We are a consulting firm that combines the rigor of social sciences with scientific innovation to create equitable, inclusive, and sustainable solutions.
We have a multidisciplinary network of specialized professionals who adapt to the specific needs of each project. We do not offer generic solutions: each intervention is designed based on evidence and implemented with methodological rigor, responding to the particularities of each context.
We work with companies, public institutions, civil society organizations, and educational centers that seek to strengthen their capacities through strategies based on solid research and participatory processes.
Data and Evidence
We collect, analyze, and translate data into useful knowledge for action. We combine mixed methodologies with digital tools—such as Conversa, our survey platform—to generate reliable evidence.
Our experience allows us to access and build trust with hard-to-reach populations, directly managing the authorizations, local partnerships, and logistical processes necessary to collect information in diverse and complex contexts. In all our projects, we ensure that information gathering is ethical, secure, and in accordance with the highest standards of research quality.
Our services include:
Conducting interviews and focus groups in the field.
Automated data collection using chatbots.
Cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing quantitative and qualitative data.
Institutional management.

CONVERSA, our conversational platform for digital, inclusive, and secure surveys.
Conversa is a tool developed by Otrera for collecting information through WhatsApp. It allows you to identify and segment participants, randomize questions and questionnaires, integrate voice responses, and distribute incentives automatically. Its flexible and accessible design facilitates the participation of diverse audiences in conducting surveys, monitoring programs, or gathering perceptions in communities, workplaces, and organizations, ensuring a secure and ethical experience.
With extensive experience in applied research and fieldwork in challenging environments, we support universities and research institutions in every phase of the research cycle: from instrument design and engagement with key stakeholders, to managing access to key informants, data collection, systematization, advanced data analysis, and comprehensive management of multi-year projects.
We support companies committed to generating economic and social value through comprehensive solutions that transform aspirations into measurable results. From impact assessments aligned with global standards to the development of AI-enabled digital tools, our team integrates applied research, participatory design, and technical expertise to help each organization achieve its goals.
We support development actors in the design, implementation, and evaluation of programs that generate sustainable change. From high-level strategic advice to direct support in the field, our team combines expertise in applied research, rigorous evaluation, and institutional capacity building.
Our Approach
We combine technical rigor with social sensitivity, ensuring that each intervention generates sustainable and measurable change. We use participatory and co-creation methodologies to ensure the relevance of our solutions.
Our work is guided by a set of fundamental principles that ensure relevance, quality, and equity in each of our interventions:
Relevance
We start with an in-depth analysis of each context to ensure that our actions respond to the needs and aspirations of our clients.
Quality
We promote transparency, accountability, and technical excellence in all our processes, operating with ethical standards aligned with international frameworks.
Equity
We integrate equal opportunities into all phases of the project, recognizing and addressing differences in origin, gender, age, and condition to maximize impact and encourage meaningful participation.
