Our Philosophy

Bringing together head & heart

 

Mettalytics is a boutique consultancy that specializes in using data and quantitative analysis to help our clients maximize their positive impact. Our team has experience advising governments, philanthropists, NGOs and international development organizations.

We believe that applying rigorous quantitative analysis should be an essential part of the altruistic process. There is more information than ever before on what strategies work and don’t work, how much policies cost and what beneficiaries value. Using both head and heart, we work to ensure philanthropy and government policy have the greatest impact possible.

"The report by Mettalytics demonstrated to our stakeholders that we had carefully considered the value-for-money proposition of the recycled plastic schools. It reached senior Ministers in the government of Indonesia, the World Bank, IFC and donor agencies in Australia and Finland who were all impressed by the rigour of the analysis and the relevance of the policy insights."
