Traditional educational impact evaluations require several meetings with multiple staff members – just to plan. We give you your Snapshot Report with no meetings.
Traditional evaluations often come with the risk of project failure due to a lack of school district participation. Our Snapshot Reports eliminate this risk by leveraging our pre-existing data partnerships, guaranteeing you get the answers you need.
Our Snapshot Report leverages existing data to give you clear insights into product or program effectiveness without the typical wait time of a full evaluation.

As a small team of researchers and evaluators we often find ourselves in need of a range of expertise- statistics being one of those highly specialized skillsets. Having Parsimony has liberated us from toiling over methodology and analysis and allowed us to focus on what we do best – work with our clients. Parsimony’s unique and highly organized process engaged us at critical junctures, generated understandable and rigorous findings, and has helped us offer our clients a robust array of analytic tools.

Minneapolis Public Schools strongly believes in making evidence-based decisions about what’s helping students achieve their potential. To accommodate the increased demand for evaluation within MPS, our district has hired Parsimony on several occasions to provide quantitative evaluations of various educational programs within the district. Parsimony has always provided timely, affordable, and high-quality evaluations that help us make important decisions about the future of educational initiatives within the district.
