We help innovators in education, health, and work figure out what that is — and then we fund and staff the work to get it.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. The first takes ten minutes.
Implementation
Is it working as designed?
Do people use the solution the way it was meant to be used? Are the active ingredients actually in play? Use the right metrics to make sure your solution works the way it was designed.
RIGHT FOR YOU IF: You're not sure people engage the way you intend, and you benefit from knowing whether they do.
Correlation
Do outcomes track with use?
Is the way the solution is used linked to the outcomes it's designed to produce? Use correlational data to improve the product and signal effectiveness to users, buyers, and funders.
RIGHT FOR YOU IF: You can see how your solution is used, but you're not sure use is linked to outcomes you care about.
Impact
Is it making a difference?
Do people who use the solution show better outcomes than a comparison group? Use data to improve the product and signal effectiveness at the highest standard of evidence.
RIGHT FOR YOU IF: You can't credibly say whether your solution works. Testimonials aren't cutting it any longer.
