Services
Every engagement starts with listening. Once we understand your goals and constraints, we recommend the right approach, define the scope, and deliver work that helps you understand the issue, make an informed decision, and take action with confidence.
Engagements can be a single project or an ongoing relationship, whichever serves you best.
Strategy and analysis
Facing a decision that deserves a closer look?
- Focused Analysis
- A clear-eyed look at a policy, regulatory, or operational problem: what’s at stake, how it affects you, and the paths and solutions available to you. We work through it with you and deliver a practical, reasonable recommendation.
- Research and Analysis
- In-depth research on the questions that shape your strategy, from the legal and regulatory landscape to how other organizations and jurisdictions have solved the same problem, distilled into findings you can use.
- Project Support
- Experienced capacity for businesses, consulting firms, and organizations facing a demanding project, a tight deadline, or a gap on the team.
Policy and legislation
Is the policy and legal landscape shifting under your organization, industry, or cause?
Laws, regulations, and agency priorities are changing quickly at the state and federal level. We help you see what’s coming and respond on your terms.
- Legislative Monitoring and Analysis
- Current tracking of the bills, amendments, and agency actions that matter to you, with concise, actionable analysis of what each means. Available year round or by session.
- Legislative Agenda Development
- For organizations with an issue that needs a legislative solution: issue analysis, draft bill language, an impact memo that anticipates committee questions, a concise summary, and a strategy for the path ahead.
- Session Advisory
- Ongoing support while the Legislature is in session: amendment language, testimony preparation, and timely notice of the deadlines and developments that affect you.
- Bill Impact Analysis
- A focused look at a single pending bill: what it does, how it affects you, and the questions worth raising.
- Interim Study Support
- Research, presentations, and testimony preparation for the legislative studies held between sessions.
- Administrative Rules Analysis

- New Laws Briefing
- After each session, a clear summary of what passed and what it requires of your organization, before the new laws take effect.
- Implementation Support
- Practical policies and procedures to put new requirements into practice. Where an engagement calls for legal advice, we coordinate with independent legal counsel.
Funding and grants
- Funding Strategy
- As funding priorities shift and competition for grants intensifies, we help you find the right opportunities, understand your obligations, and position your organization to compete with confidence.
- Funding Readiness Assessment
- Before you invest in an application, a written assessment of the programs that fit your project, the eligibility, staffing, and partnership requirements of each, the gaps to close first, and a sequenced plan with a realistic submission target.
- Application Development Support
- Once a program is selected, hands-on help building the application: project framing, work plan and budget structure, partner coordination, required registrations, and preparation for conversations with program officials.
- Government Contracting Strategy
- A practical guide to how public purchasing works in Oklahoma, and how to position your organization to compete for state contracts.
