Good to know before we start.

Three kinds: a dataset that must be analysed correctly and explained clearly, a research or survey study that needs to be designed, analysed and confidently presented, and a business or project decision that needs evidence behind it.

Will you do the work for me?

We keep you in the driver's seat. Depending on the engagement we coach and review, support the analysis, help with design, or edit existing drafts without changing your arguments or findings. The aim is that you understand and can defend the work yourself.

How is my data protected?

Data and documents are shared only with the consultants assigned to your project. Non-disclosure terms are available on request, and raw data files are kept only as long as needed, then securely deleted on request.

Which tools and methods do you use?

R, SPSS and Excel for analysis, plus time-series and econometric modelling (ARIMA/SARIMA, GARCH, VAR/VECM, ARDL), survey platforms such as Google Forms, and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for collaboration and reporting.

Which sectors do you work in?

Economics and finance, public health, governance, human resources and social research, among others, for academic institutions, corporates and SMEs, government and public agencies, NGOs and individual researchers.
