Policy · Institutions · Systems · Data

Decisions that hold
under scrutiny.

Stratafield drafts the rules, designs the institutions and builds the systems beneath them, as one piece of work. We serve governments, regulators, development partners and regulated industries, in any jurisdiction.

Record of Stratafield's principals across public, multilateral and private engagements

The Stratafield Stack

Most advice stops at one layer. Failure lives between them.

A data-protection law with no one to enforce it. A national platform without the mandate to share data. An AI strategy that the procurement rules quietly forbid. We work on every layer a decision depends on, together.

Layer 1 of 5

Law & policy

What is permitted, required, and accountable.

  • Primary and subordinate legislation
  • National and sectoral policy
  • Regulatory impact and comparative analysis

Most failures happen between layers. We work across all five in the same engagement.

Practice

Eight practices. One structure.

All practice areas

How we read a problem

Evidence you can sign against.

Every diagnostic scores readiness across the five layers, redlines the instruments clause by clause and measures control coverage against recognised baselines. Then it names the single binding constraint.

Sectors

Where mandates meet machinery.

We work wherever regulation, public trust and technical systems collide.

01

Government & ministries

Mandates that outrun delivery capacity.

02

Regulators

New markets and technologies, old instruments.

03

Telecommunications

Licensing reform, interconnection, market power.

04

Energy & utilities

Supply transparency, network planning, documentation.

05

Justice & public safety

Citizen access to police and case services.

06

Health

Clinical AI, data protection, secure systems.

07

Development partners

Programmes that need technical depth and accountability.

08

Finance & fintech

Compliance workflows, data governance, cyber resilience.

09

Labour & migration

Tracking flows and the pressures behind them.

10

Education & research

Capacity, curricula, open datasets.

11

Culture & heritage

Digitisation and language preservation at community scale.

12

Trade & agriculture

Multilingual B2B platforms and supply data.

Approach

From brief to ownership.

Four phases. Senior people in every one of them.

  1. 01 · Weeks 1–3

    Diagnose

    Senior principals map the problem across all five layers: law, institution, process, system and data. They interview stakeholders, review documents and test systems. The output is a decision-ready assessment, not a slide deck.

  2. 02 · Weeks 3–8

    Design

    We draft instruments, architectures and controls in parallel so they fit together. Every obligation has a system that can carry it and every system has the mandate it needs. Specialists from the network join where the problem demands them.

  3. 03 · Month 2 onward

    Build & implement

    We build, or we oversee the people who build. That covers software, data pipelines, regulations, SOPs and training, delivered against a sequenced plan with visible milestones and security review before launch.

  4. 04 · Ongoing

    Transfer & review

    Documentation, runbooks and trained owners. We finish with a structured handover and scheduled reviews, so the client ends up owning a capability rather than depending on a consultant.

The bench

A senior core. A deep bench.

Stratafield is deliberately small at the centre. For each mandate we bring in vetted specialists from a network built over years of public programmes, research collaborations and non-profit initiatives. You get the team the problem needs, and no more than that.

Legislative drafters & constitutional lawyers
Telecom & RAN architects
Security engineers & penetration testers
ML researchers & data scientists
Economists & public-finance analysts
GIS & utility network engineers
Anthropologists & field researchers
Linguists & annotation leads
Full-stack & mobile engineers
Programme, M&E & grants specialists
