A research and consulting collective built on freedom, curiosity and rigor: for work that matters and solutions that last.

Because better answers come from curiosity, not convention.

Rigor without the theatre.
We started with a choice: to create space for freedom, ideas, and meaningful work. From that choice grew a collective where rigor could exist without joylessness, and ambition without losing perspective. Rigor isn’t performance: it is clarity, discipline, and results that stand outside the deck.

Excellence that stays human.
We built a nurturing environment where high standards are matched by fairness, and expertise is balanced by empathy. For us, successful outcomes endure when the people behind them do too.

Freedom to leap and space to learn.
We wanted space to try things that don’t always make it through committee rooms. Experimentation is the core of how we move from ideas to impact and through it. This freedom gives us, and our partners, the ability to explore, discover, and learn our way to better answers.

Serious impact delivered with spirit.
We know complex problems rarely have neat solutions. We take pride in bringing clarity to complexity, and in doing so, providing answers that work on the ground as well as in models.

From consulting giants to multi-laterals and government bodies, our collective brings experience delivering impact for leading institutions.

Work on your own terms, too.
