Our Process
At AgoraAdvisors, our process combines two interconnected phases: Exploration and Evidencing. This approach allows us to uncover and validate innovative solutions with data and analysis.
Exploration
Discovering Alternatives to the Status Quo
We challenge conventional thinking by seeking new and creative alternatives to existing models. Recognizing that outdated data can lead to confirmation bias, we leverage emerging data pools, advanced analytics, and AI-driven methodologies to contextualize findings.
Integrating Data and Psychology
Our interdisciplinary team combines data mining, demographic analysis, intuitive psychology, and observed behavioural studies to understand complex human factors influencing urban living. This holistic view helps us capture the nuances of how people interact with urban spaces.
Systems Thinking Approach
This approach allows us to understand the interconnectedness of urban elements. By mapping out causal mechanisms, we identify leverage points that can lead to meaningful change.
Evidencing
Validating Insights with Data and Analysis
The Evidencing phase involves grounding our exploratory findings in solid evidence, using logic and facts to provide nuance and direction. We recognize that moving beyond the pursuit of a single "right" answer is imperative in addressing complex urban challenges.
Metric Analysis and Long-Term Impact Assessment
We provide comprehensive analyses of housing projects' effectiveness by conducting longitudinal studies. This involves capturing and examining data over extended periods to evaluate interventions' true efficacy and impact.
Advanced Analytical Techniques
Utilizing data mining, AI, and combined analytical methods, we synthesize information from diverse sources. This reduces biases inherent in traditional data sets and uncovers actionable insights otherwise hidden.
Causal Mechanism Evaluation
We validate the effectiveness of our proposed solutions by understanding the causal relationships within urban systems. Our conceptual models map these relationships, allowing us to visualize complex interactions and predict both the intended and unintended consequences of interventions.
Bridging Exploration and Evidencing
Our process is dynamic and iterative, where each phase continuously informs the other. Through continuous quality improvement, we systematically evaluate outcomes against objectives, integrating emerging data and methodologies to refine our approach. By analyzing how different system elements interact, we identify leverage points that create positive impacts across multiple domains of urban life.
