About Dianoetic

Dianoetic is a data and research consultancy dedicated to helping organisations turn complexity into clarity.
We specialise in building systems, models, and strategies that are rigorous, human‑centred, and built to last — especially in resource‑constrained environments.

Our work is grounded in the belief that good data is not just about precision, but about purpose.
Whether supporting policy design, program evaluation, or organisational infrastructure, we deliver solutions that are technically sound, context‑aware, and genuinely useful.

We value:

• Clarity over complication — making information accessible and actionable.
• Design that respects reality — aligning systems with how teams actually work.
• Impact that endures — creating tools and insights that remain relevant over time.

Pooya Karambakhsh

Economist · Data Strategist · Researcher

With close to two decades of interdisciplinary experience — and formal qualifications spanning engineering and social sciences — Pooya (LinkedIn) brings a blend of analytical rigour, technical depth, and human‑centred thinking to every engagement.

Holding degrees in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering (BSc, MSc) and Political Economy (GradCert, MA, PhD), he combines the precision of engineering with the contextual insight of academic research. This dual perspective enables the design of data solutions that are both technically robust and grounded in the realities of people, policy, and place.
