Statistical analysis, program evaluation, and research services for doctoral students, government agencies, NGOs, and heritage or OSINT clients. Led by a former Head of Research (Israel Prison Service, Lt. Col., retired) with deep experience turning data into decisions.
Pick the path that matches your situation. Each one leads to the services, tools, and track record relevant to you.
You need an external, senior evaluator who can produce evidence operational decision-makers will actually trust. Built on a large experience in a public-sector research branch.
You have a dataset, a research question, and a deadline. I handle the statistical analysis and methodology so your dissertation, paper, or report is defensible in review.
You are preserving a community's records, building a family history, or investigating an open-source trail. I design the platform, run the digitization, and deliver the dossier.
One research discipline, applied across three domains that share the same rigor: quantitative method, honest framing, and deliverables clients can actually use.
My work centered on recidivism prediction, rehabilitation program evaluation, terrorism studies (including research on terrorist recidivism following the Shalit prisoner exchange), and evidence-based corrections policy. That is the public-policy in practice.
Alongside it I run a growing digital heritage program focused on Moroccan Jewry: a Data-for-Good production platform (Yahasra.org) with 30,000+ burial records, archives of 29,000+ social-media posts from heritage groups, a dictionary of surnames, and a computational onomastics research program. The same infrastructure supports OSINT services for other clients: social network archiving, federated source aggregation, and open-source investigations. I also teach statistics and research methods at two universities, which keeps the classical-statistics consulting practice sharp.
Evidence-based evaluation for government agencies, NGOs, and criminal justice organizations. 25+ years embedded in the Israel Prison Service research branch, culminating in the role of Head of Research (retired Lt. Col.). I evaluate programs with causal methods, produce reports informing parole boards and corrections policy, and advise on responsible deployment of ML and AI in high-stakes decisions.
Biennial conference presentation on developing ML models for recidivism prediction while maintaining algorithmic fairness and transparency for parole board decision-making.
International presentation on evidence-based program evaluation, propensity score matching, and the impact of rehabilitation programming on reoffending outcomes.
PSM, IPTW, and sensitivity analysis applied to a cohort of released terrorist prisoners. Evidence-based evaluation of post-release outcomes for high-security populations.
Statistical analysis for social science research. I design studies, run the analysis, and deliver publication-ready results. Primary clients are doctoral students, faculty, research NGOs, and institutions producing quantitative reports. Deliverables are bilingual (Hebrew, English) and follow APA 7th edition conventions by default.
These platforms are part of my research infrastructure. They accelerate delivery and let clients explore data themselves. Every commissioned project is personally designed, analyzed, and reviewed.
Upload a dataset and let Claude guide the user through professional statistical analysis: descriptive statistics, inferential tests, and APA 7th edition write-ups. A workbench for researchers, doctoral students, and demographic studies.
Automated qualitative interviews between two AI agents, one researcher and one persona drawn from a reusable library. Useful for piloting instruments, stress-testing interview guides, and generating training material for qualitative coders.
Thematic and discourse analysis of online conversations around shared Moroccan Jewish-Muslim heritage, presented at an international information science conference. Methodology-led contribution.
Mixed-methods doctoral research on information behavior, social media recruiting, and online reputation evaluation. Foundation in information science methodology.
Building, preserving, and investigating. I design production platforms for heritage digitization, computational onomastics, and genealogical research, and I run OSINT services including social media archiving, federated source aggregation, and forum harvesting. The infrastructure that archives 29,000+ posts from Moroccan Jewish heritage groups is the same infrastructure that supports OSINT investigations for other clients.
These eight platforms are production infrastructure for the heritage practice. Clients can self-serve the archive; commissioned research, Heritage Dossier PDFs, and OSINT investigations are personally scoped and delivered.
The anchor platform of the heritage practice. Searchable by MJPN phonetic matching for surname variants, by Hebrew or Gregorian date, and by community, with maps tying records to geographic context. Each record can carry a QR memorial code linking a physical gravestone to its digital entry.
AI-powered genealogy workbench federating search across 9 heritage sources. Covers intake, family tree building, GEDCOM import and export, and Heritage Dossier PDF generation. Evidence Chain scoring rates the strength of each claim.
A 475MB+ indexed corpus combining Moreshet Moroccan Jewry articles, PDFs, and historical documents with 29,433 archived Facebook posts from 21 heritage groups (4,634 unique authors). SQLite FTS5 full-text search across the whole collection.
Queries 658 sources across roughly 16 categories in parallel: multilingual news (English, French, Hebrew, Arabic, German), government and legal databases, science, genealogy, security, fact-checking, and open data. AI analysis for entity extraction and summarization.
A daily observance layer over the Yahasra archive. Each morning Zikaron queries the database for those whose azkara falls near today's Hebrew date and lights a candle in their honor, so no azkara goes unmarked.
AI trip planner for visitors touring Jewish heritage sites in Marrakech and Safi: cemeteries, mellahs, and historic quarters. French-language interface. Presented at the Marrakech hackathon in April 2026.
A reference directory exploring the etymology and history of Moroccan Jewish surnames, drawing on the broader onomastics research program built around the Yahasra burial corpus and the MJPN phonetic normalizer.
A registry of 608 Moroccan rabbis linking biographical data to the wider Yahasra archive of communities and burial records, serving as a spine for scholarship, family memory, and tzadikim research.
Adapting Location Quotients, a novel Pair Surname Quotient (PSQ) metric, and temporal persistence analysis to 30,000 burial records. First systematic quantitative map of Moroccan Jewish naming geography.
Presentation of the platform, its computational methods, and its contribution to heritage preservation, at an international conference on archaeology, heritage, and identity.
