Our products & services
Most communities already have data — they just don’t have the time to make sense of it. We help with both.
We design and analyze youth health surveys (YRBS, YHS, and custom surveys), parent and caregiver surveys, and one-time data collection projects. Then we turn everything into clean reports, trend visuals, and talking points that you can use right away.
If you're a health system, public health department, or municipality, you know CHNAs can be overwhelming. We make the process a lot simpler.
We pull together the quantitative data, the qualitative voices, the social determinants of health, and the priorities - and then package it in a way that feels clear, practical, and community-focused.
We work with Drug-Free Communities (DFC) coalitions, MassCALL3 programs, and other grant-funded initiatives to track progress, run evaluations, and complete reporting — without all the stress.
If you need logic models, outcome measures, or an extra pair of hands for data work, we're a great fit.
If you’ve ever thought, “I know we have data on this… somewhere,” a dashboard is probably the fix.
We build simple, sustainable dashboards - usually in Looker Studio, sometimes in PowerBI or Tableau - that help you track health trends, survey results, or grant activity in one place. They’re built so you can update them yourself (but we can maintain them too).
Some towns want us “on call” for the year. Others want help with a specific project. Our municipal data packages give you flexible, predictable support for whatever comes up.
Not every community project is a public health project - but most still need good data.
We run surveys and research for organizations that want to understand their residents better but don’t have the staff time.
Our values
It’s not ours, and we’ll never withhold it.
It should be accessible and easily understood.
We only collect data that can be used efficiently and effectively. Nothing more, nothing less.
We treat everyone from whom we collect data with respect.
