Strategic Insight for When Stakes Are High.
From rapid briefings to strategic communications - actionable intelligence for decision-makers who need to move fast.
Shani Raine - Strategic Advisor
I work with mission-driven organizations, policymakers, and values-aligned leaders to bring clarity and strategy to complex challenges. My focus is on translating national security, democracy resilience, and subnational engagement into practical tools — whether through tailored insight briefings, strategic communications, workshops, or scenario simulations. At the core of my work is a commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue and equipping decision-makers to act with confidence in uncertain times.
Insight Briefings
Concise, actionable analysis designed for decision-makers who need clarity without the weight of a 40-page report. Options include rapid-turnaround briefs (2–3 pages, delivered within 24–72 hours of a major development) and deep-dive briefs (5–7 pages that explore a single issue or trend in depth, including key drivers, risks, and scenario outlooks).
Strategic Comms Planning
Written communications plans, messaging toolkits, and a la carte services designed for values-aligned political candidates, democracy organizations, and policy or advocacy groups. Each package is tailored to sharpen voice, strengthen strategy, and ensure messages resonate with the audiences that matter most.
Workshops and Trainings
Interactive sessions designed to equip teams and leaders with practical tools on messaging, democracy resilience, subnational engagement, and national security. Available in-person or online, these workshops emphasize dialogue, real-world application, and immediate takeaways.
Scenario Simulations
Strategic modeling exercises that test how different scenarios might unfold for your organization or issue. I run customized simulations to analyze potential outcomes, identify risks and opportunities, and deliver actionable recommendations through detailed reports and briefings.
Advisory Services
Tailored guidance for leaders and organizations navigating complex policy, democracy, and security challenges. Available as focused one-on-one sessions for immediate clarity, or as ongoing retainer support to provide strategic partnership over time.
Research and Subscription Briefings
Structured research and ongoing insight tailored to your needs. This offering combines narrative and trend mapping with regular subscription briefings, ensuring leaders and organizations stay ahead of shifting dynamics. Available as bi-weekly, monthly, or bespoke deliverables, with optional debrief sessions to translate analysis into action.
