Examples of possible mandates

• A board seeks an independent assessment of financial projections, forecasts or modelling results.

• A team of specialists has produced extensive datasets, analyses or modelling results and is looking for a clear and accessible way to communicate them to decision-makers without specialist expertise.

• A public institution or company possesses large amounts of data but struggles to extract decision-relevant insights.

• Several studies reach different conclusions, making synthesis and an assessment of risks, assumptions and uncertainties necessary.

• A reform, restructuring or investment project requires an independent economic or financial assessment.

• Complex data, indicators or projections are about to be published, but their presentation does not yet fully meet the desired standards of clarity and accessibility.

• An indicator system, data collection concept or reporting framework is being developed, adapted or should independently be reviewed as part of ongoing activities or a new project.

Areas of Expertise

• Projections and Planning: Design, interpretation and practical use of short- and long-term projections.

• Statistical and Information Systems: Extracting, interpreting and using decision-relevant information from statistical and administrative data systems.

• Governance and Institutional Challenges: Supporting boards, executive teams and public institutions facing economic and financial decisions, particularly when they rely on complex analyses, datasets or projections.

The examples above are not exhaustive. Subject-matter expertise remains essential. In complex situations, however, the ability to bring together data, analyses and different perspectives to build a shared understanding and a sound basis for decision-making is equally important.
