We bring contemporary data science and analytical tools to bear on complex problems.
What we do
We bring contemporary data science and analytical tools to bear on complex problems.
What we do
Predictive modeling, classification, clustering, and deep learning. From exploratory analysis to production-ready pipelines.
Rigorous program evaluation, causal inference, and evidence synthesis for public and social policy.
Interactive dashboards, publication-ready graphics, and data storytelling for technical and general audiences.
Spatial statistics, remote sensing, and GIS workflows. Environmental monitoring, urban analytics, and location intelligence.
Automated data collection, API integrations, and structured extraction from unstructured sources.
A/B testing frameworks, randomized controlled trials, and quasi-experimental methods for robust inference.
LLM-powered workflows, autonomous agents, and retrieval-augmented generation systems for enterprise applications.
Full-stack development of data-driven applications. Modern interfaces backed by robust APIs and databases.
Keynotes, panels, and workshops on climate, technology, public policy, and the future of data journalism.
Quantitative analysis with Gregg Colburn demonstrating that housing market conditions—not individual factors—explain regional variation in U.S. homelessness rates. Informed policy debates at the municipal, state, and federal level.
Seven years of interdisciplinary research synthesizing neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics to document the cognitive and neurological effects of climate change. A New York Times Editors' Choice.
Interdisciplinary alliance of neurologists, cognitive scientists, clinicians, and epidemiologists advancing research at the intersection of climate change and brain health. Affiliated with Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.
We partner with public agencies, non-profits, foundations, and mission-driven companies on projects that demand analytical rigor and intellectual honesty. Based in Seattle, we work with clients around the world.
The firm's managing director is Clayton Aldern, a data scientist and policy researcher. A Rhodes Scholar, he holds an M.Sc. in neuroscience and a master's in public policy from the University of Oxford.
Aldern has led data analysis and program evaluation for county-level homelessness initiatives, built award-winning data-journalism infrastructure at Grist, and serves as a research affiliate at the University of Washington's Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology. His applied research and data visualization have appeared in The Guardian, The Economist, Aeon, and on the U.S. Senate floor.
