Pluricite

What Pluricite does

Pluricité is a French consulting, research, and training firm founded in 2004 and headquartered in Lyon, with additional offices in Paris and Bordeaux. The company specializes in public policy evaluation, social impact measurement, quantitative and qualitative studies, participatory consultation, and change management support, serving primarily French ministries, government agencies, regional and local authorities, and nonprofit/social economy organizations (an ESUS-accredited "Entreprise Solidaire d'Utilité Sociale" since 2014). Its core service portfolio comprises seven practice areas — evaluation, social impact measurement, quantitative surveys, citizen consultation, change management, training, and digital solution development — delivered through a group structure of four entities: Pluricité (parent), Synoptic (quantitative research subsidiary, 2008), EMOHA (sports policy specialist, 2016), and L'Autre Entreprise (social and solidarity economy). The firm has executed over 500 project references since 2004, including 50 international engagements, and operates a dedicated Lab ("Le Lab") developing digital solutions, data visualization tools, and exploring AI applications for evaluation work.

The business operates a B2G professional services model: revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements with public institutions and associative actors, acquired via direct proposals and competitive procurement rather than intermediated channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed for consulting work; published training prices include €1,200 per person for 2-day in-person sessions, €900 per person for distance learning, and €600 for individual coaching. Technology stack combines proprietary methodological frameworks with third-party tools (Microsoft O365, Tableau, Le Sphinx, O2Switch hosting) and an in-house digital Lab producing data visualization platforms and custom tools. The company is a private SARL with €185,940 share capital, co-founded by Thibaut Desjonquères (LSE economic researcher) and Paul Garcia (social economy practitioner), and is bootstrapped with no external funding rounds recorded.
