Our strategy, analysis, and policy advising uses a combination of anticipatory, participatory, spatial, systems shifting, political economy, supply chain, and 'crisis as constant' approaches.
We provide landscape responsive and context-specific mapping, diagnostic, coaching, assessment, and learning tools for a a spectrum of standalone programs, initiatives in various stages from pre-launch to sunset, and complex inter-agency or transnational efforts.
We craft and execute action and applied research through a combination of long form interviews, open source data searches, participatory and landscape mapping, and investigative approaches to produce informed, responsive, and actionable internal feedback loops, external strategies, and public research.
Unlike crisis management or reactive risk-mitigation, the coaching we provide takes crisis as a constant, and focuses on strategizing for organizational, political, and resource uncertainty, while introducing and committing to longer-term visions of narrative, political, or social transformation triggered by crisis contexts.

We focus on designing tailored structural assessments, frameworks, and databases for documentation, disclosure, or following the money or influence--that draw on hybrid data and narrative sources for specific user groups ranging from journalists, lawyers, coders, and engineers, to advocates, policy-makers, civil society groups, and socially conscious investors.
We analyze authoritarian, corporate, or general political strategy playbooks along with developing and deploying organizational, coalition, or network playbooks across sectors, goals, and time.
We design and facilitate simulations, scenario-mapping, experiential education, and complex multi-stakeholder decision-making processes for collective strategy, learning, preparedness, rapid response, and coordination, or positioning.
While the urgency of resource, crisis, and reporting needs creates limited conditions for imagining—let alone planning for—alternate futures, we facilitate and design a series of organizational, policy, and coalition-based simulations, exercises, and coaching efforts to support operational and strategic shifts toward futures beyond current resource, political, or social constraints.
