The Analyst Institute claims it "is a clearinghouse for evidence-based best practices in progressive voter contact. The Analyst Institute assists organizations in building testing into their voter contact efforts, especially with regard to high priority topics."

Sasha Issenberg in the New York Times gave this description:

The Analyst Institute is "a firm quietly founded in 2007 by AFL-CIO officials and liberal allies, which seeks to establish a set of empirically proven "best practices” for interacting with voters."

"Nearly all of the Analyst Institute’s research is private, shared only among the participating groups. The institute’s Web site is almost comically empty, and the group’s name — two abstract nouns, cryptically conjoined — evokes a CIA front."
