Social Impact meets Social Science.

Thoughtful data collection and analysis performed by highly-trained social scientists.

Solutions designed in partnership with local stakeholders.

A research-led approach that turns context-rich findings into actionable strategies.

Why “research-led” strategy?

Being data-driven is not enough

because it starts with the question, “What do we know based on the data we have?” and then obscures responsibility if objectives are not met.

Being research-led means starting with the question, “What do we need to know?”

and then creatively using social science to get the best answers possible with the available resources.

Contextual Analytics

Know what’s happening.

Make a difference.

Contextual Analytics™ is a unique approach to strategy that brings quantitative analysis, ethnographic insights, and an expansive body of established social science together in the service of social impact.

This approach allows social innovators to see through the eyes of those they wish to serve, measure more effectively, and understand in-context social dynamics. This leads to human-centered solutions designed in collaboration with stakeholders.
