File HS-001 Est. 2023 Practices evaluation · finserv Status accepting engagements

A management & federal consultancy

Operating counsel for governed, data-shaped work.

01 — Practice

Two deep practices, run by the people who founded them: evaluation of policies and programs that support outcomes for children and their families, led by Missy Coffey, PhD; financial services and fintech, led by Nathan Tribble.

02 — Throughline

Different sectors, same discipline: leadership-grade decisions made on integrated data, in environments where the rules are real and the accountability is public.

§ 01 Practices

Two deep practices. One firm.

Practice 01 Led by Missy Coffey, PhD

Government services

Evaluating policies and programs that support outcomes for children and their families — for foundations, agencies, and non-profits.

  • Policy and program evaluation
  • Community assessment and needs analysis
  • Responsive analytics from integrated data
  • Capacity building, coaching, and cohort-based learning
Practice 02 Led by Nathan Tribble

Financial services & fintech

Front- and back-office operating expertise across trading, brokerage, and growth-stage fintech.

  • Strategy, organizational design, and operational scale-up
  • Compliance & risk programs — AML, fraud surveillance, BD/RIA
  • Trading, market structure, customer operations
  • Regulatory readiness for venture- and PE-backed firms
§ 02 Throughline

What the two practices have in common.

01

Evaluation that meets the bar

Evaluating whether policies, programs, and operations actually produce the outcomes they claim — for funders, boards, and regulators who need the answer to hold up.

02

Operations in accountable environments

Broker-dealer compliance, federal grant accountability, AML, fraud — different regulators, same discipline. We build operating models that pass scrutiny.

03

Integrated data & responsive analytics

Analytics designed for the data organizations actually have, not the data they wish they had. The goal is always insight leadership can act on.

04

Coaching & capacity building

Individualized coaching and peer cohorts that build durable internal capability in the leadership teams we work with — not long-term dependence on consultants.

§ 03 Principals

Two co-founders. Both in every room.
