Nature of Our Assignments

01

Baseline, Midline & Endline Evaluations

Comparative cross-sectional and pre–post designs with matched samples, project and non-project comparison villages, and statistically defensible sampling.

02

Impact & Outcome Evaluations

Theory-based evaluation with effect-size estimation — paired t-tests, Cohen's d, matched student cohorts — so results stand up to funder and academic scrutiny.

03

Landscape & Diagnostic Studies

Large-scale secondary data analysis (UDISE+, NFHS-5, ASER, NSS, Census, state Economic Survey) triangulated with KIIs, FGDs and remote surveys to build state-level evidence bases.

04

Vulnerability & Targeting Frameworks

Composite scoring models that turn administrative data into practical targeting tools — identifying which schools, blocks or households need intervention first.

05

MEL System Design & Capacity Building

Indicator frameworks, monitoring protocols and data quality systems, plus training for programme teams and emerging evaluators.

06

Data Science for the Social Sector

Python-based analysis, sentiment analysis of qualitative feedback, aptitude and assessment analytics, and Kobo Toolbox digital data collection at scale.
