Policy Strategy, Analysis & Executive Advisory 

We monitor and analyze federal and state legislative, regulatory and policy developments, including proposed and enacted laws, implementation requirements, enforcement and litigation developments, emerging policy trends and industry standards. Our work includes actionable multi-jurisdictional trackers and comparative analyses that assess applicability, timing, operational and product impact, areas of divergence, emerging risks and opportunities, and strategic significance. We help clients prioritize what requires product or compliance action, what warrants policy engagement and what can continue to be monitored; develop and refine policy positions; support internal decision-making; and translate complex developments into practical business, product and policy strategies, executive briefings and board-level guidance.

Stakeholder Engagement & Advocacy 

​We help clients build credibility, develop effective relationships and engage strategically with policymakers, regulators, education agencies and school systems, privacy and child-safety advocates, NGOs, industry organizations, standards bodies and other stakeholders. Our work includes strategic introductions and relationship-building; coalition and industry engagement; participation in working groups, standards initiatives and multi-stakeholder forums; development of policy positions and briefing materials; executive preparation; and representation in appropriate policy discussions and forums. We help clients understand stakeholder perspectives early so those perspectives can inform product, policy and business strategy before issues become more difficult to address.
