Independent, evidence-based analysis from academic experts to help public and private organisations make better decisions

Who we are
What we do

Research & Evaluation

We carry out independent studies that examine how programmes, policies and institutions perform in practice. Our work combines qualitative depth with rigorous analysis, producing findings that hold up under scrutiny and support informed decision-making.

Policy Analysis & Development

We help organisations understand the consequences of policy choices and the environments in which they operate. Our analysis traces underlying structures, identifies workable options and supports the development of coherent, future-ready policy frameworks.

Data Analysis & Reporting

We work with quantitative and qualitative data to reveal patterns that might otherwise remain obscured. The aim is always clarity: reporting that translates complex material into findings that are intelligible and immediately usable.

Peer Review & Evaluation

We manage independent, double-blind peer review for academic publishers, coordinating expert evaluation of book proposals through a trusted network of scholars. Our service reduces editorial overhead, ensures disciplinary fit, and delivers timely, decision-ready reviews without compromising scholarly standards.

Ethical AI & Digital Governance

We provide independent assessments of algorithmic systems and digital infrastructures, paying attention to fairness and accountability. Our work supports responsible adoption of emerging technologies and helps clients build governance structures that stand up to public scrutiny.

Sectoral Insight

We are ideally positioned to offer research and analysis tailored to higher education, cultural institutions and other public-facing sectors. This includes mapping trends, understanding stakeholder needs and examining how broader social and technological shifts shape institutional priorities.
