Research, evidence & evaluation
10 services
EUDR complianceWe review a supplier’s existing evidence against the EU Deforestation Regulation’s due-diligence requirements and return a gap register. Every unverified origin claim is marked as unverified, so your compliance team knows exactly what still has to be proven.
Due-diligence researchBefore you sign with a partner, supplier or grantee in Ghana or West Africa, we investigate the counterparty within agreed registers and sources. You receive the findings, the questions that remain open, and the full source trail.
Ghana market-entry consultingWe answer one market-entry decision for Ghana or West Africa with a focused sector brief and verified next-step options: who buys, how they buy, what it costs to operate and what must be checked before you commit.
Feasibility studiesWe review a project concept for commercial and institutional feasibility before a larger study, loan or investment is commissioned, so the questions that could stop the project are answered first.
Outsourced researchSend us a business research question and receive an answer to an agreed evidence standard: sources named, uncertainty stated, and a short memo your team can act on. Recurring questions can run on a bounded monthly volume.- Programme evaluationWe review your evaluation brief and evidence base, propose a method that fits the questions and the budget, and cost any fieldwork separately and transparently. Evaluations follow recognised criteria such as relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability.
- Expert-interview programmesWe recruit and conduct an agreed number of genuine expert interviews in Ghana and across Africa, with informed consent, and deliver a synthesis memo that answers your questions.
- Market, sector and value-chain studiesWe produce a sector decision brief with a transparent sizing model and the evidence gaps stated, so the numbers can be checked and reused rather than taken on trust.
- Survey and qualitative analysisWe analyse one survey wave or a set of interview transcripts with a transparent codebook, missing-data checks and reproducible outputs, so every figure and theme can be traced back to the data.
- Third-party monitoring (TPM) in Ghana / West AfricaVerify one accessible Ghana site against agreed evidence requirements; cost travel and independence explicitly.
Management & institutional strengthening
9 services
AI-readiness and AI-governance assessmentWe map how one team or institution already uses AI, where data and decisions are exposed, and which governance gaps matter most. Diagnostic recommendations are kept separate from implementation, so you decide what to fund next.
Competency frameworks, job architecture and JD manualsWe develop and validate the competency architecture for one role family first, test it against the real work, and only then scale it across the institution, so the framework is used rather than filed.
Training-needs assessment and skills auditsKnow exactly what your people cannot do yet, and what closing the gap involves. We measure required against current capability, role by role, and turn the gaps into a prioritised, costed training plan you can defend to a board, a ministry or a donor.
Monitoring, evaluation and learning framework designWe repair or build one programme’s theory of change, results framework and indicator definitions before the next reporting cycle, so what you measure is what the programme is meant to change.
Institutional and organisational reviewWe review one institutional unit’s mandate, structure, processes and controls, and return options and a prioritised action memo that leadership can decide on.- Pay, grading and salary-structure designWe test a defined set of roles against a grading method and design the structure around it, stating exactly which salary data is and is not available, so the result can be defended.
- Strategic plan developmentWe facilitate a strategy diagnostic and a decision workshop with your leadership, then write the full plan and its implementation matrix, so the strategy says what will be done, by whom and how progress will be seen.
- Process review & SOP manuals (AI-accelerated)Map and test one recurring process; deliver the SOP, controls and owner handover.
- PMO setup & grant delivery officeSet up one programme's reporting, risk and decision cadence with a tested template set.
Training & capacity building
12 services
Executive AI literacy and board AI-governance dayA sector-specific session for boards and executives on what AI means for their institution: the real uses, the real risks and the governance decisions only leadership can make. You leave with draft actions for approval, not a signed policy.
White-label PMP curriculum for training providersWe supply training partners with original, reviewed PMP curriculum modules and question sets under their brand. A sample module comes first; a full licence follows only when your requirements are agreed.
AI-literacy trainingWe assess the AI literacy each staff group needs, deliver role-specific training and keep the attendance and assessment evidence. Since 27 July 2026, Article 4 of the EU AI Act, as amended by the Digital Omnibus on AI, asks providers and deployers to take measures to support the development of AI literacy; this programme helps you take those measures and show what you did.
Proposal and bid-writing trainingWe teach a team to read a real call for proposals or tender, build its compliance matrix and write a response outline, using the documents they are actually bidding for.
AI for research, communications and admin teamsWe teach a team a tested set of AI workflows for their actual work, using only data they are permitted to use, with practical exercises that are assessed.- E-learning development and course productionWe produce complete learning modules under your brand: learning design, content, assessments, facilitator materials and tested LMS packaging where contracted.
- Public-sector management and performance improvementWe facilitate a performance diagnostic for a public institution and work with its managers on practical improvements, grounded in the Professor’s documented work on effectiveness in public organisations with limited resources.
- Monitoring and evaluation trainingA practical MEL module built around your team’s actual indicators, tools and reporting duties, so staff can collect, check and report data correctly from the next cycle.
- Data and AI skills trainingAn assessed, practical data and AI module matched to your team’s tools and working tasks, from cleaning and analysing data to using AI safely in daily work.
- PMP exam-readiness coaching & question bank (self-study, non-ATP)Review a candidate's preparation plan and provide original, reviewed self-study exercises aligned to current exam scope.

