Program evaluation and evidence strategy for health, human services and the organizations that fund them. We help you see what's working and make the case to the people who decide what comes next.
Every program comes down to three questions: is it working, how do we know, and who needs to hear it? We help you answer all three honestly, including when the answer is "not yet."
How we help
You have quality metrics, outcome reports, satisfaction surveys, maybe a white paper or two. We sort out what that evidence can honestly support and build the case for a specific audience: an agency, a funder, a board or a buyer. You also leave knowing what evidence would make an even stronger case next year.
Understand what is working, for whom, and why. Rigorous methods matched to the question, from randomized trials to developmental evaluation, with outcomes that matter to the people paying for the program and findings written so the people who act on them can.
Curriculum built with the people who will teach it, delivered in rooms, online and through trainers we prepare. Simple measures from the first session, so you know whether it changed anything.
Research on what works, goals and measures of success, and a rollout plan, from the first draft to launch day.
Listening sessions, surveys and data review that show where the real gaps are before you build anything.
Workgroups and planning sessions that bring the people who deliver and use a program into its design.
Current- and future-state maps, service blueprints and job aids that fit into the way the work actually gets done.
We help teams try practical uses of AI in analysis and reporting, with human judgment at the center. It runs through our evaluation work and through FieldLight Lab, and it never replaces the conversation with the people who run the program.
