Governance analysis methods
How to model policy scenarios and surface trade-offs in ways that are rigorous, reproducible, and explainable to non-specialists.
Research · Overview
Research, in the open.
Good governance tools must themselves be governable: explainable methods, checkable sources, published reasoning. Our research program exists to keep us honest.
What we study.
Feedback & consultation
How to synthesize large-scale public input faithfully — preserving minority views instead of averaging them away.
AI safety in civic contexts
Where AI assistance helps governance and where it must stop: oversight boundaries, failure modes, and accountability design.
Publication principles.
Open methods
We publish how our analyses work, so results can be challenged on the merits.
No client data
Research publications never include confidential client or user data. Ever.
Cite everything
Claims trace to sources. If we can’t source it, we say so plainly.
Correct loudly
When we get something wrong, the correction gets the same visibility the error did.
