As we approach our corporate 25-year anniversary in 2025, we are proud of the record we’ve developed as a leader in the integration of research, technology and communications.  Our work in program evaluation, technical assistance, data science and technical assistance has also led us to develop products that increase quality, increase operational efficiencies and make results actionable.

Optimal spun off and is an authorized partner of Revelo Software and has developed platforms that enable real-time, data-driven and evidence-based decision-making. 

Optimal’s President and Principal Researcher, Mark Turner, will be a panelist at the 2025 Transportation Research Board Meeting on January 6, 2025. This panel will discuss some of the methodological issues associated with measuring DBE availability among ready, willing and qualified firms. The discussion will examine potential biases associated with using bidders’ lists, vendors’ lists, and related methods for measuring availability. It will compare the strengths and weaknesses of alternative approaches, such as the DBE list and Dun and Bradstreet methods. Additionally, the panel will consider the appropriateness of utilizing the Survey of Business Owners to assess DBE availability.
