Some stuff on our minds lately:

White House big data reports, reporting outcomes, big data rhetoric, no-strings-attached programs, the ACA, Common Core, next-gen businesses

We solve complex problems

to serve the people of the United States. To this end, we make large-scale and small-scale contributions to large and small organizations, both public and private, as well as pursue internal projects to experiment with our own ideas for improving the country.
