Engagement

Policy, measurement, and evidence for practice

I work with governments, international organizations, IP offices, foundations, and private-sector partners to produce decision-ready evidence on innovation and intellectual property—policy reports, feasibility studies, measurement toolkits, impact tracing, and reproducible data/code. For confidential work, I provide non-confidential descriptions and references on request.
