Project benefits and beneficiaries
Identify who benefits from a project and how those benefits are distributed. Assess risk reduction alongside benefits to natural systems, essential services, and everyday quality of life.
Community resilience
We evaluate the benefits, costs, and tradeoffs of infrastructure investments—whether natural, built, or a combination of both—that strengthen communities.
Our services
We work with public agencies, utilities, nonprofits, and planning and engineering teams to support infrastructure planning, funding requests, and project review.
We combine data science with economic analysis and share findings through reports, maps, concise summaries, and web-based tools. Our studies make sources, assumptions, and limitations clear.
Benefit-cost analysis
Compare project costs with expected economic benefits to residents, businesses, and communities, including avoided damage, fewer service disruptions, and reduced emissions. Our work includes benefit-cost analyses for FEMA hazard mitigation funding applications.
