Services

Analytical engagements scoped to your institutional context, delivered with documented methodology and full auditability.

Actuarial and Statistical Modelling Project · Retainer

Development and validation of mortality, morbidity, and reserving models to regulatory and internal governance standards. All models are scripted, version-controlled, and accompanied by technical documentation sufficient for independent review.

Typically engaged for basis risk assessments, assumption setting, model validation, or actuarial support where independence from the primary team is required.

  • Model code (R or Python) with documented logic and test suite
  • Technical assumptions paper with alternatives tested
  • Executive summary structured for non-specialist governance audiences
  • Reproducible pipeline enabling client-side re-run and audit

All model outputs carry a version-stamped audit trail from data ingestion to final estimates.

Independent validation of existing models is available as a separate engagement. Read about our model validation service →

Applied Epidemiology and Health Metrics Project · Retainer

Quantitative analyses of population health data using validated epidemiological frameworks. Outputs are structured for use in policy submissions, regulatory filings, or peer-reviewed publication.

Work includes burden of disease estimation, survival analysis, health economic modelling, and evidence synthesis from administrative or survey data.

  • Analysis code and data processing pipeline
  • Methodology report to publication or submission standard
  • Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
  • Structured results tables with confidence intervals

Every estimate is traceable to its source dataset and methodological reference.

Reproducible Research Infrastructure Project · Workshop

Design and implementation of reproducible analytical pipelines for teams producing regulatory, policy, or research outputs. Includes audit of existing workflows against reproducibility standards and structured migration plans.

Outputs enable any qualified analyst to re-run, verify, and extend the work without reliance on the original author's undocumented knowledge.

  • Pipeline design in R, Python, or Quarto with Git versioning
  • Data contracts and transformation documentation
  • Automated output checks and validation routines
  • Team handover session and written operational guide

Infrastructure is designed so internal teams can maintain and audit it without ongoing external dependency.

Statistical Governance and Methods Review Project

Independent review of statistical outputs, methods, and analytical processes for internal governance, regulatory response, or quality assurance purposes. Findings are documented to a standard suitable for committee-level reporting.

  • Structured review report with findings graded by severity
  • Recommendations with annotated examples where applicable
  • Optional follow-up session with the analytical team

Reviews are conducted independently of the team whose work is under examination.

Quantitative Training Workshop · In-house

Structured training programmes for analysts and research teams, covering statistical foundations, applied modelling, and reproducible workflow practice. Delivered as open workshops, in-house courses, or individual coaching. See the training page for full programme details.

What we need from you

Scoping a project accurately requires clear information upfront. The following reduces time to proposal and improves the precision of the engagement specification.

  • Data access: Format, volume, access method, and any governance constraints on the data to be analysed.
  • Analytical objective: The specific question to be answered, the decision it informs, and the audience for the output.
  • Timeline: Deadlines that are fixed (regulatory, publication, board) versus those that are flexible.
  • Constraints: Software environment, output format requirements, confidentiality restrictions.
  • Decision-maker: Who will use the output, and what level of technical fluency they have.

Engagement models

Fixed-scope project

Defined deliverables, timeline, and fee. Appropriate for discrete analyses with clear inputs and outputs.

Retainer

Ongoing analytical support on a monthly basis. Appropriate for teams requiring regular independent review or modelling capacity.

Training block

Fixed-duration programme with agreed syllabus. Priced per session or per participant cohort.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with proprietary or sensitive data?

Yes. Data handling arrangements, including transfer mechanisms and confidentiality obligations, are specified in the engagement agreement before any data is shared. We do not retain client data beyond the agreed project period.

Can outputs be used in regulatory submissions?

Analytical outputs are structured and documented to a standard appropriate for regulatory review. Responsibility for submission rests with the client; we provide the documented methodology and code necessary to support examination.

What software tools do you use?

Primary tools are R, Python, Quarto, and Git. Outputs can be formatted for Excel or other platforms where required. We do not use proprietary analytical platforms that limit client access to the underlying code.

How do you handle disagreements about findings?

Analytical conclusions are determined by the data and the stated methodology. Where a client disagrees with a finding, we will examine whether the concern reflects a methodological question that warrants investigation. We do not revise conclusions to reflect client preference.

What is the typical turnaround for a scoping proposal?

A scoping call followed by a written proposal typically takes five to seven working days, provided the information listed above is available at first contact.
