We can design demonstrations and experiments for new initiatives to meet our clients' diverse needs. Our evaluation studies often combine qualitative and quantitative methods to rigorously examine program impact as well as program operation and implementation. In addition, Optimal has expertise in cost-benefit analysis and cost-effectiveness studies.
