Your work is complex.
Your evaluation shouldn’t pretend it isn’t.
You’re navigating complexity, working across differences, adapting as you learn.
Your work doesn’t follow a straight line - and your evaluation shouldn’t either.
We design learning processes that honor complexity instead of flattening it. Processes where reflection fuels strategy, teams build the capacity to learn together, and equity is practiced, not just measured.
This is evaluation as a living practice, not a compliance task.
We don’t show up with a template or pre-determined framework. We show up with curiosity.
Together, we design evaluation and learning processes that:
Surface what matters, not just what’s easy to measure
Build your capacity, so learning becomes something you own, not outsource
Center equity as an ongoing practice, not a checkbox
Fuel strategy so insight actually shapes what you do next
This isn’t about proving impact to funders (though we can do that too). It’s about creating the conditions for your team to see more clearly, learn more deeply, and move forward with integrity.
Our Approach:
Living the Question
To “live the question” means staying curious about what’s emerging, making space for uncertainty, and trusting the wisdom that exists between people. It’s how we navigate complexity without oversimplifying it.
When we work together, we move from:
Reporting to reflection, making space for meaning, not just metrics
Proving to improving, seeing evaluation as fuel for learning and alignment
Certainty to curiosity, noticing patterns, relationships, and what’s shifting beneath the surface
This is evaluation as partnership. As practice. As a way of staying awake to your work.
Who This is For
This work is for organizations and networks who:
Are navigating complexity and need to learn as they go
Want evaluation to inform strategy, not just satisfy requirements
Believe equity has to be practiced in how they learn, not just what they measure
If that sounds like you, let’s talk!
Are ready to slow down enough to notice what matters
Want a thought partner, not a vendor
Ready to learn differently?
Evaluation doesn’t have to feel like compliance. It can be the thing that helps you see what you’ve been too close to notice.
