A confidential, decision-focused briefing designed for sovereign debt, stability, and investment leadership. We clarify what is priced in the current macroeconomic regime, how structural gaps translate into sovereign outcomes, and which decision gates must be sequenced to protect credibility and unlock competitiveness.
What you get
A live 60–90 min briefing (virtual or in-person) tailored to your institution and current constraints.
A short follow-up note (1–2 pages) summarising: priced variables, risks, decision gates, and recommended following actions.
Optional: a “red flags” section on credibility exposures (governance perimeter, reporting gaps, contingent liabilities).
Best for
Central banks, MoF/DMOs, SWFs, and cross-sovereign committees who need clarity quickly—without a long diagnostic cycle.
Typical inputs
A short pre-brief questionnaire + any public strategy documents you’re comfortable sharing. We can operate with limited data; perimeter comes first.
Country Snapshot Brief
A compact, committee-ready snapshot that translates a country’s macro and capital context into priced variables and decision priorities. Built to be read in minutes, and to serve as a shared reference across MoF/DMO, central bank, and sovereign investment stakeholders.
What it covers
What’s being priced (12–36 months) and why
Buffers & constraints (fiscal space, external position, stability channels)
Sovereign capital stack map (who decides/executes/reports)
Competitiveness bottlenecks most relevant to credibility
A macro-financial gender channel: where gaps transmit into labour supply, productivity, fiscal space, and stability
Decision gates: 0–90 days and 3–12 months actions
What you get
A 1–2 page brief in a consistent “Country Case” format
Optional: a one-slide executive summary for internal committees
Best for
Sovereign leaders who want a fast, defensible way to align stakeholders around priorities and sequencing.
Decision Gates Memo (Committee Note)
This is the document that turns strategy into execution. The Decision Gates Memo defines who decides what, by when, using which evidence, and what must be true before moving to the next stage. It is built for committees that need governance clarity, not narrative.
Core sections
Decision perimeter and mandate: what is in-scope/out-of-scope
Gate sequence (Gate 1 → Gate N): required decisions, owners, inputs
Evidence requirements: data perimeter, KPIs, verification logic
Governance: sign-offs, escalation, accountability, cadence
Credibility risks and mitigation (market/investor scrutiny readiness)
What you get
A committee-grade memo (typically 4–10 pages)
An implementation checklist and a decision calendar
Optional: workshop with the committee secretariat to operationalise the gates
Best for
MoF/DMO issuance committees, inter-ministerial task forces, central bank stability committees, and SWF governance bodies.
Bond Readiness & Use-of-Proceeds Architecture
An end-to-end architecture for sovereign thematic issuance that ensures your bond is credible, investable, and defensible. We design the full decision logic: eligibility, governance, KPIs, reporting, and verification—aligned with sovereign financing strategy and market expectations.
What we build
Readiness assessment: issuance objective, investor base, constraints, credibility risks
Use-of-proceeds taxonomy: eligible categories + exclusion logic
Governance architecture: decision rights, oversight, allocation processes
KPI framework: outcome KPIs that tie to macro-financial variables (where relevant)
Reporting cadence: allocation + impact reporting, with investor-grade structure
Verification/assurance pathway: what is verified, by whom, and when
What you get
A complete sovereign bond architecture pack (documentation-ready)
Optional: support for investor messaging that stays committee-grade (no theatre)
Best for
MoF/DMOs preparing debut issuances, scaling programmes, or upgrading credibility standards.
Credibility, Reporting & Verification Standard
A sovereign-grade credibility framework that reduces reputational risk and increases investor confidence. This standard defines what is measured, how it is validated, and how it is reported so that commitments withstand scrutiny and survive political cycles.
What it includes
KPI perimeter: minimum viable set + escalation pathway
Definitions and methodologies: measurement integrity and comparability
Data ownership model: who produces, who validates, who signs off
Reporting templates: allocation, performance, impact (where relevant)
Assurance logic: verification partners, cadence, and audit trails
“Credibility stress test”: where claims could fail under scrutiny
What you get
A practical standard you can institutionalise across programmes
Reporting templates and governance clauses you can reuse across issuances and mandates
Best for
Sovereigns that want to move from aspirational reporting to investor-grade credibility.
Sovereign Stability Stress Test (Cost-of-Inaction)
A macro-financial stress test designed for central banks and fiscal authorities to quantify how structural gaps—including gender-linked channels—transmit into growth, fiscal space, and stability risks. The point is not modelling theatre; it is committee prioritisation.
What it does
Maps transmission channels: labour supply → productivity → fiscal space → stability
Builds scenarios that committees recognise (baseline / adverse / policy delay)
Quantifies the cost of inaction (directionally robust, decision-useful)
Produces a prioritised action set tied to decision gates and governance
What you get
A stress test memo + scenario dashboard
A “priority levers” list for stability and fiscal committees
Optional: workshop to embed the tool into committee cycles
Best for
Central banks, macroprudential authorities, and MoF policy units needing decision-grade prioritisation.
SWF Allocation Model (Gender-Capital)
A strategic allocation and governance blueprint for sovereign wealth funds that links gender gaps to long-term risk/return and national competitiveness—without turning the portfolio into a “values” exercise. Built for investment committees.
What we build
Risk/return thesis: how gender-linked variables show up in long-term returns and national competitiveness
Eligibility and due diligence logic (sectoral and asset-class appropriate)
Portfolio guardrails and governance: mandates, KPIs, reporting and oversight
Integration into existing allocation frameworks (not parallel structures)
Optional: pipeline mapping for investable opportunities aligned with national priorities
What you get
An SWF committee pack: thesis + allocation logic + governance standard
Templates for decision memos and reporting
Best for
SWFs that want defensible integration into allocation and governance—without reputational exposure.
Implementation Partnering (As Required)
Execution support that respects sovereign governance. We partner to operationalise decisions using trusted delivery teams, while maintaining a clear committee-grade perimeter: decision integrity, reporting credibility, and coordination across institutions.
What we do
Stakeholder alignment and decision cadence
Data perimeter build (minimum viable first, then scale)
KPI systems and reporting production
Coordination across MoF/DMO, central bank, SWF, line ministries
Quality control on credibility and verification readiness
What you get
A structured implementation plan with governance and milestones
Ongoing committee support to keep decisions on-track
Optional: procurement support to select delivery partners and verification providers
Best for
Sovereigns that need execution capacity without losing governance discipline.
