Review documents, interview stakeholders, and map recurring patterns to improve responsibilities, procedures, and communication.
Scope may include strategic communication, dispute preparation, and reputation-related responses.
We examine systems, not individual fault. We do not conduct misconduct investigations.
Deliverables
- Findings and strategic recommendations.
- Responsibilities, decision points, and procedural gaps.
- Decision criteria, review procedures, and communication protocols.
- An implementation plan with responsibilities, trade-offs, and evaluation measures.
Disability Inclusion & Policy Design
Make participation policies more inclusive.
We help sports organizations, NGOs, foundations, and institutions identify disability barriers and develop policies informed by research and affected participants.
When to engage
- Exclusionary or inconsistently applied eligibility rules.
- Policies that create disability barriers.
- Unclear accommodation, exception, or appeal processes.
- Competing inclusion, child protection, and policy objectives.
Scope of work
Review policies, rights frameworks, and eligibility criteria; consult participants and specialists; and develop revisions and accommodation, exception, or appeal procedures.
Deliverables
- Policy research and findings.
- Analysis of participation barriers and competing obligations.
- Proposed policy revisions and review procedures.
- An implementation plan with responsibilities, consultation needs, and evaluation measures.
Scientific & Regulatory Research
Connect scientific evidence with project requirements.
We prepare evidence reviews, regulatory research, and technical documentation for research institutions, scientific organizations, and NGOs.
When to engage
- Decisions requiring scientific or technical evidence.
- Unclear research or program requirements.
- Applications, protocols, or policies needing research support.
- Scientific findings needing a policy brief or publication.
Scope of work
Define the question; review scientific, institutional, and regulatory sources; and distinguish established findings, uncertainty, and questions for specialist review.
Deliverables
- A referenced research brief or evidence review.
- A requirements matrix and record of unresolved questions.
- Draft policies, technical documents, or application-support materials.
- An organized source record and recommended next steps.
Intellectual Property, Biological Resources & Traditional Knowledge
Use knowledge, biological resources, and creative work responsibly.
We research access, attribution, participation, and benefit-sharing requirements across intellectual property, biological resources, and traditional knowledge—and design procedures for responsible collaboration.
When to engage
- Projects involving biological resources or traditional knowledge.
- Questions about access, attribution, consent, or benefit-sharing.
- Unclear responsibilities for contributed knowledge or materials.
- Third-party content requiring permission.
Scope of work
- Research & Analysis
- Review IP frameworks, policies, and project requirements; identify stakeholders, competing interests, and unresolved questions.
- Stakeholder & Process Mapping
- Map access, use, attribution, and transfer of knowledge or materials, including participation and benefit-sharing.
- Framework & Documentation Development
- Draft access, attribution, permission, and benefit-sharing procedures with documentation for organizational and specialist review.
Deliverables
- A referenced research brief and requirements analysis.
- Stakeholder, knowledge or material flow, and decision maps.
- Proposed procedures for access, attribution, permissions, or benefit-sharing.
- Supporting documentation and questions requiring specialist legal review.
Includes copyright permissions research and coordination. Patent prosecution and legal opinions require qualified counsel.
Educational Tools & Simulations
Practice complex decisions and explore their consequences.
We create educational games, simulations, and scenarios that model rules, choices, incentives, and resources—helping professionals practice decisions that affect others.
When to engage
- Practice for difficult professional situations.
- Training on how individual choices affect a system.
- Specialist knowledge needing an interactive format.
- Scenarios for applying existing guidance.
Scope of work
Define learning objectives; develop scenarios, roles, decisions, and feedback with subject-matter specialists; then prototype and test.
Deliverables
- A learning and design framework.
- Scenarios, decision pathways, and instructional content.
- Prototype materials and facilitator guidance.
- A testing plan and recommendations for further development.
