Quality Assessment
Quality Assessment
If you have existing data you plan to use, the best place to start is assessing its quality.
Bad data can lead to costly mistakes, missed opportunities, and lost trust with your supporters.
High-quality data empowers you to make smarter decisions, tell your story with confidence, and measure your success accurately.
In just 1-2 months, we’ll evaluate your data and provide you with a straightforward report outlining clear, actionable solutions.
This essential first step will set you on the path to using your data effectively to support your goals and achieve greater impact.
Data Strategy Design
Data Strategy Design
If you do not have existing data you plan to use, we’ll start by collaborating on a data strategy to enable your goals.
Without a clear data strategy, it’s difficult to make informed decisions, track progress, build relationships, or communicate your impact effectively.
A tailored data strategy will empower your organization to use data in smarter, more efficient ways that drive growth and success.
Over the next 2-12 months, we’ll work together to design a strategy specific to your needs.
You’ll receive a comprehensive blueprint, and I’ll assist with the initial setup to ensure your team is positioned to succeed.
Data You Can Trust
Data You Can Trust
If your existing data needs cleaning, we'll collaborate to transform messy data into a useful asset that empowers you to make informed actions and increase your impact.
Quality Data = Quality Insights
Inaccurate, disorganized, or incomplete data can slow progress, hinder your ability to make informed decisions, and make it difficult to measure success.
Over the next 1-6 months, we’ll clean and optimize your data, ensuring it supports your goals.
You’ll also receive a customized plan for maintaining data quality moving forward for long-term success.
Analysis & Storytelling
Analysis & Storytelling
If you want to translate your data into strategic actions and communicate your impact, Analysis & Storytelling will help you extract valuable insights and present them in a way that resonates with your audience.
Data Analysis supports strategic decisions, trend spotting, and building stronger relationships.
Without clear, engaging storytelling, your data may go unnoticed, even when it has the potential to drive meaningful action.
Over the next 1-3 months, we’ll collaborate to analyze your data and translate the findings.
You'll receive a polished, compelling report that tells the story of the results and you can confidently share with your supporters.
