COVID DATA ANALYTICS
Our team was formally deployed in March 2020 by FL AHCA to serve the State of Florida Emergency Response to the COVID Pandemic. Since then, our team has provided daily reporting to State Leadership to support data-driven decision making. Our current projects include interactive reporting on cases, hospitalizations, ESS and ENS data, hospital and facility resources, vaccination progress, and more.
FEDERAL NUTRITION PROGRAMS
Administering and monitoring federally-funded child and adult nutrition programs is a challenging task. Knowli has developed analytic solutions for States to detect anomalies in eligibility and service delivery by monitoring contractor and vendor trends. Equipped with these supportive analytic tools, States can effectively prioritize sites for reviews and audits for maintenance of program integrity, efficiency, and fiscal accountability.
STATE REGULATORY AND LICENSING AGENCIES
Knowli can help agencies take advantage of the rapid advances in technology to identify and assess areas of concern and opportunities for growth. Working to meet our clients’ needs, we have developed custom performance-monitoring dashboards, designed automated Early Warning Systems for financial and utilization parameters, and identified data-driven, practical solutions to improve agency outcomes.
LEGISLATIVE REQUESTS
State government relies on availability of timely, accurate information to support policy development and implementation. Our team supports State Agencies and other entities in preparing responses to Legislative Session information requests. Operating in a rapid-response environment during Session and Committee Weeks, we ensure that clear and correct information is delivered to decision-makers through appropriate channels.
EDUCATION POLICY AND RESEARCH
Knowli supports data-driven decision making and assessment research in the education sector. Knowli’s team has subject matter experts in educational research, with experience designing, implementing, and assessing educational interventions from K-12 through college.
SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH
Knowli’s team is well-trained in both qualitative and quantitative social science research methods. Our team can manage survey design and implementation, develop analytic dashboards to visualize trends, perform and analyze qualitative interviews, and produce statistical models that can address current issues and predict future outcomes.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is clearly making its way into the fabric of our lives, and the current cohort of U.S. young adults is perhaps the most AI “native” population yet. Our research suggests that using AI methods and applications to support traditional data management and analysis methods offers promise, improving efficiency, cutting costs, and increasing innovation.
Our team at Knowli applies our interdisciplinary experience and subject matter expertise to help organizations overcome challenges, anticipate opportunities for change and optimization, and make informed, data-driven decisions.

OUR APPROACH
RAPID ANALYTICS
Visual analytics supports our clients in answering time-sensitive questions far faster than could be achieved with traditional analytical methods. As the demand for fast project turnaround increases, rapid analytics are necessary to provide leadership with the information they need to answer data-centric questions and make informed decisions.
PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
Predictive models detect patterns found in historical and transactional data. We design statistical models to capture relationships between many factors to identify risks and opportunities associated with a particular set of conditions, guiding decision-making for a wide variety of situations.
VISUAL ANALYTICS
Visual analytics is the science of analytical reasoning, facilitated by interactive visual interfaces. At Knowli, we use visualizations to discover and explore patterns and anomalies within large, complex, and disparate data sources.
