Evaluation & Insight

Most evaluation produces a report no one acts on. I design listening and measurement that ends in a decision: what to keep, what to cut, what to fund next. Grounded in the people the work is meant to reach, not just the people who fund it.

What's included

  • Focus group and interview design, facilitation, and multi-site fielding
  • Survey instrument design, administration, and analysis at scale
  • Mixed-methods analysis pairing what the numbers show with what participants actually said
  • Stakeholder listening sessions built so the people closest to the work shape the findings
  • Decision-ready briefs: findings, tradeoffs, and a recommended path forward
  • Publication and dissemination support when the findings should move a field

How the work runs

Three phases. Each one ends with something you can use, not just a conversation you had.

01

Frame

Start from the decision, not the data. What will change depending on what we find?

02

Listen

Field the instruments, run the groups, and gather evidence from the people it is about.

03

Translate

Turn findings into a recommendation with tradeoffs named, so leadership can act on it.

Evidence is only useful when someone can act on it. I write for the person who has to decide.
