What I Do

Services

Three areas of focus, each grounded in the same premise: consequential assessment decisions deserve independent, evidence-based advice.

01

High-Stakes Assessment

Objective, independent guidance with no vendor relationships to protect.

  • Evidence review: assessing whether your program's claims are defensible
  • Evaluation of scoring models and vendor claims
  • Fairness and defensibility analysis
  • AI and automated scoring opportunity and risk analysis
  • Assessment innovation: identifying, piloting, and scaling new approaches
  • Strategic opportunity identification: surfacing what your data and programs can do that they are not doing yet
  • Accreditation readiness
  • Assessment workflow design, review, and execution

For organizations that want to get ahead of challenges, not just respond to them.

02

Research Infrastructure and Governance

Most assessment programs generate data. Few generate the evidence that actually drives decisions.

  • Research pipeline strategy and prioritization
  • Validity framework development
  • Governance models for oversight
  • Program portfolio design and redesign
  • Transition planning for research and psychometric functions

Where appropriate, I design and execute the research required to close identified gaps and generate the evidence you need to hear.

03

Assessment Leadership

Leadership is where technical excellence either scales or stalls.

I provide senior-level capacity for organizations navigating transitions, and for the technical professionals growing into broader roles.

  • Interim and surge capacity for psychometric and research leadership functions
  • Retained executive advisor
  • Career and leadership development for technical professionals: publication strategy, management transitions, and building influence beyond the data

Strong standards require capable leadership.

How We Work Together

Structured around what you actually need

Engagements range from focused single projects to ongoing advisory relationships. Some organizations need a defined scope with a clear deliverable. Others benefit from a retained advisor present for the questions that arise between the scheduled meetings. Either way, the work is calibrated to your context, not a standard package.
