The Opportunity

Transparency Has Never Been More Attainable

Thanks to big data, smartphones, and open datasets, we can assess government decisions and corporate actions with unprecedented clarity.

Yet there's a missing link: this data is often inaccessible to motivated stakeholders who lack technical tools to analyze it and draw useful insights.

The Gap We Bridge

NGOs and local actors driven by impact but without resources

Advanced capabilities in data gathering, cleaning, and analysis

Our Mission

Democratize Evidence-Based Decision Making

We empower civil society by transforming complex data into clear, non-partisan insights that anyone can use. Our platform makes advanced analytics tools freely available to NGOs, researchers, and decision makers.

Our Vision

Evidence Powers Progress

A world where unbiased data insights are at everyone's fingertips, driving transparency, civic engagement, and real-time progress.

Our Approach

Lean and Mean

We combine startup speed and creativity with technical excellence to challenge the NGO status quo.

How We Work

Trusted Data Collection

We use only data from public sources or own research, keeping our work unbiased and transparent.

Balanced Insights

We highlight successes and challenges alike, letting users draw their own conclusions.

Empowerment Over Judgment

We provide tools, not verdicts. Our goal is to enable informed decisions by exposing the facts.

Our Belief

Information Sharing Drives Progress

When data insights are accessible to everyone, it fosters education, awareness, and better decisions across society.

The Challenge

Analytics Shouldn't Be a Luxury

Advanced analysis is often reserved for well-funded private actors. Civil society deserve the same tools to drive positive change.

Our Story

How 3DL Started

Hugo Zlotowski

Founder & Director

LinkedIn

The Data Driven Decision Lab was founded in 2025 by Hugo Zlotowski, an AI and economics researcher with experience advising public sector entities on policy adoption and public-interest use cases.

With a background spanning macroeconomic forecasting, computer vision, and nation-scale AI platforms, Hugo recognized a critical gap: while powerful data tools transform public and private sector decision-making, civil society organizations lack access to similar capabilities.
