How I Work With Clients
Independent economic and strategic research, tailored to the people actually making decisions.
KAM Research exists to support individuals, organizations, and communities facing uncertainty, complexity, or structural change. My work is designed to be usable, independent, and grounded in evidence rather than consensus narratives.
Below are typical ways I work with clients. Each engagement is custom-scoped based on needs and constraints.
If You Are a Business or Organization
You need clarity to plan under uncertainty, not generic forecasts or black-box models.
How I can help:
- Build custom forecasting and scenario models designed for your specific context
- Create self-updating models your team can maintain over time
- Analyze exposure to economic, policy, or financial risk
- Produce short, decision-ready research briefs for leadership
The goal is not prediction theater, but better internal decision-making with tools you actually understand and control.
If You Are a Founder, Investor, or Independent Operator
You need an honest second look before committing capital, time, or reputation.
How I can help:
- Independent assessment of assumptions, narratives, or projections
- Scenario analysis around downside risk and uncertainty
- Targeted review of market structure, incentives, and constraints
- Evidence-based critique of prevailing stories or “obvious” conclusions
This work is especially useful when something looks compelling but you want to know what’s missing.
If You Are a Researcher, Analyst, or Policy Professional
You’re already doing serious work, you need someone to think outside the box.
How I can help:
- Review and stress-test models, methodologies, or conclusions
- Synthesize large or conflicting literatures into usable summaries
- Identify gaps between evidence, interpretation, and claims
- Support publication-quality writing, analysis or internal briefing materials
Engagements here often involve independent validation, refinement, or direct analytical execution, depending on the needs of the project.
If You Are a Community, Nonprofit, or Civic Group
You want to understand the economic landscape and explore practical resilience, without jargon or ideology.
How I can help:
- Public talks or workshops on current economic conditions
- Clear explanations of monetary, fiscal, and structural trends
- Facilitate conversations around local resilience and adaptation
- Translate macroeconomic forces into local implications people can act on
These engagements emphasize education, grounded understanding, and practical options, not fear or hype.
If You Are Unsure Where You Fit
That’s common and totally fine.
Many clients arrive with a general sense that something is shifting or unclear but don’t yet have a precise question. Part of my role is helping define the real problem before analysis begins.
How Engagements Work
All work is independently conducted and custom-scoped.
Most projects are structured as short, focused research sprints, with clearly defined outputs.
Scope, timeline, and cost are discussed after an initial conversation.
