At Birchwood Consulting, we believe that evaluation is about more than just metrics. It’s about understanding real experiences, outcomes, and the people behind the numbers.
Our work is guided by three core principles:
We bring clarity by making complex data meaningful and actionable;
We use person-centered design to ensure evaluations reflect the voices and needs of those served; and
We focus on impact, helping organizations strengthen decisions, demonstrate value, and achieve equitable outcomes.
