Problem Framing
We'll help you refocus your question through an anthropological lens to identify all the possible latent social factors at play.
Our experts will work with you to:
- Refine the scoping for your project to consider all potential effects along social dimensions
- Review the feasibility of that scope with respect to practical sources of data, ethical and professional standards, and your organizational constraints
- Identify potential stakeholders
- Conduct background research and thorough literature review
Exploratory Data Analysis
Once we've refined the question and identified its social scope, we can provide robust analytical data exploration to:
- Evaluate data sources, diversity, and relevance
- Identify patterns and structure of relations
- Detect communities and clusters within data
- Assess underlying processes
- Recommend data and network representation strategies
Cause and Effect
Our expertise in social processes, interactions, and institutions can allow deeper analyses of causal relationships between socially organized patterns.
Combining the original project framing and data analyses, we will:
- Explore root causes and structuring relationships
- Distinguish between structured patterns and structuring processes
- Provide proof of concept modeling of those processes
- Identify analytical methods for hypothesis testing and evaluation
Ethical Analysis
Ethical integrity is both your priority and ours! We will not move forward with a project without performing a full consideration and communication of any ethical concerns and potential pitfalls.
At every step, we will:
- Research best practices in the question domain
- Assess ethical implications of the work, data, methods, and output
- Recommend strategies of reporting and monitoring that best practices are maintained
- Identify areas for "future-proofing" related practices to ensure continuous improvement
