How I work with clients
From a one-time review to a standing monthly relationship.
Research-Function Review
An outside check on the research your decisions rest on. I test the logic, the methods, and the blind spots, and tell you what holds up.
Credibility & Media
Economist authority and national-media reach, attached to your work, without building that platform yourself.
Research-Driven Content Engine
Turn the customer data you already own into original economic research that experts respect and customers actually read.
Advisory Retainer
An economist tracking your markets month to month, flagging what matters before it becomes urgent. No added headcount.
New analysis most weekdays.
Plain-English reads on housing, jobs, inflation, and the Fed, with the charts and data behind them. Free by email.
About Orphe
For more than a decade I’ve worked on the questions decision-makers have to answer: where housing is heading, what the job market is really doing, and why rates move. I build the models and indexes behind the answers, then explain them plainly on CNBC, in my Crain’s column, and on the Everyday Economics podcast.
