BARSS for Haiti

Bertil's Analytics Research Sciences & Sorceries

The research, the reporting, and the site it all lives on.

BARSS is a small shop doing the work most Haiti-facing organizations cannot hire for separately: the data research behind the decision, the impact report the funder will actually accept, the market study that says whether it works, and the trilingual site that carries it. One operator, five lines, everything delivered as something you own.

What we do

Five lines. Every one ends in something you can use on Monday.

Data

Data & Research

The question underneath the decision, answered with sources you can check. Economic baselines, entity and network research, displacement and funding data, custom datasets built to your program's shape.

Scope & deliverable
Reporting

Impact Reporting

Your program has the data. It does not have the report the funder will accept. We build the measurement frame, run the numbers, and produce the document, plus the template so next cycle costs you a fraction.

Scope & deliverable
Market

Market Research

Whether the thing works before you spend on it. Sizing, feasibility, willingness to pay, diaspora demand, competitive landscape, pricing... with a written recommendation, not a deck of maybes.

Scope & deliverable
Web

Web Design & Build

Sites that load on a phone on a bad connection, in the language your audience actually reads. Designed, built, deployed, and handed over with the source and the scripts. No CMS rent, no agency lock-in.

Scope & deliverable
Advisory

Consulting & Systems

The structural problems: capital stacks, partner diligence, intake and forms systems, program design, getting operations off somebody's personal inbox and onto something the organization owns.
