Dive deeper and explore our white papers, case studies, and presentations. Each project reflects our drive to deliver thoughtful, effective solutions.

Synthetic Data & Statistical Innovation

WHAT ARE SYNTHETIC DATA?

Synthetic data recreate the patterns and complexity of real-world information without relying on actual records. It gives teams a safer, faster way to test, develop, and innovate.​

Watch: Synthetic Data: Innovating Without Risking Real Data | Real Reveal

Synthetic data are changing how organizations safely share and analyze sensitive information. Our research explores how these approaches can support secure innovation across federal environments. 

WHITE PAPER

Synthetic Data Applications for Federal Statistics

This paper explores the diverse ways in which synthetic data are used in a federal context, the unique concerns federal agencies face when integrating it into an existing workflow and presents solutions that have worked to deploy synthetic data systems.

AI & Automation

From legacy system modernization to enhanced data workflows and accelerated development cycles, our solutions help you operate more efficiently while freeing teams to focus on strategic, high-impact initiatives rather than repetitive work.

WHITE PAPER

Ensemble Retrieval Strategies for an Improved NAICS Search Engine in the U.S. Census Bureau

Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) 2024

This project redesigns the existing North American Industry Classification System’s (NAICS) string-matching search engine in the U.S. Census Bureau with a semantic search engine, achieving an accuracy of 86.87% on synthetic data, a 45.1% improvement over a keyword search.

PRESENTATION

Operationalizing the Hard-to-Count Framework: Integrated Methods for Improving Census Coverage

Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) 2026

This research developed in collaboration with NORC at the University of Chicago on a question central to the future of federal statistics: How can organizations improve census coverage for hard-to-count populations?

WHITE PAPER

New Construction Activity Detection and Classification via Satellite Imagery and Machine Learning

AGX Applied Geography Conference 2025

This experimental data product transforms construction monitoring with satellite imagery and computer vision for faster decisions, lower risk, and improved operational efficiency, producing data that can be integrated into portions of the Census Bureau’s economic indicator series.

WHITE PAPER

Automating Census Legislative Research

Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology (FCSM) 2024

This paper explores the diverse ways in which synthetic data are used in a federal context, the unique concerns federal agencies face when integrating it into an existing workflow and presents solutions that have worked to deploy synthetic data systems.

Code Conversion & Translation

Across both multilingual communication and legacy system modernization, our approach emphasizes scalable AI augmentation that pairs machine efficiency with human expertise to deliver accurate, trustworthy, and federal-standard solutions. 

WHITE PAPER

SAS to Python AI-Driven Translation

Federal Computer Assisted Survey Information Collection Workshops (FedCASIC) 2025
Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) 2025

This paper explores how generative models can be used to engage with the SAS translation problem effectively, reducing administrative burden, improving code consistency, and transforming codebases into an open-source framework.

PRESENTATION

Exploring AI vs. Professional Translation: A Mixed-Methods Approach

American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) 2025

This presentation addresses the significant challenges the federal statistical system faces in collecting data from non-English speaking populations. We explore Large Language Models (LLMs)’s potential yet unproven solution for improving translation accuracy and efficiency.
