About
Mijares Group is a research and advisory firm. We build the analysis behind decisions that cost money, write the operating standards that follow, and measure whether either one held. Three divisions, one rule: name the source or do not make the claim.
Why the firm exists
And the people who live with it rarely get a vote. Most advice arrives from somewhere above the work, confident, unsourced, and gone before anyone finds out whether it held. Mijares Group was built the other way round: the analysis is done to a standard a client can audit, the recommendation names what it rests on, and the failures get reported alongside the findings.
Much of the experience behind that came out of emergency medical services, an unforgiving place to learn a business: 24/7 operations, regulated to the hour, capital-heavy, thin margins, and staffed by people who leave if you get the culture wrong. Nothing about it is theoretical. What transfers is not the sector, it is the discipline of having to live with your own call.
What the firm does
01
Demand, unit economics, competitive position and where the money is actually going. The analysis behind an expansion, a closure, a price or a site, with the uncertainty given as a number rather than a hedge.
02
Organizational transformation on current best practice: culture, workforce and management development, operating standards with a measure against each one, and the change work that gets them adopted rather than filed.
03
Instruction and practice tools built from the federal practice guides, the published norms and the intervention literature, with every target read from the source report rather than quoted from a summary.
Who is behind it
Operator, leader, executive, clinician and researcher. Executive director of an emergency services organization carried back to profitability with overtime cut 30 percent. Business development manager for a multi-site region. Manager of a training center running seven programs for four thousand students a year. US Army combat veteran and a service-connected disabled veteran. Pursuing a Doctorate of Business Administration at Purdue University Global, researching how public data can be turned into decisions a board can actually defend.
Two decades in the field across a dozen organizations, roughly eight of them spent running one rather than working in it. Most people see a single company and assume that is how things are done. Seeing a dozen tells you what actually transfers.
Executive director of a 24/7 emergency services organization running roughly 14,000 service events a year. Full accountability for the number: prepared and administered the operating and capital budgets, reorganized staffing and scheduling back to profitability without dropping a shift of coverage, and took 30 percent out of overtime.
Business development manager for a five-site region covering roughly 1,500 square miles. Built the referral relationships the volume actually comes from, and targeted the outreach with ZIP-code-level payer analysis rather than by calling on whoever was friendliest.
We retracted our own finding after a permutation test showed it was an artifact.
Why that matters
A spatial-clustering result came out of the siting model that would have made a good slide. A permutation test said it was noise, so it was withdrawn and the withdrawal was published alongside the work. Nobody asked for that and no client would have known.
That is the whole proposition. Anyone can say they are evidence-led. The test is what they do when the evidence costs them something, and the only honest way to answer it is to show a case where it did.

Working with us
There is no analyst two levels down whose work nobody has checked. The person who builds the model is the person who flew the aircraft, ran the payroll and will sit in the room when the number is challenged. If that is not the right shape for your problem, we will say so rather than take the work.
