We answer questions like
- How is this initiative or investment actually being delivered in practice?
- Is delivery aligned with what was originally intended?
- What is working well and where are the gaps or challenges?
- How are participants, staff and/or stakeholders experiencing delivery?
- How do we make improvements without waiting until the end?
How it works
We provide a clear, evidence-based understanding of how delivery is working in practice. This includes comparing how initiatives or investments are being delivered against their intended design, and identifying what is working well and where there are gaps, barriers, or inconsistencies.
We bring together multiple sources of data and insight, including the experiences of staff, participants, and stakeholders, to build a well-rounded picture of delivery. Our approach is designed to generate timely insights that can be used during delivery, supporting real-time feedback and continuous improvement.
What this helps you do
See what’s really happening in delivery and understand how it’s working in practice.
Identify what’s working and what’s not across delivery.
Spot and address issues early, reducing delivery risk.
Turn evaluation into a practical tool for decision-making and learning.
Why us?
We are experienced in working alongside live programmes, where delivery is evolving and influenced by multiple actors. We know how to deliver honest insights while maintaining trust with delivery teams and stakeholders. We focus on producing practical, decision-ready outputs that support immediate action. This includes identifying not just what is happening, but why, and what can be done about it in a way that fits the realities of delivery.
“Working with Scarlatti means I can provide my expertise for a more complete project. I imagine some clients might be happy to give Scarlatti an objective and piece of work and say just do it, but our input and Scarlatti’s openness to different approaches is important to us.”
