Applying data and analytics

for more impactful altruism

Head & Heart

Methodology

 

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 the heart, we work to ensure philanthropy and government policy have the greatest impact possible.
