Research Services
Policy Evaluation Research combines rigorous social science methodologies with professional operational support. We move beyond simple surveys to provide decisive intelligence that informs future policy decisions and investments to regulators, legislators, and the public.

Quantified Value Justification
We quantify the non-monetary value of your programs and initiatives. This creates a data-backed narrative essential for justifying public spending and demonstrating the value proposition of your existence.
Quantified Value Justification
Quantified Value Justification
We collect candid, authentic feedback from community leaders, remote landowners, and highly segmented group, data critical for policy planning and project longevity. This proactively guides policy and mitigates risks before they result in legal or reputational damage.
Our call center is now an objective, third-party hub for public access regulatory compliance. This offers a ready-made solution for public participation and ensures a clear audit trail for compliance and risk management.
Thorough, Relevant, & Swift
The competitive advantage you get is the seamless combination of our deep-seated local knowledge with sophisticated research capabilities, including regional Hard-to-Reach Populations and traditionally inaccessible or hesitant stakeholders, such as remote landowners, wary community leaders, and highly-specialized B2B partners. In the past, this involved complex recruitment for social welfare studies; now, it is applied to industrial challenges.

Preemptive Conflict Mitigation
​
WHR employs methods like Interviews, Surveys, and Focus Groups to identify local sentiments and environmental risks early. This proactive approach helps clients mitigate legal and reputational risks by adjusting policies and strategies.
The Bottom-line
Industrial clients with rising capital investments need services that provide clear, measurable return on investment (ROI); mere community goodwill won't suffice for substantial financial justification. Thus, Policy must produce metrics that aid financial and regulatory decision-making.
Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA)
​
Anticipate and mitigate environmental and social impacts. Rigorously quantify socio-economic effects.
Using advanced models, WHR measures how industrial projects influence local economies, job creation, and quality of life.
Community Empowerment Loop
​
We engage communities in monitoring their environment and resources, ensuring their input shapes local planning and decisions. By sharing Policy Evaluation data, we foster participation, resolve disputes, and strengthen governance, building trust and ensuring project success.
From Audit to Monitoring
Dynamic risk management replaces static audits, ensuring continuous monitoring for modern industrial operations. This approach supports long-term environmental performance and sustained community trust.
Sensitive Information Collected Effectively
With a long track record of handling sensitive information, such as personal health information (PHI), environmental matters, land disputes, or social and safety concerns, they are addressed with professional empathy and thoroughness.
