PUBLIC POLICY

From diagnosis to text that can be published

Policy centres produce diagnosis. Almost nobody produces draftable regulatory text. That distance is a lawyer's craft.

The problem

We have advised the mining ministries of Chile, Panama and Ecuador on the design of regulatory frameworks for natural resources, with direct experience leading Chile's mining regulator.

The pattern repeats. The diagnosis is usually excellent, often produced by a multilateral or a university centre, and it is almost never accompanied by text that can actually enter a legislative or regulatory process.

The reform stalls in translation. Not for lack of political will and not for lack of analysis, but because nobody's job is to turn the finding into an article, with its transitional provisions, its sanctions regime and its institutional capacity note attached.

What it includes

Diagnosis of one specific instrument

Not the whole sector: a regulation, an award procedure, a model contract.

Compared against relevant jurisdictions

Two or three, with what worked and what did not.

Draftable regulatory text

Articulated and ready for the applicable legislative or regulatory process.

Implementation note

What institutional capacity the proposed rule actually demands, and whether the agency has it.

Fixed, closed price with no hourly billing. Guaranteed turnaround from receipt of complete background material. The full value of the package is credited against the following mandate if you engage us within six months. Delivered as a signed document plus a 60-minute presentation session.

Who it is for

Ministries, public agencies, multilateral banks and cooperation agencies. Available as an individual consultant and as local expert within consortia.

What comes next

Scope and fees are set by proposal, according to the organisation's procurement route.

Our limit, stated

With multilateral banks and cooperation agencies we enter as an individual consultant or as local expert within a consortium, not as a firm on a supplier roster. We deliver design and analysis: the rule itself is issued, signed and defended by the agency. And we do not comment publicly on the internal decisions of the ministries we advise — we criticise public policy, not the client who hired us.

Welcome to an interesting and productive conversation

Cultural gaps and different regulatory frameworks are tremendously intimidating when investing in an unknown jurisdiction. Sound professional support provides an edge.
