Every engagement starts with a conversation about the decision in front of you, and is scoped and priced to it in writing before work begins.
A short written answer to a single question, the one keeping you up at night, delivered while it still matters.
Your suppliers, staff and markets, mapped against the political risk of the countries you depend on, with the judgments that follow.
A standing watch on the countries that matter to you: a monthly note, and a call when something changes.
A structured session with your leadership to test plans against plausible futures before events test them for you.
A free 30-minute conversation to understand the question and confirm this is the right service for it.
Scope, deliverables, price and dates, confirmed in writing within two business days.
Current official and local-language sources, competing explanations tested, and a probability attached to every judgment.
The written product, then a call to work through what it means for your decision.
Every engagement is priced to its scope: the number of countries, the depth of work and the deadline. After an introductory conversation you receive a written proposal with the price, scope and dates, and no work begins until you accept it.
Often, yes. Put the deadline in your enquiry. A Flash Brief normally takes three to five business days, and we confirm before accepting whether a faster turnaround is realistic.
Yes. Client names, questions and findings stay private as a matter of course, and we will sign your non-disclosure agreement before you share anything sensitive.
Reports are written in English. Research draws on local-language sources, including Russian, and you can write to us in English, Russian or Albanian.
We do not work for persons or parties sanctioned by the US or EU, and we do not give investment, legal or compliance advice.
Tell us the decision you are facing. On a free 30-minute call we will say which service is proportionate, or whether you need one at all.
You will speak with Tyler Urish or Luca M. Mema. Everything you send is held in confidence.
