Public Sector & Municipalities
City and provincial leaders sit on more data than any other client we serve, and get the least decision value from it. Strategic plans live in PDFs, KPIs multiply, and council asks questions the reports cannot answer. We turn that into a small number of measures that change what happens next.
Questions we hear
- “Which initiatives in our strategic plan are actually stalled, and how would we know before the annual report?”
- “Council wants a dashboard. Which of our 60 indicators belong on it?”
- “How do we evaluate a program in a way a skeptical committee will accept?”
- “Our staff are using AI tools informally. How do we make that safe, useful and governed?”
- “What is the economic case for this facility, in numbers that survive a journalist's follow-up?”
What we deliver
- Strategy dashboards
- A KPI definition workshop, a lightweight Power BI or Tableau build that flags risk and progress, and a maintenance playbook your team owns.
- Decision briefs for council and executive
- Two-page memos with the context, the complication, the recommendation and the tradeoff — written to be decided on, not filed.
- Program evaluation and economic impact
- Defensible methodology using Statistics Canada multipliers, net rather than gross figures, and assumptions written where reviewers look.
- AI solutions and readiness for public teams
- Custom automations and assistants built inside your Microsoft environment, data-privacy-first training by role, guardrails for public tools, and an adoption roadmap leadership can sign.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work within public procurement rules?
Yes. Most of our public sector work falls under direct-award thresholds; for larger scopes we respond to RFPs and can provide references on request.
Can you work with our existing data systems?
Yes. We build on what you have — spreadsheets, financial systems, survey tools — and design pipelines your staff can maintain without new licences where possible.
How do you handle personal or sensitive data?
Under your data agreements, inside your environment when required, and never in public AI tools. Data handling is documented in every scoping note.
