​We are a consortium of  independent experts,
with some history of collaboration.  We bring
advanced training and decades of industry
​experience in economics and artificial intelligence 
to bear on policy analysis, asset and ​contract
evaluation, expert ​testimony, and ​scholarly
research.  We explain quantitative analysis and
forecasts of energy, labor, housing, and financial
markets, and macroeconomic activity, using
plain language, orthodox economic theory, and 
econometric and mathematical techniques.  

The word "utility" in the name refers to a few 
things:  Our work is useful to our clients; much
of that work concerns public utilities; the ideas
of utilitarian philosophers feature prominently
in economic theory; that ​theory ​​comes alive ​
when used ​to understand events.
