Istari · Strategy and Insights Modelling
Public-sector decisions,
made with the data.
We’re a studio that turns the data the public sector already collects — administrative records, operational feeds, regulatory filings — into forecasts, models and dashboards for ministries, agencies and regulators in Canada and Germany. Clean energy, public safety, defence, transport, taxation. Decision-ready intelligence in plain language.
