Administrative and policy tracking for organizations that need to get it right.
We help nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and small agencies build the operational scaffolding their missions deserve — policy tracking, documented SOPs, audit-ready documentation, and the kind of plain-language research that makes board meetings shorter.
02 Engagements
Five ways we work.
Most engagements blend two of these. A monitoring retainer becomes a memo. A memo becomes an SOP. An SOP becomes the spine of an audit binder. We design for that flow. Every engagement is scoped and quoted to your organization's size and needs.
Stop running your organization out of a binder. We document what your team already does well, repair the gaps quietly, and give you the command center your administrators actually work from — a configurable admin portal built on a proven foundation and set up section-by-section for your size and budget. Branded, hosted, with training and a handover, so you own a system specific to you instead of rebuilding from scratch.
SOP development for programmatic and back-office work
Eyes on the legislation, rulemaking, and budget decisions that affect your work — so your team is never surprised by a comment period it missed in March. We watch your state capitol, the administrative code governing licensed agencies and regulated providers, federal agency rulemaking, and the funders that direct the work, then translate the noise into a short list of what changed and what to do about it.
Bill-level legislative tracking, sessions and interim
State administrative rulemaking watch with comment-period alerts
Monthly written briefings with prioritized action items
Grant and contract compliance tracking
Mock surveys and readiness audits to test your preparedness before a real survey
Committee hearing summaries and budget-committee annotations
Month-to-month retainer — no larger engagement required
A survey-ready policy and procedure manual for licensed agencies and regulated providers — mapped to the exact administrative rules that govern your work, written in plain language, and built so an audit feels like a conversation rather than a crisis. Pair it with our Policy Tracking service and we keep the manual current as the rules change.

Already have a manual? Manual Proof-Test or full Mock Survey & Records Audit available
Registered lobbying and advocacy representation in any state capitol and before the U.S. Congress under the Lobbying Disclosure Act. We translate your mission into the language of committee rooms — building relationships with legislators and staff, drafting position papers, and showing up consistently across the session, the interim, and the federal cycle. State-specific engagements, multi-state coalitions, and federal LD-1/LD-2 representation all available.
Most clients engage us for lobbying alongside monitoring or research — the work compounds when the same person who tracked the bill is the one carrying it.
Custom policy research and short briefing memos written to be read by busy executive directors and board chairs. We tell you what we found, what we don't know yet, and what we'd recommend reading next — the facts you need before you make a decision or make your case.
Issue briefs and white papers
Stakeholder and decision-maker mapping
Comparative-state policy reviews
Data analysis and plain-language findings
Honest funding and grant-fit research — eligibility match + sourced shortlist; we do not write grant applications
No discovery deck no one reads. No deliverable that needs a separate manual. A short, deliberate engagement that leaves behind documents and systems your team can actually run without us.
01.
Discover
Two weeks of listening. We read your bylaws, sit in on a staff meeting, and look at the spreadsheet someone is still emailing around. Then we tell you what we heard before we propose anything.
02.
Build
Short cycles, written deliverables. Drafts circulate before they’re final. We work in your stack where we can, and recommend the smallest possible tooling change where we can’t.
03.
Sustain
A handover that includes a real training session and a 60-day check-in. Optional ongoing monitoring or quarterly office hours if the work keeps moving.
04 Clients
Who we work with.
Small enough that our work is felt. Mission-driven enough that the work matters.
Nonprofits
Government agencies
Advocacy organizations
Public-sector consultancies
Coalitions and intermediaries
Foundations & funders
