How it works

From data to decision
in three steps.

A typical engagement runs six to ten weeks end-to-end. We scope tightly, work transparently, and leave you with both the answer and the tooling to repeat it next quarter.

Step 01

Data Intake

A scoping call with your team. We sign mutual NDAs, agree on success metrics, and securely ingest your data — whether that's a Raiser's Edge export or fifteen years of spreadsheets.

Mutual NDA & data-handling plan
Scoped statement of work
Secure data transfer
Step 02

Analyze

A team of 4–6 student analysts cleans, models, and visualizes. Weekly check-ins. A faculty advisor reviews methodology. You see the work in progress, not just the final slide.

Reproducible analysis notebooks
Step 03

Deliver

A board-ready report, an interactive dashboard, and a 60-minute working session with your team. Plus the underlying code, so your next analyst can pick up where we left off.

Source code & documentation
What we deliver

Three practice areas. One outcome:
decisions you can defend.

Every engagement is staffed by a team of 4–6 student analysts under a faculty advisor and a senior project lead. Methodology is documented. Code is yours to keep.