AI governance & assurance
4 services
EU AI Act Article 50We check one AI system against the EU AI Act’s Article 50 transparency obligations, as a provider or a deployer, and help you put the applicable disclosure and marking controls in place.
Ghana Data Protection Act registration and renewalWe prepare your organisation’s registration or renewal with Ghana’s Data Protection Commission under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), and keep our professional fee clearly separate from the Commission’s statutory fees.
Responsible-AI and data-protection reviewWe map one processing workflow end to end, identify the operational privacy and AI-use gaps, and scope the remediation, escalating to specialists where a legal question needs one.
Fractional Chief AI OfficerA defined monthly cadence of AI decisions and oversight for firms that need senior AI leadership but cannot justify a full-time executive: priorities, owners and actions, reviewed on a fixed rhythm.
Digital solutions
6 services
Donor MEL reporting automationWe convert one approved indicator workbook into one funder reporting template, with reconciliation checks and exception handling, so each reporting cycle takes hours instead of weeks and every figure can be traced.
Accessibility audit and remediationWe audit and remediate a defined set of pages or templates against WCAG 2.2, including manual keyboard and assistive-technology checks, and hand over a record of what was fixed and how it was tested.
Knowledge-base chatbots and internal assistantsWe build a bounded assistant over your permitted documents that cites its sources, refuses what it should not answer, and is tested for leakage before anyone relies on it.
WhatsApp and voice agentsWe prototype one voice or WhatsApp journey for your users, with language review and an honest view of the channel’s running costs, before any wider rollout.
Data portals and web applicationsWe build a defined portal workflow with roles, validation and acceptance tests, then scope the wider application from what works.- Institutional website designWe design and build focused institutional websites with the content, performance and accessibility criteria agreed up front, the way this site was built.
Bids, proposals & intelligence
4 services
Funding and tender alertsWe screen your organisation against a defined set of current funding calls and tenders, and give you a clear verdict on each: bid, partner or pass, with the reason and the next action.
Tender, RFP and bid writingWe start by reviewing one live tender’s compliance requirements, and price the full response only after the evidence and scope checks, so you never pay for a bid you cannot win on eligibility.
SAM.gov readiness and capability statementWe prepare an accurate capability statement and a registration-readiness checklist for US federal contracting. Registering in SAM.gov is free; you pay us only for preparation, never for the registration itself.
Grant proposal writing for donorsWe review one donor call and your project concept, then produce the narrative, logframe and budget workstream the call requires, built on evidence you can stand behind.
Communications, content & visibility
6 services
AI search visibilityWe measure how AI assistants and search engines answer a defined set of questions your buyers ask, diagnose why you are cited or missing, and only then propose ongoing work.
Programmatic SEO and content systemsWe audit your content architecture and build one genuinely useful page type from structured data, not a mass of thin keyword pages, then scale only what earns its place.
Donor-project visibility and communicationsWe produce a visibility toolkit built against your actual grant agreement and your funder’s approval process, so every output credits the funder correctly the first time.
Content engineWe turn one approved report or body of work into an agreed set of audience-specific assets, with formats, volumes and revision rounds fixed at the start.
Report design and publication productionWe design a polished, accessible sample chapter or spread first, so you can judge the quality before committing, then scope the complete production.- Communications strategy and campaign plansWe build an audience, message and channel diagnostic for one real campaign, with a measurement plan you can run, before any wider strategy is written.
Growth, representation & partnerships
4 services
Diaspora investment verificationWe verify one defined venture question or local counterparty on the ground, and refer regulated legal, tax and investment decisions to licensed professionals.
Ghana and West Africa representationWe complete one defined market task in Ghana for you, such as meetings, partner visits or evidence gathering, with the contacts, outputs and expenses agreed before we start.
White-label deliveryWe deliver one confidential research, design or technical output under your brand, against your acceptance checklist, so you can extend capacity without extending payroll.
Outbound and lead engineWe run a bounded outbound pilot with verified contacts, messages you have approved, handled replies and an honest log of results, so you learn what works before you scale.
Data, analytics & automation
11 services
Market, competitor and brand radarWe produce one sector radar issue that answers your live commercial questions from public and permitted sources, then agree recurring coverage only if it earns its place.
AI agents and workflow automationWe automate one recurring task end to end, with error recovery, run logs and a tested handover, before touching the next one.
Marketing, GA4 and brand-sentiment analyticsWe diagnose one tracking or campaign-measurement problem using your actual account data and a clear test plan, then fix it or tell you exactly who should.
KPI dashboards and Power BIWe reconcile one dataset into a useful KPI view with agreed definitions and refresh logic, and teach your team to maintain it.
Fractional data analystWe answer one management decision with the data you already hold, then offer recurring, bounded analysis cycles once the first sprint has proved useful.- Donor results dataWe reconcile your programme results data and deliver one usable analysis, dashboard or reporting cycle, with every figure traceable to its source.
- Management, board and investor reportingWe produce one board reporting cycle from approved figures, with a clear narrative, exceptions highlighted and a finance review step before anything is circulated.

- Financial models and cash-flow scenariosWe build and test a bounded cash-flow or scenario model with explicit assumptions and an independent formula review, so the numbers can be challenged and still stand.
- Mapping & Location Intelligence (site selection, coverage, asset and farm mapping)Produce one open-data location analysis with coordinate checks, uncertainty and non-survey limitations.
- Data Plumbing: Databases, Pipelines & API IntegrationsConnect one source and destination with validation, retries and sanitised operating logs.

Keynotes, masterclasses and guest lecturesA named principal speaks to your audience on a topic matched to your programme’s objective, prepared with you rather than delivered off the shelf.
Independent director and advisory-board appointmentsWe put forward a principal’s board or advisory profile against a real appointment brief, after a conflicts and availability review, so both sides know the fit before anyone commits.- Academic and professional-body partnershipsWe propose an external academic or executive-education contribution matched to your institution’s actual programme needs, from guest teaching to module design and examining.
