Independent perspective for complex policy and systems problems.
Services offered
Regulatory System Design
Designing systems that work in practice. We help design regulatory frameworks that are realistic, enforceable, and aligned with institutional capacity. This includes mapping regulatory actors, selecting appropriate instruments, and identifying where compliance will succeed or fail in practice. We believe in ensuring systems function under real-world constraints – not idealised models.
Law Reform & Governance
Clear pathways for law and institutional reform. We support law reform processes from diagnosis through to implementation. This includes legislative review, drafting support, and analysis of institutional arrangements to ensure independence, accountability, and coherence. We provide advice grounded in comparative experience that is adapted to local legal, political and social contexts.
Research & Evaluation
Evidence you can act on. We design and deliver targeted research and evaluation that moves beyond description to decision. This includes policy analysis, programme evaluation, and stakeholder insight, with outputs structured to inform clear, defensible choices.
Strategy & Advisory
Independent perspective for complex decisions. We provide structured, independent advice on complex policy and institutional questions. Engagements are grounded in rigorous analysis and focused on clarifying options, assessing risk, and supporting robust, defensible decision-making.
Education & AI
Practical integration of AI in education and professional contexts. We work with institutions to integrate AI tools into teaching, research, and professional workflows in a way that is effective and responsible. This includes strategy development, curriculum alignment, and guidance on governance, integrity, and capability building.
About us
Treetops Solutions is an independent consultancy working at the intersection of research, regulation, and institutional design. We specialise in complex policy and systems problems – where legal frameworks, regulatory practice, and real-world constraints intersect.
Our work focuses on bringing clarity to complexity. That means stepping back from individual issues to understand how systems function as a whole. In many systems, problems are not isolated – they are embedded in structures, incentives, and practices that can be difficult to see from within. We work to provide that external viewpoint, helping clients step back, clarify the problem, and identify responses that are both realistic and effective.
We work with governments, institutions, and organisations to design workable solutions, grounded in evidence and adapted to context. Engagements are analytical, focused, and directed towards outcomes that can be implemented in practice.
