What Causalytics does
Causalytics evaluates internal programs, operational changes, and vendor deployments to determine what the available evidence supports about causal impact and attributable return on investment.
When the evidence needed for evaluation is not being captured, we can help design a bounded, governed implementation that records exposure, context, decisions, costs, and outcomes. Implementation supports the measurement. It is not the company category.
01 / OBSERVE
Start with actual work
Study the case, people, evidence, clocks, policy, handoffs, and current baseline before specifying a system.
02 / COLLABORATE
Change the workflow together
Work with operators, policy owners, security, evaluation, and affected stakeholders to define a bounded intervention.
03 / MEASURE
Determine what changed
Use a Measurement Contract and causal analysis to estimate outcomes, attributable value, uncertainty, and limits.
Why the company exists
Healthcare organizations invest in programs, operating changes, and vendors because they expect better outcomes. They often receive activity measures, testimonials, modeled savings, or before-and-after comparisons that cannot establish how much of the observed change was caused by the intervention.
Causalytics exists to close that evidence gap. The Measurement Contract fixes the question, comparison, outcome, costs, and claim rules before results are interpreted. Causal analysis estimates the effect and tests its assumptions. The Impact Passport records the estimate, uncertainty, attributable value, limitations, lineage, and exact claim the evidence permits.
Where the evidence cannot support attribution, Causalytics reports a more limited conclusion or withholds the claim. A defensible negative or inconclusive result is more useful than a precise number built on an unsupported comparison.
OUR METHOD
Observe the work.
Change the workflow together.
Measure outcomes.
We begin with how people actually work, collaborate with them on a bounded change, and measure whether that change produced the intended result.
Company model
The company model combines open foundations for operational instruments with professional infrastructure for secure construction and operation. A portion of commercial capacity supports the public ecosystem.
OPEN FOUNDATION
PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION
Independent causal impact and ROI analysis
Organizations pay for evidence-readiness assessment, evaluation design, secure analysis, causal estimation, full-cost ROI, Impact Passports, and ongoing measurement support. Governed implementation is available when better evidence capture is required.
REINVESTMENT
Support for the public ecosystem
Commercial revenue supports the open foundation, documentation, education, and access for mission-driven organizations with limited technical resources.
Our operating principles
The case is the primary unit
Analytics appear inside the decision step they inform. Interface elements are included when they change what a specialist can understand or do.
Judgment remains accountable
Models may extract and summarize. Deterministic systems may validate and derive. Consequential interpretations and dispositions remain with named people.
The record is a by-product of the work
Who acted, what changed, why, and under which authority are captured at the moment of action. Corrections append; they do not rewrite history.
Controls run
Security, privacy, accessibility, testing, data minimization, and monitoring requirements are implemented and supported by evidence.
Causal claims remain proportional to evidence
Operational improvement, association, and causal effect are reported as different claims. Assumptions, comparison design, uncertainty, subgroup effects, and limitations remain visible.
Our public-benefit commitments
- Open foundations: make core specifications, causal protocols, and selected reference tools available for public use, scrutiny, and extension.
- Responsible automation: build systems that strengthen expert judgment and human accountability instead of obscuring them.
- Broad access: support education and pathways for public-interest and resource-constrained organizations to use the work.
- Transparency: report what we released, what benefit it produced, where it fell short, and what we changed.
- Durability: build a sustainable commercial company capable of maintaining the public foundation over the long term.
Public Benefit Corporation is our legal form and operating commitment. It is distinct from third-party Certified B Corporation status; we do not claim that certification.
Who is building it
Founded by Akbar Akbari Esfahani
Akbar’s work spans causal inference, program evaluation, regulated operations, applied analytics, organizational AI strategy, knowledge systems, governance assessment, and secure application engineering. This experience informs Causalytics’ focus on systems that support institutional decisions and produce credible evidence about their results.
Bring one intervention and the decision it must inform.
The current focus is to evaluate healthcare interventions and vendor deployments with organization-neutral methods, validate the approach through authorized partnerships, and establish reusable public and commercial foundations.
