Interested in finding answers to important questions and increasing your knowledge base? We help our clients turn abstract questions into concrete, measurable outcomes and tangible results. Through the development of rigorous research designs, we help our clients find empirical evidence to support their goals, policies, programs, and other initiatives. We provide services to assist with every stage of the research process.

Data

Data are everywhere. While numbers comprise a large portion of what our clients want to get a better grasp on, there are many other forms of data that are extremely useful, including text, images, videos, and recordings. Varied and voluminous, data are often messy, complex, and ambiguous. Sound overwhelming? That’s where we come in.

We source all relevant data, clean and organize it, then analyze and translate these data into easily digestible information.

We provide our clients with knowledge about using their data, which gives our clients the power to gain valuable insights into their organization or business, as well as how to best attain future goals and pursue different endeavours.

Think of us as your secret weapon, helping you transform the data that surround you into your most formidable business tool.

Whether you are a business owner, policymaker, or a program funder, planner and/or manager, at some point in time you will need to be able to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of a program, policy, initiative or intervention. At Dawson Analytics, we help our clients answer important questions about the inner workings and effectiveness of their programs: What is the nature and scope of the problem the program is designed to address? Are the interventions likely to ameliorate the problem(s)? Are the clients satisfied with the services provided? Is the program reaching its goals? Is the program cost effective? Tailoring our evaluation services to examine each program’s unique circumstances, we help our clients obtain information to support decisions concerning the continuity, improvement, expansion, or curtailing of existing programs, as well as to determine the utility and feasibility of new programs or initiatives.

Dawson Analytics also assists with the creation or revision of policy. Dawson Analytics works with clients to ensure their policies align with organizational values and goals, and are evidence-informed. Applying a Gender-Based Analysis+ lens to our work, we also help our clients to ensure their policies and procedures are also equitable and free of unintended bias or discrimination.
