Real questions, defensible answers

Support can start with a focused analysis, extend over a few months, or continue through a research partnership. These examples draw on DASS consulting and our team's earlier university roles.

Methods case studies

Public-data examples showing how we check an analysis and define the conclusions its evidence can support.

Public teaching release · Reproducible reanalysis

Reanalyzing public trial data

Independent Python/R calculations and missing-data sensitivity in the Beating the Blues teaching release. Includes a results figure and reproducibility download.

The release contains a subset of the cited trial; this is not a verified replication of the original publication.
