Economic & Operational
Analysis

Data-driven market studies, economic impact analysis, and organizational performance frameworks — the analytical foundation for institutional decision-making.

The Challenge

Institutions need analysis that
holds up under scrutiny.

Procurement decisions — especially those touching supplier diversity, contract awards, and program justification — are increasingly subject to legal challenge, legislative review, and public scrutiny. The analysis behind those decisions must be rigorous, defensible, and clearly communicated.

Miller³ has been conducting defensible economic and procurement analysis since 1988. Our studies have been presented in legislative hearings, cited in court proceedings, and used to justify billions in procurement program design. We know what holds up — and what doesn't.

What We Deliver

Four core
service lines.

Market & Economic Impact Studies
Disparity studies, availability analyses, and market assessments — the data-driven foundation for inclusive procurement programs that survive legal review.
Organizational Efficiency Reviews
Operational assessments that identify where staffing, process, and system inefficiencies are costing your institution time and money.
Performance & Accountability Frameworks
Building the KPI structures, reporting cadences, and accountability mechanisms that make program performance visible and improvable.
Data-Driven Market Analysis
Quantitative analysis of procurement spend patterns, vendor concentration, market availability, and economic impact across your contracting universe.
Our Approach

Rigorous analysis.
Defensible findings.

01
Scope & Framework
We define the analytical scope, relevant markets, time periods, and evidentiary standards required for your specific use case.
02
Data Collection
We collect and validate quantitative and anecdotal data — procurement records, market surveys, business census data, and stakeholder interviews.
03
Statistical Analysis
We apply appropriate statistical methods — disparity ratios, utilization analysis, regression models — to produce findings that meet legal standards.
04
Findings & Presentation
We deliver clear written findings and present publicly when required — our principals have presented before city councils, legislatures, and courts.
