Your consultants manage multiple client portfolios, each with different regulatory exposure. Policy Compass lets you research any client's regulatory questions with answers grounded in Ofgem, DESNZ, Elexon, and REC - contextualised to each client's specific situation.
The challenge
Your team advises across suppliers, networks, generators, flexibility providers, and the rest - each with different licence conditions, code obligations, and regulatory exposure. Staying across Ofgem, DESNZ, Elexon, and the other regulators and codes across UK energy for every client caps how many portfolios your team can manage - and the research grunt work leaves less time for the strategic advisory your clients actually pay for.
Same regulation, different implications
An Ofgem consultation affects a domestic supplier differently to an industrial one. Your team has to interpret every development through the lens of each client's specific business.
Monitoring multiplied by client count
Ofgem, DESNZ, Elexon, REC, DCUSA, BSC - monitoring these once is manageable. Doing it for eight clients with different exposures is not.
Client context lives in people's heads
When a senior consultant is unavailable, their client knowledge goes with them. There's no persistent system that remembers each client's regulatory landscape.
First-mover advantage matters
The consultancy that alerts a client to a relevant regulatory change first wins trust. Finding out after your competitor already briefed the client is a missed opportunity.
How it helps
Ask the same question as adviser to a network operator, a challenger supplier, or an independent aggregator - perspective templates reframe the analysis around each client's exposure without rebuilding context. Dedicated per-client profiles are on the roadmap; today, perspectives plus the context in your question do the work.
Ask for the output your client actually buys: a branded Word briefing, a comparison spreadsheet, a decision-tree diagram you can edit, or a cited PDF. One consultant turned a lunchtime government announcement into a board-ready client briefing the same evening. Another built a price-control funding decision tree, then had a colleague revalidate it cell by cell when the final guidance landed.
When a new consultation or code modification lands, Radar flags it the same day. Work out which clients it touches and brief them before they've seen it themselves - the consultancy that gets there first wins the trust.
Tuned to your role
Large regulatory teams split the market between them - one person on the capacity market, another on the BSC, another on the REC codes. Set your role and the work you actually do, and Policy Compass re-scores every signal and reframes its commentary around you.
The same code modification can be a 9/10 for one colleague and a 3/10 for another. Everyone gets their own feed - regulatory intelligence that knows not just your company, but your role.
In practice
"How does the latest Ofgem price cap methodology change affect our domestic supply client's standing charge calculation?"
"Which of our network operator clients are affected by the latest DCUSA charging change proposals?"
"Summarise our SME supplier client's obligations and upcoming deadlines for the Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement migration"
"Summarise this consultation and set out the areas of concern for a GDN client"
"Draft a structured briefing on the latest RIIO-ED3 methodology consultation for our DNO client"
Frame your question around a specific client's context and Policy Compass tailors the answer accordingly - same regulation, different interpretation per client.
The difference
Policy Compass handles the research and monitoring grunt work - the reading, cross-referencing, and deadline tracking that fills your team's days. That capacity goes back to what clients actually pay for: interpretation, strategy, and actionable recommendations. Serve more clients with the same team, go deeper on strategic advisory, and win fixed-price work more profitably. Consultancies weighing that against an existing research spend can see what else is on the table besides an analyst subscription.
