ABOUT US


Our name is derived from the flagship reporting website-product, fully titled: “The Comparative Performance Resources Website”.


As its title suggests, this web-based annual subscriber website, its datasets, applied statistics, tables, graphs and taxonomy of catalogued IP are designed to provide Councils with ready-to-run intellectual property. In addition, we provide bespoke special purpose in-house developed reports-tables- charts, customised to Council specifications. In all, a huge treasure trove of publicly sourced case study and research-based New Zealand Local Government policy content.

Our firm’s competencies cover the policy fields of economic, financial and performance related best practice.

We have a small number of Auckland-based highly qualified people (principal and staff) who are ready to respond to your enquiries.
