Consulting
Evidence-first strategy for sustainability and applied technology—where narrative, metrics, and decision-making stay connected.
I help teams design systems that hold up under scrutiny: clear claims, transparent assumptions, and reproducible outputs.
Scope: selective, open-source-first consulting focused on strategy, governance, and implementation guidance. No hype. No greenwashing. No guaranteed outcomes—just clear work, done responsibly.
A visual overview of the consulting model, showing four core capability areas and a practical implementation workflow.
Good fit for
-
Sustainability teams
Who need defensible reporting, indicator pipelines, or clarity on what claims can and cannot be supported.
-
Founders + product teams
Building tools in climate, energy, policy, or applied analytics who need coherent narrative and measurement design.
-
Marketing + communications leaders
Under pressure to communicate impact responsibly—without hand-waving, weak sourcing, or “trust me” charts.
-
Research + policy projects
That need transparent methodology, traceable sources, and outputs that can survive review.
Ways I can help
-
1) Narrative + Evidence Audit
Identify where claims outpace evidence, where assumptions are hidden, and where reporting risk is highest. Typical outputs include a prioritized fix list and a clear map of claims → sources → metrics.
-
2) Measurement & Indicator Design
Define what you’re measuring, why it matters, and how it will be computed and maintained. Designed for SDG-style reporting, program evaluation, scenario work, and impact measurement—without dashboard theater.
-
3) Governance & Documentation Systems
Build lightweight standards for sources, methods, revisions, and uncertainty so work remains auditable as teams scale. Think: editorial ethos for sustainability plus documentation discipline for analytics.
-
4) Applied Implementation Support
Hands-on support to operationalize the system: schemas, workflows, templates, reproducible exports, and training. This is “build with your team” support—not outsourced engineering or product delivery.
How it works
- Discovery — 30–45 minutes to clarify goals, constraints, stakeholders, and what “good” looks like.
- Diagnosis — I review existing materials—claims, sources, reports, and workflows—and identify gaps and risks.
- Build — We design the system: governance rules, measurement plan, templates, and an implementation path.
- Deliver — You receive reusable artifacts—frameworks, checklists, specs, and guidance—that your team can own going forward.
Notes
Open-source tools: provided as-is. Consulting focuses on strategy, systems, and responsible implementation guidance—not end-user support.
No legal or financial advice: sustainability work can touch regulated or high-stakes areas. I provide methodology and systems support, and I recommend qualified professionals when specialized advice is required.
