Work that fits the size of your organization, not the size of a consulting firm
Every engagement starts from the same question: what decision are you trying to make, and what would it take to make it with confidence? Most of that work is advisory — figuring out what's worth measuring and how to build toward it. Hands-on execution is available too, scaled to what actually makes sense for your team and budget.
Theory of Change & Measurement Design
Most logic models get written once, under a grant deadline, and never touched again — disconnected from what the organization actually tracks day to day. This starts there: a facilitated process to develop or refresh a clear theory of change with your program and leadership staff, then a straight answer on what you can realistically measure to prove it's working.
- Facilitated logic model / theory of change development with the people who run the programs
- Outcome and indicator selection tied to what you can realistically track, not an ideal you can't sustain
- A gap analysis: what you're already collecting vs. what you'd need to demonstrate impact
- A funder-ready document your team can reuse across grant applications, not a one-off deliverable
Population Health & Community Needs Analytics
A clear picture of who your organization serves, who you're missing, and where the biggest gaps between community need and program reach actually sit — using public data and your own program data to get there, however deep you want to go together.
- Catchment-area and demographic gap analysis
- Geographic and program-siting analysis
- Community needs assessments grounded in your actual service data, not just secondary sources
Outcomes & Program Evaluation
A clear-eyed read on what's actually working, and a measurement approach that holds up — to your board, to funders, and to your own honest sense of things. I help design it and make sense of it; how much of the day-to-day analysis runs through me versus your own team is a scoping conversation, not a given.
- Outcome measure selection and evaluation design, built around what your team can actually sustain
- Guidance and hands-on support interpreting results for grant reporting and board presentations
- Dashboards designed for your team to own — with as much or as little of the build coming from me as makes sense for your budget and capacity
Data Infrastructure & AI Readiness
A clear-eyed diagnosis of where your infrastructure actually needs to go — and a right-sized plan to get there, whether that means your team builds it, I build a piece of it, or some mix of both.
- Data pipeline and reporting infrastructure design
- AI tool evaluation and governance guidance
- Vendor and build-vs-buy assessments in plain language
Fractional Data Leadership & Coaching
For organizations that need ongoing analytical judgment but aren't ready for a full-time hire — advisory support, staff coaching, and hands-on capacity building so the skill stays inside your organization.
- Ongoing advisory retainer for leadership teams
- Staff coaching and internal capacity building
- Incubator and cohort-based technical assistance
