About Analysis & Numbers

Who?

Analysis & Numbers is a Scandinavian analysis and research company with offices in Copenhagen, Oslo and Harstad. We were founded in 2014, and currently have arond 30 employees in Denmark and Norway. We are democratically organised as an employee-owned and driven cooperative, with a flat structure with equal salary for all. 

What?

Analysis & Numbers specialises in quantifying complexity: we map social phenomena and tendencies, measure attitudes and behaviour, and quantify digital and social movements. Our work provides insight into complex topics such as volunteering, digital spaces, democracy and participation, the spread of hate speech, mis- and disinformation. We identify patterns and communicate our findings with precision and thouroughness.

How?

We are methodological nerds. We combine classic methods such as interviews, survey, focus groups and evaluation with new digital methods such as big data, network analysis, machine learning and algorithms. We love to explore new methods, while also applying classic methods in innovative ways. We invest time and effort into developing new methodological approaches and strengthening our expertise.

Why? 

Our mission is to create a more democratic, equal and socially just society. We believe that our contribution to this mission is through new knowledge and analysis of our society, but also through the way our company is structured. The battle for democracy and social justice also plays out in the workplace. That is why we have decided to organise ourselves democratically, and invest both our time and profit into strengthening internal and external democratic initiatives.
