Energetics, Inc. services

Understanding organizational context is critical to designing an evaluation. Energetics implements a mix of qualitative and quantitative design approaches—using interviews and focus groups, surveys, and statistical data—to gather contextual information that supports comprehensive program evaluation. We use a variety of statistical techniques to analyze data and then translate results into meaningful and actionable conclusions.

Risk analysis recognizes that future uncertainties can affect current management decisions. By understanding the uncertainty of research and development (R&D) project success, stakeholders can make appropriate comparisons among projects and gain a more complete understanding of the complete R&D portfolio. Energetics elicits expert opinions on R&D project success and uses those inputs in stochastic model simulations to provide a distribution of benefit estimates for each R&D project.
