Better questions.
Clearer responsibility.

Boardroom and editorial counsel, grounded in the same research and measurement that inform our published work.

For media leadership, supervisory boards, regulators, publishers, foundations and funders.

Information governance at board level

Where responsibility for the information function sits, what a supervisory board should be able to ask, and which signals should reach it before a problem becomes public. A written assessment makes the questions and responsibilities explicit.

Editorial measurement and benchmarking

Structured analysis of framing, omission, narrative structure and tone using ANCHORS, our annotation protocol. Applied to your own coverage, a group of competitors or international reference points.

Policy and consultation analysis

A structured reading of legislative proposals, consultations and regulatory advice. Source texts, the positions of others and our own analysis remain visibly separate, with traceable references.

Ways to work together

A format to fit the question.

Briefing

A half-day session with a board or editorial leadership on a defined question, followed by a short written record.

Commissioned dossier

A sourced analysis, typically over four to eight weeks, delivered for public use or confidential discussion.

Retained counsel

Ongoing support through a policy cycle or transition: monitoring, written notes and participation in the conversations that matter.

What are you working through?

Write to discuss a briefing, commission or research collaboration.
