About Closed Loop Research
At Closed Loop Research, I deliver evidence-based analysis and insights, built on a foundation of technical rigor and independence. As the sole owner, I am dedicated to supporting public inquiry through disciplined data work and transparent methodologies.
Founded by Mark Gilson, a computer engineer and scientist with over 15 years of experience in complex systems and applied research, Closed Loop Research emphasizes precision and analysis rooted in investigative research and data science. I apply engineering discipline, statistical analysis, and custom tooling to public records, legislative data, financial filings, demographic information, and video transcripts. My approach surfaces patterns, inconsistencies, and context often missed by surface-level review.
Independence and Credibility
At Closed Loop Research, I operate independently from all external entities and accept only selectively vetted engagements. I prioritize rigorous, transparent analysis and offer research to journalists, civic organizations, campaigns, and stakeholders seeking credible, context-driven understanding of public information.
