Five divisions, one standard of evidence

Each division has its own team focus. All of them work to the same rules on method, documentation and review.

  • Methodnex Research

    Research excellence

    Study design, methods advice, instruments, protocols, and qualitative or mixed-methods work.

  • Methodnex Analytics

    Evidence and modelling

    Statistics, econometrics, modelling, visualisation and outputs that can be reproduced.

  • Methodnex Academy

    Capability building

    Live courses, cohort programmes, assessments and certificates of completion.

  • Methodnex Institutional

    Partnerships for institutions

    University workshops, research audits, surveys, and monitoring and evaluation.

  • Methodnex Digital Planned

    Product-enabled methods

    AI-assisted research workflows and optional software integrations. In planning, not yet available.

From the question to findings you can defend

The same five steps apply to a thesis chapter, a clinical study or a national survey. What changes is the depth at each step.

  1. 1

    Discover

    We clarify the question, the decision it informs and the constraints you work under.

  2. 2

    Design

    We choose a design, sample and measurement plan that will stand up to review.

  3. 3

    Analyse

    We run the agreed analysis and keep the code, assumptions and decisions on record.

  4. 4

    Validate

    A second reviewer checks methods, results and reporting before anything is released.

  5. 5

    Communicate

    You receive tables, figures and a plain-language interpretation you can defend.

The methods we use most, and when

We pick the method from the research question, not the other way round. If a simpler analysis answers the question, we recommend it.

Explore Services

  • Research methods

    Quantitative, qualitative and mixed designs, sampling and power planning.

    Also Stata and SmartPLS. We work in the software you and your reviewers use.

  • Statistical modelling

    Regression, multilevel and survival models, and structural equation modelling.

  • Psychometrics

    Reliability, construct validity, measurement invariance and scale adaptation.

  • Econometrics and forecasting

    Panel data, time series, causal designs and efficiency analysis (DEA).

  • Monitoring and evaluation

    Frameworks, indicators and impact assessments for programmes and policies.

Learning paths

Evidence for the sector you work in

The statistics are the same everywhere. The questions, data and reporting standards are not.

What you can expect from every engagement

These six commitments are written into our proposals, so you can hold us to them.

  • Methodological rigour

    Every design choice is tied to the research question and written down with its justification.

  • Reproducibility

    You receive the syntax or code with the results, so the analysis can be rerun and checked.

  • Confidentiality

    Data are shared through agreed channels only, and access is limited to the people on your project.

  • Mentoring

    We explain what was done and why, so you can present and defend the work yourself.

  • Independent review

    Deliverables pass a methodological quality check by someone who did not produce them.

  • Clear boundaries

    We support your research. We do not write it for you, invent data or promise acceptance.

We publish a case study only when the client has agreed in writing, or when the work is fully anonymised.

No case studies are public yet. When they are, each one will state the question, the method, the limits of the findings and who approved publication.

ANOVA or regression: how to choose

They are the same model underneath. The right choice depends on your predictors and on what your question asks.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of work does Methodnex take on?

Research design, statistical and qualitative analysis, survey and instrument work, reporting support and training. We work with individual researchers and with institutions. We do not write theses or papers on a client's behalf.

How is the work priced?

Research projects are quoted after a scoping conversation, because the effort depends on the design, the data and the deliverables. Courses will show a per-seat fee when dates are announced. We do not publish fixed prices for work we have not scoped.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the scope and on how ready the data are. Milestones and dates are agreed in the proposal before work starts, and we tell you early if anything changes.

How do you handle research data?

We ask for the minimum data needed and agree how it will be shared. Please do not send datasets through the website forms or ordinary email. Access is limited to the people assigned to your project.

Which training formats do you offer?

Live online sessions, in-person workshops, cohort programmes and private training for institutions. Recorded, self-paced courses are planned for a later phase.
