California 2025 Research
Penta Insiders evaluates the effectiveness of policy conversations and provides data-driven insights from senior policymakers to those working closely with government. Our research helps improve engagement and deliver constructive resources that support better outcomes.
Each year, we survey and interview thousands of staff across all levels of government, with a particular focus on California. Our aim is to bring forward candid insights that strengthen public-private collaboration on the issues that matter most to the state.

We value your privacy. Participation in our research is completely confidential and findings are shared on a not-for-attribution basis. In our quantitative (survey) research, we only share aggregate findings without individual identifying information. In our qualitative (interview) research, we only share anonymized verbatims.
Our team goes directly to the source to find out what advocates can do to provide more effective relationships in government. We then use this feedback to provide advocates with a comprehensive understanding of how policymakers define productive and mutually beneficial advocacy.
