Our History
NSI is a certified Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) founded in 2007 headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Our focus has been to deliver innovative social science solutions to government clients for a variety of national security and operational imperatives. Our government clients want insights and a rich understanding of the overwhelming complexity of people and their behaviors for various critically important and complex decision-making problems.
In 2011, expanding and diversifying our client base was a top priority. Our strategy was to provide our analytic expertise to clients in the commercial sector needing to better understand customers and their behaviors. We focused on bringing greater discipline to measuring customer interactions, sentiment, and service. We successfully piloted a project with a major video game developer then and since have substantially grown this work.

Our researchers and analysts have expertise in social psychology, statistics, research methods, economics, cultural anthropology, decision science, business management, predictive modeling, political science, international relations, communications, mathematics, computer science, and other disciplines.

NSI has significant expertise and many years of hands-on experience applying quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research and analytic methods.
Nationally Recognized Leaders
NSI’s leadership is comprised of nationally recognized experts with diverse backgrounds from premier government, industry, and academic institutions.
