Who We Are
A Research And Analytics Group, Not Just A Consultancy.
Research And Development Solutions (RADS) is a Pakistan-based research and analytics group working at the intersection of data systems and real-world implementation. We specialize in extracting insight from complex, incomplete, and fragmented datasets—and translating that insight into decision-ready tools for governments, donors, and implementing partners.
Unlike traditional consulting firms, RADS combines advanced analytical methods with field-tested implementation, particularly in urban informal settlements where data is weakest and need is highest.
What We Do
A Two Areas That Define RADS.
Research And Development Solutions (RADS) is a Pakistan-based research and analytics group working at the intersection of data systems and real-world implementation. We specialize in extracting insight from complex, incomplete, and fragmented
Advanced Analytics & Data Systems.
RADS performs advanced analytics across complex datasets in health, economics, climate, and development—spanning multi-source triangulation, small area estimation, AI/ML, geospatial modeling, and decision tools.
We transform fragmented data into reliable, decision-ready insight for policymakers.
Urban Impact Lab.
RADS tests scalable solutions in urban slums and informal settlements where conventional data systems fail—through population mapping, experimental research, and cross-sector implementation.
We do not just analyze systems; we test what works within them.
What We Can Do For You
Services We Provide.
Our strength lies in the methods we apply—each designed to make unreliable data usable and actionable.
High-level Statistical & Multi-dataset Analysis.
We apply advanced statistical methods to analyze large datasets and extract meaningful insights that help you design better, more targeted interventions.
Small Area Estimates & District level Mapping.
Use advanced modeling to generate precise local estimates, guide smarter resource allocation and high-impact interventions.
Data Management Services & Visual Analytics.
Organize, store, and maintain research data securely and efficiently for analysis and reporting, using into clear, interactive visualizations for better insights and decision-making.
GIS Digital Mapping & Population Counts.
Taking it down to the district-level, we use geographic information systems (GIS) to map populations, trends, and spatial data for planning.
Community Surveillance/ Outreach.
We have the capacity to embed ourselves into the communities and track public health or social trends through active data collection.
