Data, Analytics & AI Governance

Your people are already using AI. Your data is not ready for it.

We build the governed data, the dashboards, and the AI governance that let manufacturers, charter schools, and education agencies use AI without guessing what is exposed. It starts with a three-week assessment at a fixed price.

The AI Readiness Assessment.
Three weeks. $7,500. One decision.

Your staff are already using AI with customer or student data. The assessment tells you what is exposed, what to automate first, and what it is worth: a data and systems inventory, a governance gap list against the standards your board or your customers hold you to, three ranked opportunities with ROI, and a 90-day roadmap you own.

See the Full Process

Solomon Research & Analytics have been very responsive to our needs. Bill and Joe are very knowledgeable and helped us analyze academic growth and achievement data in ways that we would not have otherwise had the capacity to do. You can pose a data-related question, and they can quickly provide the answer in an organized and understandable format.

I would recommend working with Bill and Joe without hesitation. They are completely reliable and professional — they delivered exactly what they outlined in their proposal and were flexible when we needed additional support. Having deep knowledge and experience in the charter school process is a huge bonus.

How We Engage

Every engagement is scoped to your needs.

We'll find the right fit during your free consultation. Here's how we typically work together.

Answers to what clients
ask us first.

What types of organizations do you work with?

Manufacturers, charter school authorizers, intermediate school districts, and school districts across the United States. We are based in Michigan and work remotely with clients nationally.

What makes you different from a general data consulting firm?

We combine deep domain expertise in education policy and accountability with data science and AI infrastructure skills. Most clients come to us because we understand both the data and the context it sits in, so nobody has to spend the first month educating us.

What does an engagement cost?

It depends on scope, and you will know the number before any work begins. Our core model is project-based with defined deliverables and a fixed investment quoted upfront. We also offer retainers for organizations with recurring reporting cycles, and advisory arrangements for those who need expert input without a long-term commitment.

There are no vague retainers and no surprise invoices.

How long does a typical project take?

Most scoped projects run between four and twelve weeks, depending on the state of the underlying data and how many stakeholders need to weigh in. We set deadlines during the planning stage and hold to them.

Who actually does the work?

You work directly with the consultants doing the analysis, from scoping through delivery. There are no account managers in between.
