The evidence platforms

Evidence that keeps watching.

Spendmapp and CityCompass help us understand how communities, economies and human behaviour are changing. They strengthen our consulting work and give clients continued access to evidence beyond an individual project.

How the platforms work

  • Councils, planning firms and other organisations subscribe to Spendmapp and CityCompass in their own right, accessing continuing evidence on local economies, communities and change.

  • The platforms strengthen our consulting: observed behaviour, not assumed demand, sits beneath the analysis in both practices.

  • When a commission ends, the conditions it studied keep changing. Clients keep observing them, and can test a strategy's assumptions against what actually happened.
