TRUE HEADING COLLECTIVE

Creative direction • collective impact

Ideas gain momentum when people build them together.

True Heading Collective builds and stewards creative intellectual property, human-centered ideas, and collaborative ventures that move people and systems forward with purpose.

About the collective

A long-term platform for work that benefits from deliberate direction.

We make room for collective imagination and practical impact—bringing original ideas, creative work, and human-centered systems into a shared platform for meaningful momentum. “True Heading” means staying intentionally oriented as conditions change. “Collective” reflects the people, tools, and disciplines that help ideas become real.

What we do

01

Creative ventures

From early concepts to durable offerings, we help shape work designed to make a practical difference.

Ideas, tools, and experiments that pair emerging technology with discernment, care, and human possibility.

03

Intellectual property

Stewardship for original ideas, digital products, learning frameworks, storytelling, and publishing ventures.

What we offer

Academic Program Assessment

A written viability assessment for a single academic program, assembled from federal data and delivered as a PDF. Built for provosts, deans, and institutional research staff who need to know whether a program is heading somewhere — and why.

01

Every figure sourced

Completions, occupational projections, wage records, and graduate earnings — each traced to its agency and vintage, so any number can be challenged.

02

Interpretation, not a data dump

A verdict with reasoning: whether a decline reflects the field or the program, and what the labour market says about the degree as a route in.

03

Honest about its limits

The model’s measured agreement with expert judgment is printed in every report, alongside what the assessment cannot tell you.

More analyses: programs getting smaller what a program review needs

The first report is free. Each further report is $49, paid by card, no account and no subscription.
