Research

The behavioral backbone of modern municipal operations.

PublicInsight™, supported by the research leadership of Dr. Allison Weiss Rothschild, PsyD, MSW, LICSW, BCBA, LABA, defines how PublicLogic learns, teaches, and standardizes change.

Our Research Foundation

Modernization succeeds when it is built on predictable behavior, clear standards, and repeatable learning. PublicInsight™ is our structured approach to understanding how municipal systems actually function in real workplaces. Our research informs the SOPs, training, and operational models that help towns move forward with confidence.

Behavioral Instruments

PublicInsight™

PublicInsight™ uses short, high-signal instruments to measure readiness, workflow friction, staff load, communication patterns, and adoption health. These tools are non clinical, plain language, and designed specifically for municipal environments.

The focus stays on the system: how work moves, where breakdowns happen, and what structures improve outcomes. No HR data, no monitoring, no performance scoring. Only operational truth.

SOPs and Operational Standards

Standard Operating Playbooks

Research findings directly shape each community’s SOPs. We convert behavioral insights into practical, step-by-step playbooks that clarify roles, improve communication, and reduce operational risk.

These playbooks are built for real municipal constraints. They shorten onboarding, support compliance, and give staff confidence with new systems and expectations.

Training and Learning

Evidence-based Training

Dr. Allison Weiss Rothschild leads the research and behavioral architecture behind all PublicLogic training. Her work ensures that every module, workshop, and implementation plan is grounded in cognitive load, attention, sequencing, and follow-through.

The result is training that is clear, repeatable, and built around how municipal teams actually learn and adopt.

Methodology

Low friction, high signal

Instruments typically take under five minutes and are designed to fit seamlessly into municipal workflows. Every question ties directly to decisions about staffing, workflow, training, or compliance.

Ethical and compliant

All research aligns with state retention schedules, public records requirements, and municipal privacy expectations. We retain only operational signals — never personal identifiers. Research is built to support transparency, not surveillance.

How Findings Become Action

Insights from PublicInsight™ translates directly into operational changes: SOP updates, workflow tuning, training sequences, staffing adjustments, and risk reduction. Municipalities build lasting structure by learning from their own lived experience.
