Stears conducted a multi-dimensional assessment of trust levels in key national institutions, generating detailed profiles for policy development and institutional reform. The data was used to design a public index that evaluates consumer sentiments and expectations in response to political shifts and policy advancements.

Stears engaged over 30 African CEOs and interviewed over 50 technology leaders across the South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana to produce recommendations for the Federal Government of Nigeria on its approach to domestic regulation of technology businesses.

Stears built Nigeria’s first real-time election data-site for the public. We employed first-of-its-kind mapping data to visualise voting results across all nationwide races. We created the only existing map of constituency boundaries for the legislative races and delivered results to users in real time via a mobile-first interface.

Stears built a proprietary estimation model that predicted voting patterns for silent voters, enabling comprehensive forecasts of the 2023 presidential elections. The underlying polling data included 22 questions (on demographics, voting history, top-of-mind-issues, religion, ethnicity, confidence in INEC etc), and was conducted in five major languages: Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Pidgin English and English
