Who we are
Our story
Scarlatti started in 2004, helping organisations make better decisions using evidence, insights and practical analysis. Our name comes from both an Italian composer and a much-loved family cat!
Since then, we’ve expanded our team, opened offices across Aotearoa New Zealand, worked with clients here and overseas, built new tools, and evolved how we work.
A lot has stayed the same over the last 20 years. We’re still curious about how things work, enjoy getting stuck into complex problems, and keep our clients at the heart of everything we do.

Our approach
There’s no single way we work, because every project is different. But a few things stay consistent. We:
- Start with what matters by understanding the question, context, and decisions behind the work.
- Work alongside you by valuing whanaungatanga and building strong relationships.
- Tailor the approach by designing each project around its unique question, and drawing on the right methods and expertise.
- Focus on what happens next by making sure our work is practical, clear, and ready to use.
