Why Policy Performance Analysis Matters

Every government program deserves rigorous evaluation. Whether you're tracking a new healthcare initiative, measuring educational reforms, or assessing economic development programs, understanding what works—and what doesn't—is crucial for effective governance.

See how government professionals use Sourcetable to analyze policy performance across different sectors.

Healthcare Program Evaluation

A state health department analyzed their community wellness initiative by combining patient outcome data, program participation rates, and cost metrics. They discovered that programs in rural areas had 23% lower engagement but 15% better health outcomes per participant, leading to targeted resource reallocation.

Education Reform Assessment

A school district evaluated their new literacy program by tracking reading scores, teacher feedback, and parent engagement across 50 schools. The analysis revealed that schools with dedicated reading specialists saw 31% greater improvement, informing future staffing decisions.

Economic Development Impact

A city planning department measured their small business incentive program by analyzing job creation, tax revenue, and business survival rates. They found that mentorship components increased business success by 42%, leading to program expansion.

Housing Policy Review

A housing authority evaluated their affordable housing program by combining waitlist data, construction timelines, and resident satisfaction surveys. The analysis identified permit delays as the primary bottleneck, reducing project completion time by 6 months.

Environmental Initiative Tracking

An environmental agency monitored their carbon reduction program by integrating emissions data, business participation rates, and cost savings. They demonstrated $2.3M in community savings while exceeding emission reduction targets by 18%.
