Practical help in three areas

Many teams know AI could save them time but aren't sure where to start or what's safe. I help you choose the right tools, set clear rules for using them, and organize the documents and know-how your team depends on.

AI readiness assessment

A review of your workflows, data, and risks, with a prioritized list of where AI will help most.

Tool setup and staff training

Configuration of the tools you choose and hands-on sessions built around your team's real tasks.

AI use policy

A plain-language policy covering approved tools, data privacy, review, and disclosure.

Knowledge systems

Shared drives, SOPs, and onboarding materials organized so people can find what they need.

A good fit ifstaff are already experimenting with AI on their own, or key knowledge lives in a few people's heads and inboxes.

Good decisions and strong proposals rest on good evidence. I produce research that is rigorous, clearly written, and sized for the people who need to read it.

Research briefs

Short, sourced briefs on a policy question, written for leadership, boards, or partners.

Landscape scans

A map of the organizations, funders, policies, and gaps in your field.

Literature reviews

A synthesis of the academic and practitioner evidence on what works.

Grant evidence and needs sections

Data-backed problem statements and evidence sections for funding proposals.

A good fit ifyou have a grant deadline coming up, are entering a new issue area, or need an outside view before a strategic decision.

Programs work best when the logic is clear and the day-to-day systems are simple. I help you design programs, measure what matters, and document how the work gets done.

Program and logic-model design

A theory of change and logic model that connect activities to the outcomes you report on.

Workflows and metrics

Mapped processes and a small set of indicators your team can track without extra burden.

Staff and volunteer onboarding

Checklists, documentation, and scheduling systems that get new people productive quickly.

Operations playbooks

Written guides for how recurring work is done, so it doesn't depend on any one person.

A good fit ifyou're launching a new program, growing your volunteer base, or preparing for a funder's reporting requirements.
