Services

We work across three main areas.

Data science and analytics

We help organizations transform data into insights. Unit analysis and analytics over time.

  • Predictive and forecasting models
  • Causal inference and experiments
  • Model review and second opinions
  • Teaching and training

Scientific research

We support research projects from design through to analysis, working with research teams, labs, and researchers.

  • Study and sampling design
  • Statistical analysis and modeling
  • Co-authorship and acknowledgement

Academic review

We review academic work, including the methods, the statistics, and results presentation.

  • Manuscript and methods review
  • Thesis and dissertation advise

Clients

We work with two kinds of clients.

Organizations

Companies, public bodies, and non-profits that need answers from their data but don't have an in-house data science team.

We can take on a specific project, or work as an ongoing analytics resource. When a project ends, we hand over the code and documentation so your team can keep using it.

Researchers and individuals

Academics, graduate students, and researchers who require assistance with methods, statistics, and getting a manuscript ready.

We document our contribution, whether that means an acknowledgement or co-authorship.

How we work

Most projects follow the same four stages.

01

Understand the question

We start by getting clear on what you need to know and what a good answer would look like.

02

Review the data

We look at what data you have, where the gaps are, and what it can reasonably tell us.

03

Analyze and test

We choose appropriate methods, run the analysis, and check the results.

04

Report the findings

We explain what we found in plain language and hand over the work behind it so it can be checked or repeated.

About

Forschungswerk
German, noun

Forschung: research. Werk: works, or workshop.

It means something close to "research works". We think of analysis as a work that is built step by step.

  • We report what the analysis supports

    Objective results backed by data.

  • We show our working

    Every result comes with the code and notes behind it, so it can be reproduced.

  • We write clearly

    Our reports are meant to be understood by people who are not statisticians.

  • We are independent

    We promise you results that are grounded in science.

    What does Forschungswerk Analytics do?

    Forschungswerk Analytics is a research and analytics consultancy. We provide data science and analytics for organizations, and study design, statistical analysis, and academic review for individual researchers.

    Who do you work with?

    We work with two groups: organizations that need answers from their data but have no in-house data science team, and researchers such as academics, graduate students, and investigators who need help with methods, statistics, or publication.

    Can you review the statistics or methods in my thesis or manuscript?

    Yes. We review academic work before submission, covering study design, statistical analysis, and how results are presented, and we can help you respond to reviewer comments.

    Do you offer co-authorship, and how is your contribution credited?

    It depends on what you require. We document our contribution, from an acknowledgement for advisory work, to co-authorship where we contribute substantially.

    Can you help design a study before I collect data?

    Yes. We help with study and sampling design, power analysis and pre-registration, so the analysis is sound before any data is collected.

    Where are you based, and do you work remotely?

    We are based in the United States and work with organizations and researchers remotely.

    How do I start a project?

    Please send an email to hello@forschungswerk-analytics.com with your project scope, your data (if available), and your timeline. We usually reply within two business days.
