Evidence, analytics, and responsible AI to improve outcomes.

Mathematica partners with federal leaders to tackle urgent social challenges. We combine evidence, rigorous research, and advanced analytics to shape programs that improve lives.

As a strategic partner to government agencies, we evaluate programs and policies while providing the technical assistance needed to modernize data systems, strengthen governance, and improve outcomes. Our analysts examine complex issues using methods ranging from rapid-cycle learning to advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. This work generates objective insights that support faster, more confident, evidence-based decision-making.

With decades of experience in research and evaluation, we’ve built and stewarded large-scale data assets, positioning us to advise federal agencies on data strategy, interoperability, management, and quality—foundational capabilities for responsible analytics and AI.
