Experienced
guides through
complexity.
Three Canyon Consulting is a two-person practice built on the belief that mission-driven organizations deserve thoughtful guidance — not unnecessary complexity, not enterprise overhead, and not one-size-fits-all advice.
We bring PhD-level expertise in data science, AI, program evaluation, grant development, and organizational strategy — and we do the work ourselves.
"We speak plainly.
We stay vendor-neutral.
And we do the work ourselves."
Thoughtful by design.
Working with a larger firm often means your project lands with someone two levels below the person who sold it. At Three Canyon, the people you meet are the people who do the work — start to finish, no exceptions. We built Three Canyon small on purpose: to stay close to the work, stay honest about what's right for your context, and stay invested in your outcomes — not in extending the engagement.
Interdisciplinary depth
Two PhDs spanning data science, AI, program evaluation, grant development, leadership, and organizational strategy — connected across fields that typically operate in silos.
Reviewer-informed strategy
We understand how funders, reviewers, and institutional decision-makers evaluate proposals, programs, and evidence. That perspective shapes everything we build.
Independent guidance
No vendor relationships. No upselling. No commissions. We give you our honest read on what fits your context, your team, and your goals.
We do the work ourselves
Every engagement is led by our principals — not handed off to junior staff or subcontractors. You get experienced collaborators at every stage.

Building the strategy behind the proposal — and the capacity to sustain what comes after.
Greg Chism PhD
Greg specializes in applied technical strategy — helping organizations adopt AI responsibly, build analytical infrastructure, and make sense of complex data. His work bridges research and implementation, translating technical decisions into systems that teams can actually use and maintain over time.
Translating complex technical decisions into systems that organizations can actually use and sustain.
Principles that shape every engagement.
These aren't aspirational statements — they're the standards we hold ourselves to on every project, with every client, at every stage of the work.
Plain language always
We translate complexity into clear decisions. No jargon, no unnecessary abstraction, no consulting-speak.
Honest over comfortable
We tell clients what we actually think — including when a path isn't the right one for their context or capacity.
Vendor-neutral, always
No tool commissions, no platform relationships. Recommendations are based entirely on fit and value.
Built to last
We design for sustainability — systems, strategies, and knowledge that organizations can carry forward independently.
