Services
The work spans what you govern today, what you will govern next, and the rules being written now. This is a map of where each engagement sits, not a price list. Most begin in the first horizon. Many reach into the others. If you are not sure where your need fits, that uncertainty is a useful place to start.
The core work. Data governance, AI policy, and the structures that hold them. Each engagement is built to be adopted, not filed.
We design the policies, ownership, and stewardship that turn scattered data into a controlled asset, grounded in DAMA DMBOK2, the standard playbook for managing data as an asset. The framework fits how you already work, so people adopt it rather than route around it.
For a regulator standardising supervision, and a company proving control under audit.
Clear internal policy for how your organisation builds, buys, and oversees AI. What is allowed, who signs off, how a decision is explained, and how a model is reviewed once it is live.
For a central bank setting supervisory expectations, and a fintech deploying models under them.
We translate the rules that apply to you into controls your teams can run, from the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 to sector-specific obligations and BCBS 239, the Basel rules for how banks aggregate and report risk data. Compliance becomes a working system, not a binder on a shelf.
For the bodies writing the rules, and the operators meeting them.
One framework that holds across markets, mapped to the AfCFTA Digital Trade Protocol and the AU Data Policy Framework, the emerging continental rules for moving data between countries. Built once, not rebuilt for every jurisdiction.
For regional bodies harmonising rules, and scale-ups operating across several markets at once.
We help stand up the data and AI function: the mandate, the reporting lines, the first hires, and the operating model. The structure that makes governance someone's defined responsibility, not everyone's afterthought. For a young company, that can mean the difference between a control environment an investor or regulator trusts and one they question.
For institutions formalising the function, and companies building it for the first time.
Advisory for the technologies that are not yet regulated, while the framing is still open. The detail of how we read each frontier sits on the Research and Advisory page.
Written briefings that translate a frontier technology into the governance questions your mandate needs to address. Plain enough for a board, specific enough to act on the next morning.
For regulators and boards preparing before the technology lands.
Advisory for the window before a technology is regulated, when the framing is still open. We help you engage the design of the rules rather than inherit them once they are set.
For institutions shaping policy, and firms anticipating where it lands.
Governance built for a domain and its stakes, not a generic template. Healthcare data, diagnostics, and genomic privacy. Agriculture, climate modelling, and food security. We design oversight that fits the sector and the people it serves, and that a regulator and an operator can both work with.
For ministries and regulators, and the ventures operating inside the sector.
Research, writing, and convening. The intellectual contribution, turned into work others can read, cite, and build on.
Rigorous research and clear writing on the questions shaping the exponential era, from digital sovereignty to the reach of large platforms. Work that holds up to scrutiny and reads like it was meant to be read.
For institutions contributing to how the questions get answered.
Direct, specific briefings for senior leaders and boards. The state of a question, the options on the table, and what a decision now makes possible or forecloses later.
For governors, boards, and leadership teams.
We design and run convenings that bring the right people to a hard question: the framing, the agenda, the materials, and the follow-through that turns a conversation into a decision. The aim is a room where institutions lead the discussion rather than react to it.
For regional bodies, multilateral agencies, and senior forums.
How engagements run
We name the real problem before we design the solution, and we design for permanence.
Engagements run from four-week diagnostics to six-month implementation support, with retained advisory available for institutions that need a standing hand on these questions. Scope is set with you at the start, in writing.
The first step is the same in every case. A short, specific conversation about what you are governing, building, or preparing for.
