Insights

OUR APPROACH

When we tackle a new project, we incorporate all relevant facets of community infrastructure. We begin by gathering and sifting through existing, large scale public data. At the same time we gather primary data directly from our project partners and other allies in the community: experts in sectors like local health, housing, transportation, education, public safety, environmental and others. Next, we merge all of this data into multidimensional, visual models to illuminate actionable opportunities, illustrate the connectedness of community inequities to the issue under the spotlight, and set priorities, so we can best set the project up for success and maximum impact. And all of our findings are made available to organizations who may benefit from the insights.

For an example of our approach in action, check out the ongoing Metrics that Matter Project first launched in 2019 to better demonstrate the interconnectedness of challenges and inequities between various public sectors.
