Our Services

Policy Analysis and Development

At Results Count, we help mission-driven organizations navigate complex policy environments to create solutions that are both practical and impactful.

Our policy analysis and development process is grounded in data, driven by community needs, and guided by real-world feasibility. We work collaboratively with clients to understand the issues they care about, identify opportunities for change, and craft actionable policy solutions.

• Assessing Impact and Effectiveness: We evaluate existing or proposed policies to determine their potential effects on populations, systems, and outcomes.

• Analyzing Evidence and Best Practices: We synthesize research, case studies, and stakeholder insights to inform sound policy recommendations.

• Identifying Fiscal and Resource Needs: We estimate costs, funding sources, and long-term financial sustainability to support viable policy options.

• Understanding Political and System Contexts: We assess the policy landscape—including legislative, regulatory, and community factors—to identify pathways to success.

• Developing Tailored Messaging and Materials: We translate complex findings into accessible, compelling briefs, presentations, and advocacy tools for a range of audiences.

Program Design & Implementation

We work with organizations to turn big ideas into well-structured, effective programs that create real impact. Whether you're launching a new initiative or strengthening an existing one, we provide the strategic guidance and practical tools needed to design and implement programs that are responsive, equitable, and sustainable.

Our approach is collaborative and data-driven. We start by understanding the goals of the organization, the needs of the community, and the systems in which the program will operate. From there, we co-create program models that are based on evidence, informed by stakeholders, and built for long-term success.

Our services include:

• Needs Assessment and Landscape Analysis: We identify gaps, opportunities, and existing assets to inform program direction.

• Theory of Change and Logic Model Development: We clarify how your program will achieve its desired outcomes and define metrics for success.

• Equity-Centered Design: We prioritize the voices of those most impacted and ensure the program promotes inclusion, access, and fairness.

• Implementation Planning: We develop clear, actionable roadmaps that include timelines, staffing, budgets, partnerships, and performance indicators.

• Technical Assistance and Capacity Building: We provide hands-on support during implementation—troubleshooting challenges, adjusting plans as needed, and helping teams build the skills and systems required for success.

Community & Stakeholder Engagement

At Results Count, we know that lasting impact is built through trust, collaboration, and shared ownership. We help organizations engage communities and stakeholders in meaningful ways—ensuring that the voices of those most affected by policies and programs are heard, valued, and reflected in decision-making.

Our engagement work is grounded in equity, respect, and cultural humility. We tailor every engagement strategy to the specific goals, audiences, and context of each project, recognizing that no one-size-fits-all approach exists.

Our services include:

• Stakeholder Mapping and Engagement Planning: We identify key individuals, groups, and organizations to involve and develop customized strategies for engagement.

• Facilitation of Community Conversations and Listening Sessions: We create inclusive spaces—both virtual and in-person—that encourage open, honest dialogue and meaningful participation.

• Surveys, Interviews, and Focus Groups: We gather input through tools that are accessible, culturally responsive, and designed to capture diverse perspectives.

• Co-Design and Participatory Approaches: We engage community members and stakeholders as partners in shaping programs, policies, and solutions.

• Synthesis and Communication of Findings: We analyze and share input in ways that are clear, actionable, and rooted in the lived experiences of participants.

We believe that evaluation is more than measuring outcomes—it's a tool for learning, improvement, and accountability. We partner with organizations to design and carry out evaluations that are rigorous, meaningful, and aligned with their mission and goals.

Our evaluation approach focuses on collaboration, equity, and usefulness. We work closely with clients and stakeholders to understand what success looks like, what questions need answering, and how findings will be used to inform strategy, improve programs, and demonstrate impact.

We offer comprehensive evaluation services, including:

• Evaluation Design and Planning: We develop tailored evaluation frameworks that align with program goals, theory of change, and available resources.

• Data Collection and Analysis: We use a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods—surveys, interviews, focus groups, administrative data—to gather meaningful insights.

• Equity-Focused Evaluation: We ensure that diverse voices, especially from marginalized communities, are centered in the evaluation process.

• Utilization-Focused Reporting: We translate complex data into clear, actionable findings and recommendations that inform decision-making and drive continuous improvement.

• Capacity Building: We work alongside teams to strengthen their ability to monitor, evaluate, and learn from their work long after the engagement ends.
