About
We built these tools before we built this firm.
Origin
Veridian Advisory Partners was founded by economists whose working lives were spent inside the institutions that commission economic analysis rather than outside them. Between the founding partners, the firm’s record spans forecasting, impact assessment, and market intelligence work from 2008 to the present, documented project briefs covering macroeconomic and industry-level models, demographic projections, affordability and competitiveness indices, input–output frameworks, municipal fiscal analysis, and commodity and construction input price forecasting.
How we work
Four commitments govern every engagement.
-
We state our assumptions before we state our conclusions.
You should be able to see what the answer depends on before you see the answer.
-
We calibrate against real data and report the back-cast.
A forecast that has never been tested against history is an opinion.
-
We distinguish an estimate from a prediction.
An impact estimate and a forecast are different objects. We say which one you are holding.
-
We tell you where the model stops being reliable.
A client who understands the limits can use an analysis far more aggressively than one who does not.
Independence
Working outside an institution changes what we can say. We are not managing an internal reporting line, a budget submission, or a political calendar. That independence is the reason clients bring us the questions that are difficult to answer from the inside.
