We pair deep domain expertise with three modern tools (software engineering, data science, and AI) to make sense of complex information and messy data. Clear communication, in writing and in data visualization, turns the resulting insights into action.
Featured research
A plumber's guide to making the reformed LIC-DSF run at scale
The IMF and World Bank propose greater analytical ambition. We ask whether the roughly 70 country teams that operate the framework can make it run, and identify four boring, doable, and cheap fixes.
Practice
Big problems demand better tools. Growing sovereign debt burdens drive budgets and capital flows, and the analytical infrastructure has not kept up. SovTech is the modern alternative. Its open-source ground floor, funded as a public good by philanthropic funders, gives the field a credible baseline so the conversations can move to a higher level. We build the tools and work with ministries of finance, international financial institutions, and other stakeholders. The mission: kill the analytical toil that buries smart teams in copy-paste, so they can spend their time on the analysis that matters, with the certainty these decisions demand.
Practice
Bespoke decision-grade analysis for institutional clients in international finance, public-sector and private-sector. We bring our domain expertise and our SovTech tooling to engagements where the work needs to be right and resources are valuable.
