A concise summary detailing what this solution is, why it matters, and who it is designed to help.
Study Protocols & Trial Design
We design rigorous, feasible study protocols that generate decision-grade evidence in real-world settings.
Overview
We design rigorous, feasible study protocols that generate decision-grade evidence in real-world settings.
From observational studies to pragmatic and hybrid trial designs, we align the research question, endpoints, and analysis plan so results are transparent, reproducible, and ready to inform programs, products, and policy.
Deliverables
A list of tangible outputs and concrete products clients receive upon completion of the engagement.
- Protocol & SAP — We deliver a clear protocol and pre-specified analysis plan (SAP) that guides the entire study process.
- Ethics/IRB — We prepare IRB/ethics-ready documentation and support submissions and responses, either directly or alongside partner institutions.
- Data Collection— We design tools, variable specifications, and QA/QC procedures, and can lead data collection or coordinate partner-led execution.
- Analysis & Reporting— We produce decision-ready analyses, figures, and technical reporting, with manuscript-ready materials where appropriate.
- Implementation Playbook — We translate findings into practical recommendations and playbooks for real-world adoption.
Methods
The specific scientific approaches, analytical techniques, and standards used to execute the work.
- Study Design — We select fit-for-purpose designs, including observational, pragmatic, hybrid, and trial-ready approaches.
- Quasi-Experimental — We apply methods like DiD, ITS, and synthetic control when randomization is neither feasible nor ethical.
- Endpoints — We define clinically meaningful outcomes, measurement windows, and analytic assumptions up front.
- Sampling and Precision — We support sample size and precision planning, including cluster and pragmatic settings when relevant.
- Mixed Methods — We strategically combine quantitative and qualitative approaches for a richer, more comprehensive understanding of effects.
- Data Quality & Reproducibility — We set QA/QC rules, documentation standards, and version-controlled workflows so outputs are transparent and audit-ready.
Metrics we track
The key performance indicators and measurable outcomes used to evaluate success and demonstrate impact.
- Delivery & Quality — We track timelines, milestone completion, and data quality (completeness, consistency, QA/QC flags).
- Fidelity & Robustness — We monitor protocol adherence (when relevant) and complete planned sensitivity checks.
- Clinical Outcomes — We measure pre-specified endpoints and biomarkers aligned to the protocol (e.g., HbA1c, BP, LDL-C, weight/adiposity).
- Utilization & Cost — We track resource use and costs to quantify value and ROI where relevant.
- Quality of Life/PROs — We capture patient-reported outcomes and quality of life when relevant.
- Equity — We assess subgroup performance when appropriate to support real-world, equitable decisions.
