Our Story
Providing clarity.
Since our beginning, we set out to establish a company that helped our clients solve complex problems with data. As our vision took shape, we developed a philosophy centered on solving these problems at the intersection of context, know-how, and communication.
​​
We strive to break away from the typical cookie-cutter and generic deliverables, out-of-context analyses, and inactionable static reports. Our process is iterative and bi-directional while embracing nuance and context.
‘Data is agnostic. Your problems are specific’

Our Name
Our company’s name is inspired by the undeciphered ancient writing system after which it is named. Linear A represents the unsolved problems we work towards resolving with our clients, partners, and collaborators.
​
However, if we are curious and intentional, listen to learn, understand nuance, and effectively translate data into insight, we will find the answers we seek.
‘The shortest way from Point A to Point B is a straight line, and every straight line is linear.’’
