A promising idea.
A stronger case for action.
Turn your program idea into a clear, evidence-backed project brief for planning, conversations with partners, and funding applications.
Evidence you can put to work.
For organizations with a specific project question and limited time to research it. We agree on the scope before work begins, ensuring a shared understanding of what the brief will cover.
A clear picture of the need
Relevant public data and research, with attention to who is affected and where evidence is limited.
Lessons from comparable programs
Selected examples, what they suggest, and what may need to change for your context.
A focused project description
A concise explanation of your proposed activities, intended participants, and expected outcomes.
Practical evaluation indicators
A starting set of indicators to help you plan how to assess progress.
Sources you can follow
A reference list and links, so your team can trace the evidence behind the brief.
From your question to your next step.
Scope the question
We discuss your idea, audience, and intended use in one initial conversation.
Research and interpret
Public sources are reviewed, relevant examples compared, and findings assessed for your context.
Refine the brief
You receive a concise draft and one round of revisions within the agreed scope.
Suggested starting scope: a five-page brief, plus references, one initial conversation, and one revision. Timing and a fixed fee are confirmed in your proposal before work starts.
Our approach
Human judgment at the centre
AI tools may help organize information and prepare drafts. Source verification, interpretation, and final recommendations remain human responsibilities.
Privacy built into the scope
This service starts with public sources and a project-level discussion. Please leave out identifiable participant information and confidential files when making an inquiry. Any additional information needs are agreed separately.
Before we begin
