Cartography & Spatial Analysis
For clients who need a map rather than a method: applied spatial analysis undertaken on commission, translating demographic, environmental, and other geolocational data into a legible geography.
Engagements range from question-driven inquiries to exploratory spatial analysis, including demographic analysis for infrastructure planning and retail siting, environmental mapping for impact assessment or decision support, and the interrogation of a client's own data for the patterns already contained in it. Clients include local and regional government, place-based businesses and nonprofits for whom local conditions are the whole of the matter, and architects and designers who require a site-specificity finer than a standard base map provides. The product is precision beyond presentation, based on analysis that is as careful as its visualization.
Expertise & Advising
For clients who need a method rather than a map: bespoke geospatial analytics and research protocols, review and refinement of existing methodologies, or direct instruction of a client's staff in relevant techniques and emerging technologies.
Engagements include methodological review for research teams building their own geospatial capacity, protocol design for studies requiring a rigor the client's timeline would not otherwise accommodate, and training conducted in-house so that a client's staff can implement new methods moving forward. Clients tend to be organizations that already possess spatial data or the means to gather it, but lack the specific expertise required to put it to rigorous or new use. The product is an instrument and procedure: executable and replicable, built to outlast the engagement that produced it.
