Working Paper is where outstanding product management intersects with public policy expertise. Founded by technology executives who've led high-impact initiatives at Meta, Mozilla, leading research universities, and cutting-edge biotech and AI start-ups, we bring a rare combination of tech product expertise and policy acumen to your most complex business challenges.
Before anyone can say whether an evaluation result survives fine-tuning, we need to know how much of that result is noise. Two research projects that would move the composability question forward.
Working Paper recognized the policy implications of a product launch early, and then to moved on both the build and the broader norm at the same time. We ended up setting international standards.
In the modern information ecosystem, creating the right environment for product delivery can be as critically important as creating the right product. In an environment where a single product decision can trigger regulatory scrutiny and public outcry across continents, you need experts who are just as adept at building innovative products as they are at assembling coalitions of stakeholders across industry, civil society, and regulatory bodies.
Our principals have:
Product-First, Policy-Fluent: We approach every challenge through the lens of shipping great products. Whether you're implementing novel AI agents, embracing privacy-enhancing technologies to modernize your data lake, or navigating challenging multi-stakeholder environments, we bring the rigor of product management to policy problems and the sophistication of policy thinking to product challenges.
Tested at Scale: From Meta's election integrity initiatives to the very first implementations of next-generation privacy technologies, we've operated at the highest stakes under intense scrutiny. We know what works in theory, and more importantly, how to test which theories survive contact with reality.
Bridge Builders by Design: With deep relationships across technology companies, civil society, academia, standards bodies, and regulatory agencies, we don't just navigate ecosystems, we help build and shape them. Just as the intersection between product and policy is core to our business, partnerships and coalitions help us address your core business challenges.
Focused on impact: We don't just understand the technical specifications of emerging AI standards, we've helped build and shape them. We don't just interpret regulatory requirements, we've implemented governance frameworks at scale that are quoted in and shape legislation.
