Consultancy

Advisory support for early-action systems

For humanitarian organisations, funders, and research teams designing, evaluating, or scaling impact-based forecasting and anticipatory-action programmes.

IBF system & trigger design

Multi-hazard threshold frameworks, ensemble forecast integration, and trigger mechanisms aligned to WMO risk-matrix practice — designed to hold up operationally, not just on paper.

Cascading & sector-impact modelling

Mapping how hydro-meteorological hazards cascade into sector-specific impacts, to inform early-action plans that go beyond a single hazard type.

Disaster risk financing & climate finance positioning

Support connecting anticipatory action to financing mechanisms — including guidance on accreditation pathways and how AA fits the broader climate finance delivery gap.

Seasonal & hazard-specific advisories

Restructuring forecast information into decision-ready advisories for policy, funder, and field-actor audiences — with named hotspots and embedded probabilities rather than generic warnings.

Technical review & gap analysis

Structured review of vulnerability assessments, inception reports, and evaluation frameworks against RFP requirements or sector best practice.

Stakeholder & power-interest mapping

Facilitation-ready stakeholder mapping for multi-actor initiatives, informing engagement strategy for programme rollout or hackathon-style innovation processes.

How engagements typically work

A short, direct process

1. Scope

A short call or written brief to understand the hazard context, data available, and decision the system needs to support.

2. Design

A technical proposal — framework, thresholds, or review structure — shared before any build work starts.

3. Deliver

Working system, framework, or report, with documentation clear enough for your own team to maintain it.
