Diagnosis & Analysis

Using rigorous research methods, we explore the unknown to uncover what truly matters. Through in-depth inquiry and evidence-based analysis, we reveal the hidden dynamics that shape diverse realities in scientific environments. Clearly describing organizational dynamics and identifying barriers and opportunities for change, our approach lays a strong foundation for decision-making and policy development grounded in intersectionality.

Our services:

Exploratory Studies are designed to uncover deeper insights and hidden dynamics within scientific environments, using qualitative and mixed-method approaches.

Through interviews, focus groups, observations, surveys, and integrated data analysis, we investigate complex questions that cannot be captured by numbers alone. This service helps identify emerging trends, understand diverse perspectives, and reveal institutional, operational, and cultural barriers or opportunities for equality work. By combining rich qualitative insight with quantitative evidence where appropriate, we provide a nuanced understanding that informs equality policies, strategic decisions, and actionable interventions.

Culture Mapping is a powerful service designed to help research groups or institutions understand how their internal culture operates in practice.

By systematically analyzing communication patterns, decision-making processes, collaboration styles, and workplace behaviors, we uncover the often-hidden dynamics that shape interpersonal relations and the work environment. This service provides a clear picture of strengths, challenges, and opportunities within the work culture, highlighting areas where diversity, equity, and intersectional practices can be strengthened. The insights gained through this service enable evidence-based strategies for building more inclusive, high-performing, and resilient scientific environments.

Critical Audit offers a deep analysis of institutional policies and research projects grounded in a fundamental question: Who benefits from them, and who does not?

Drawing on intersectional and critical analytical approaches, we examine how representation and participation are framed and enacted through these documents to reveal whose voices, perspectives, and experiences are centered or absent. The audit culminates in tailored recommendations that translate critique into action, supporting researchers and institutions in designing more equitable and impactful policies and projects.

Knowledge Curation transforms available information into meaningful insight.

We help researchers and institutions look at complex problems from new angles, offering thought-provoking perspectives that challenge assumptions and open space for innovation. Rather than providing generic data summaries, we select and synthesizes the most relevant evidence, theories, and examples from across disciplines and sources. We identify the frameworks and narratives that illuminate each issue, revealing not only what is known but also what is overlooked or undervalued. The result is a grounded, actionable knowledge base that deepens understanding, supports informed decision-making, and connects scientific inquiry with social impact.
