Just Outcomes, LLP

What Just Outcomes, LLP does

Just Outcomes, LLP (legally incorporated as Just Outcomes Consulting, Inc) is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2013 by Catherine Bargen, Matthew Hartman, and Aaron Lyons, specializing in restorative justice consultation, facilitation, training, and research. The firm operates from offices in Portland, Oregon and British Columbia, Canada, and serves government agencies, community organizations, schools and post-secondary institutions, workplaces, faith communities, and philanthropic organizations globally. Its service portfolio spans six core lines — Consultation, Facilitation, Coaching, Intervention, Program Development, and Research & Evaluation — supplemented by productized training (Restorative Leadership Public Training at $245 USD per session) and a subscription Learning Lab launched in January 2025 meeting twice monthly.

The firm's underlying technology is essentially human expertise rather than software: its competitive advantage rests on the co-founders' shared Master's-level training from the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University, combined with 20+ years of practitioner experience in restorative justice implementation. No proprietary technology products, platforms, APIs, or AI systems are developed or sold. The firm has nonetheless built intangible assets in the form of published resource guides (notably 'Serving Crime Victims Through Restorative Justice' and 'Restorative Justice in Youth Correctional Facilities') and a brand recognized by major Canadian and U.S. government buyers including the Department of Justice Canada, Alberta Justice and Solicitor General, Multnomah County, Oregon Youth Authority, and the RCMP.

Just Outcomes generates revenue through three streams: bespoke project-based consulting contracts with institutional buyers (the largest stream), public virtual training programs priced per session, and a newly launched subscription-based Leadership Learning Lab targeting individual leaders. Pricing is opaque for consulting engagements (requires contact) and the firm offers financial assistance for trainings where cost is a barrier. Go-to-market is primarily relationship-driven through referrals, direct outreach, and content-led thought leadership via the firm website, publications, webinars (including with the Zehr Institute), and conference presentations. The firm operates with a small team of 1-10 employees plus an Associate (Michelle Jackett) and has no disclosed external funding, ownership changes, or M&A activity.
