages using record-based methods with transparent, testable assumptions

• Prepare exhibits and summaries for mediation, arbitration, hearings, and trial

• Support expert reports and testimony with documented methods and sensitivity analysis

• Review opposing analyses and provide rebuttal and critique support when needed

What we need to start

Typical timeline

Most projects begin with scoping and a first pass at the data in week one. Typical timelines range from several weeks to a few months, depending on scope, data availability, review needs, and whether the work is broader, multi-phase, or ongoing.

Policy and programs

Program evaluation, cost-benefit analysis, and regulatory support

We help public agencies, nonprofits, and organizations in regulated settings evaluate programs and policy options with clear methods and usable outputs.

What we do

• Clarify the decision, the options under consideration, and the outcomes that matter

• Develop an analysis plan aligned with available data, timelines, and review requirements

• Estimate impacts where the evidence allows, and use transparent, well-documented comparisons where it does not

• Quantify tradeoffs, including costs and benefits, and test the assumptions that affect conclusions

• Deliver materials suitable for boards, funders, public meetings, and internal decision-making

Focus areas

• Program evaluation and impact analysis
  Measure results, identify what is working and for whom, and translate findings into practical improvements

• Policy analysis and option comparison
  Compare policy or program alternatives using a consistent framework so tradeoffs are clear and defensible

• Cost-benefit analysis
  Estimate and compare costs and benefits across options, document assumptions, and run sensitivity checks

• Regulatory impact and administrative support
  Economic analysis to support policy changes, regulatory review, and public-facing documentation when scrutiny is expected

• Workforce and job quality measurement
  Define and measure job quality, build repeatable indicators, and produce reporting by sector, occupation, or region to support workforce strategy and funding decisions

• Funding, grant, and accountability reporting
  Outcomes frameworks and reporting that align with funder requirements without overstating results

What you receive

• A clear scope and methods summary that explains what was done and why

• Results tables and visuals that decision-makers can use

• A stakeholder-ready summary, with a technical appendix when needed

• Documented assumptions and calculations so the work can be reviewed and updated

What we need to start

Typical timeline

Most engagements begin with scoping and an initial data review in the first week. Typical timelines range from several weeks to a few months, depending on scope, data availability, review needs, and whether the work is broader, multi-phase, or ongoing.
