Data GTA is Ontario’s people research agency
Understand Ontario
This isn’t the Canada of postcards & politeness.
Data GTA understands Ontario’s population because we are them. We know them from the inside. The parts of the Greater Toronto Area that don’t make the postcards. The Good, the Bad & the unCanadian.
Opinion Research
We conduct realistic opinion research in the Greater Toronto Area. Realistic research is different from the platitudes people repeat.
Make decisions with the reality of people’s beliefs & intentions.
Discreet Investigations
Data GTA uses public information to investigate non-compliance with Municipal or Provincial laws. Cost effective data helps local governments & insurers target enforcement.
Only publicly available information is used.
Cultural Training
Ontario has imported all the cultures of the world & its complexities. Now we all speak a different language & think a different thought. With the benefits of diversity, comes its challenges.
Get familiar with the new Ontario.
Plain Sight Investigations
OSINT: Open Source Intelligence is the secret of smart governments & corporates. What you want to know is often hiding in plain sight. The problem is sifting large amounts of data, often in multiple languages.
Data GTA discreetly uses public information to find what you’re looking for. We provide cost effective, actionable data.
Governments use us to target enforcement, increasing efficiency & revenue. Companies can detect fraud & limit damages.
Qualitative thinking
The limit of our information age is too much data. We curate data using a qualitative understanding of people & problems. Everything starts & ends with a qualitative understanding.
Data often lies. It leads to a false sense of security & flattery. A question asked by a small child can easily upend statistical certainty.
We’re not ashamed to ask the simple questions.
