Policy, Regulatory, & Geopolitical Advisory

A medical device company is preparing to enter a years-long approval process with little visibility into what’s ahead. Fortius maps the federal agency from the inside out—how appointees think, how career staff operate differently, where approvals can stall, and which third-party voices could strengthen the case.

A utility weighing major infrastructure investment is facing a hard question: how will customers and politicians respond to rate increases, even if they are necessary? Fortius polls and models how the public might react and how officials would position themselves, all while monitoring the regulatory efforts already in motion.

A letter of inquiry from Capitol Hill can trigger a corporate crisis: how serious is this, who’s driving it, and what happens next? Fortius knows the landscape behind such inquiries—which staffers are leading the charge, the motives beneath the questions—and guides the company in how to best respond and position itself with lawmakers.

A private equity firm is comfortable making an investment in a foreign company, but could there be political risk, too? Fortius surfaces the political quicksand behind such a move—the target’s flags, the lawmakers and agencies most likely to scrutinize the transaction, and exactly what could draw fire.
