Tool Design
We work with you to design the tool that best fits your goals, from surveys to interview guides to other custom instruments.
Surveys
How we do it: We design surveys that make sense for your work and the communities you serve. That might mean identifying and adapting a validated tool, or it might mean designing something custom—something that’s built around your goals, your context, and your values
​
The value it brings: Finding tools that work for you and respect your clients is our priority. When a survey is flexible, appropriate, and aligned with your work, it becomes a stronger, more meaningful tool for learning.
Interview and Focus Group Protocols
How we do it: We start by understanding what you’re hoping to learn, then design interview and focus group protocols that are both effective and respectful of the people participating. Our goal is to help you gather meaningful insights in a way that fits your context and values
​
The value it brings: When protocols are designed around your goals and the context of the people you're hearing from, the insights are more useful, relevant, and grounded in real experiences.
Rubrics
How we do it: Anything in your logic model can be evaluated. We create rubrics that help you see where you are, where you want to go, and what to avoid along the way.
​
The value it brings: Having clear goals and parameters gives everyone a shared language and goal.
Data Tracking Templates
How we do it: We design data tracking strategies, templates, and tools tailored to your needs. If you’re unsure where to start with formal data tracking, we’ll help you figure it out.
The value it brings: By creating tracking systems that fit your workflow, we make sure data collection supports your work instead of creating extra burden.
