Research & Data analytics

We collect, analyze and interpret information so you can better understand complex issues, make informed decisions and develop effective strategies for change.

Data-informed decision making

PSC helps decisionmakers turn complex information into clear, actionable strategies. We combine rigorous research methods with deep policy expertise to uncover trends, measure impact and identify opportunities that shape Michigan’s future. We analyze data from many sources, including data we have collected on behalf of clients, existing client data, data from publicly available sources and data from private vendors such as Placer.ai, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI).

We will give you the best information and analysis available so you can make the best possible decisions. We let the data – not opinions or anecdotes – inform the outcome.
