Data Science Consulting for Philanthropy
Mycelytics is the name of Jamie’s data consulting practice. It evokes parallels between the complex social systems philanthropy seeks to understand and the hidden, interwoven networks of fungal life. Both emerge through dynamic, decentralised, and interdependent processes.As with mycology, building knowledge for philanthropy requires careful unearthing, rigorous methodologies, and appreciation of systemic context.
