Our Tools

Our tools include models we’ve built for social wealth fund management, microsimulations for advising on tax policy, analysis of credit bureau data to understand the student debt crisis, and more. In our early years, we built income share agreement models and contracts; since then, we’ve used our data and financial expertise to design pilots and policy across our initiatives.
