About Us

Depthwise was created to make research accessible to K-12 education leaders. We bring PhD-level expertise to every project, with an approach grounded in rigorous evidence, collaborative partnership, and clear communication.

The name Depthwise reflects how we work: going beyond the surface to listen deeply, generate evidence, and work with leaders to turn evidence into action.

Districts choose Depthwise for:

  • Practical research that gives leaders evidence they can use to make decisions.

  • Systems insight that links district context with broader trends in education.

  • Clear communication that makes findings easy to share with stakeholders.

  • Actionable facilitation that turns evidence into concrete next steps.

Depthwise bridges research and practice, helping districts move from evidence to action and deliver meaningful impact for students and communities.

About the Founder

Depthwise was founded by Dr. Miles Davison, a sociologist passionate about making research meaningful for schools and communities. Miles has published in leading academic journals while also working alongside districts, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations to turn evidence into action. A natural bridge between research and practice, his work focuses on helping leaders plan strategically, engage stakeholders, and understand the impact of their programs and policies.
