Root & Ratio makes expert data science accessible to mission-driven organizations creating meaningful change with limited resources.

Throughout two decades of experience as a math professor, academic researcher, and enterprise data scientist, we have seen too many teams struggle to find data professionals who truly understand both their analytical needs and their budget realities. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, honest guidance from a partner who genuinely cares about the mission. No jargon. No judgement. No hype.

We thrive on transforming complex data challenges into powerful narratives that drive missions forward. Our approach combines rigorous analytical techniques with artful storytelling to help clients understand not just what their data says, but why it matters and how they can take action with confidence. It's not just about technical expertise; it's about knowing when innovation helps and when proven methods work better.

The name Root & Ratio reflects this philosophy:

• The Root represents our grounded approach and deep expertise.
• The Ratio signifies our balanced perspective for navigating today's rapidly shifting AI landscape.

We specialize in empowering non-profits and academic researchers and are particularly passionate about projects that advance economic mobility, environmental sustainability, social justice, and access to healthcare. Through strategic values-based corporate partnerships, we can offer mission-driven organizations top caliber analytical thinking at rates that fit their budgets. When projects need specialized expertise, we tap into our extensive network of trusted colleagues cultivated over decades in academia and industry.
