Powering Recovery Through Data - A Strategic Collaboration with Commonly Well
At Dolan Research International, we believe data isn’t just numbers - it’s a tool for transformation. Our collaboration with Commonly Well and the co-development of the Solomon platform exemplify our shared commitment to advancing recovery and workforce development through innovative, data-driven solutions.
From Insight to Impact: The Commonly Well Partnership
Commonly Well is a pioneering force in the recovery intelligence space, equipping service providers, policymakers, and funders with person-driven data solutions that illuminate the complexities of addiction and recovery. Their signature tool, the Recovery Capital Index® (RCI), offers a holistic assessment of personal, social, and cultural recovery capital - providing a powerful foundation for meaningful intervention to a person’s entire recovery care team.
Dolan Research International enhances this impact by helping organizations implement and interpret RCI data through a strategic framework. Our expertise ensures the data leads to actionable recovery strategies that are individualized, measurable, and meaningful.
Kirby: Turning Data into Direction
A soon to be integrated feature in the Commonly Well technology platform is Kirby - a data-driven, human-centered methodology that transforms raw insights into organizational action. Kirby bridges the gap between what the data shows and what the organization does next. It guides stakeholders through structured advisory cycles, helping them use recovery intelligence to shape programs, policies, and systems.
A cornerstone of Kirby is the Recovery Capital Plan, a personalized, data-informed roadmap that identifies strengths, gaps, and opportunities for long-term success. Dolan Research International was instrumental in designing the framework and methodology that generate these plans. Our team built the strategic logic model that connects RCI data with actionable goals, giving organizations a clear, customized plan to elevate outcomes and impact.
The Solomon Platform: Intelligence with Purpose
Co-developed by David Whitesock, Justin Smith, and Johanna Dolan, Solomon is a next-generation platform designed for recovery and workforce intelligence. It offers a dynamic interface where organizations can collect, analyze, and act on data across individual and systemic levels.
Key features include:
Workforce and wellness analytics that improve organizational performance
Integrated Recovery Capital Mapping via the RCI to assess long-term recovery trajectories
A user-centered experience that supports adoption and impact
Dolan Research International played a key role in building and field-testing Solomon’s strategic features and training content. We continue to support organizations in implementing the platform with fidelity, integrating recovery capital development strategies into their programs, and using recovery capital plans to guide lasting transformation.
