**What types of organizations does Solomon R&A work with?**
Charter school authorizers, intermediate school districts, policy organizations, government agencies, and private businesses across the United States.

**What makes Solomon R&A different from a general data consulting firm?**
We combine deep domain expertise in education policy and charter school accountability with rigorous data science and AI infrastructure skills. Most of our clients work with us because we understand both the data and the domain — we don't need to be educated on the context.

Yes. We work with clients across the country, including in Montana, and are available for remote engagements.
