Join as a specialist
Virtuous Cycle LLC is building a small bench of independent specialists to review and extend Epomena's analysis for paying clients. The standards below protect your name as much as ours.
Who we are looking for
Practitioners who can stand behind a public finding
- Public-finance and development economists
- Urban and regional planners
- GIS analysts and cartographers
- Health-impact and social-impact assessment practitioners
- Flood, coastal and resilience engineers
- Public-records researchers and data journalists
How your name is used
Five commitments
- Your name goes only on work you have reviewed. You are credited on the pieces you check, for the part you checked, and nowhere else.
- Your profile appears only with written consent. Name, photo and biography are published only as you approve them, and come down when you ask.
- Disagreement is recorded, not overruled. If you do not agree with a finding, the published work says so, or your name does not go on it.
- Conflicts are disclosed. Before each engagement you tell us about relationships with the parties involved; we do the same.
- Terms before work. Each engagement is scoped, with its fee and credit agreed in writing before work starts.
The work
See the standard before you sign up
Read the method, the sources and the corrections log, then look at a grant award, a county page or a worked example. If you would sign it, or know exactly what you would change, we would like to hear from you.
