Experience across Canada's public and capital markets

Complex mandates need more than information. They need evidence organized for action.

We connect public records, market data and operating context so leaders can see what is viable and what must happen next.

Budgets: What can be funded, from which envelope, and on whose fiscal calendar.
Regulation: Which rules bind the decision, and which of them are actually moving.
Procurement: How the work can legally be reached, and who is already positioned.
Governance: Who signs, who delivers, and where accountability sits afterwards.

Bring us an active decision

Our work starts when a mandate, funding change, regulatory event or market opportunity creates pressure to act.

From evidence to execution

We can stop at a decision brief or stay through design, build and handover.

Stop at the brief

Opportunity screens, business cases, precedent and comparator research, policy analysis. The argument arrives built to survive the review that decides it.

Clear scope. Useful output.

Agreed before any research starts. Nothing outside it gets billed.

The six checks, each sourced. Open ones are named as open, not smoothed over.

A brief, a model, a data product or working software, depending on the scope record.

You can run it, change it and defend it without us in the room.

Before you write to us

The questions that come up first, answered the way we would answer them on a call.

No. One of the five shapes stops at a decision brief, and it is a complete piece of work on its own. The scope record fixes what is in the engagement before any research starts, so taking the first stage does not commit you to the next one.
Against the scope record, fixed. That record names the decision, the owner, the success measure and the final output before we begin, and anything outside it is a separate scope and a separate fee. There is no hourly drift.
Usually. Standing offers, supply arrangements and existing master agreements are the normal route, and we would rather use the one you already hold than ask you to run a new process. Tell us what you have and we will tell you whether it reaches us.
You do. Documents, models, source and repository access transfer on delivery with the commit history intact, and the assumptions in the model are documented rather than buried. The test is whether your team can change it and defend it without us in the room.
Then the brief says so, and names what would have to change for the answer to be different. Checks we cannot close are reported as open rather than smoothed over. You are paying for a reading you can take to a board, which means it has to be one we would defend under questioning.
Set by your decision date, not by us. The scope record names the date the decision has to be made by, and the work is planned backwards from it. If the date does not leave room for the work, we say that before you commit rather than after.
