Service — Political Risk Consulting

Clarity in environments where uncertainty is the norm

Rigorous, intelligence-informed political risk analysis to help organizations anticipate instability, protect operations, and capitalize on strategic openings across complex markets.

The Challenge

Political risk is often mispriced—until it isn't

Businesses, NGOs, and government contractors operating in politically volatile environments face risks that standard market analysis routinely underestimates. The consequences of that gap—stranded assets, program failures, reputational damage—are rarely recoverable.

C & G Solutions fills that gap with sustained, region-specific intelligence built on years of direct engagement with the political economies we cover—not generic country reports assembled from the same wires our clients already read.

  • Government stability and succession risk modeling
  • Regulatory and expropriation risk analysis
  • Civil unrest and protest movement tracking
  • Key actor mapping and influence network analysis
  • Sector-specific risk overlays (energy, finance, logistics)

Our Services

Three ways we work with clients

Every engagement is scoped to your decision timeline, budget, and level of ongoing exposure. We offer three core service structures.

Service 01

Country & Market Risk Assessments

Structured, scenario-driven assessments of political, regulatory, and security conditions in target countries. We evaluate government stability, elite dynamics, civil-military relations, and the trajectory of key policy risks for your sector.

Deliverables are calibrated to decision-maker needs—executive summaries for leadership, deep-dive appendices for operational teams.

  • Scenario planning with probability-weighted outcomes
  • Security environment assessment
  • Regulatory navigation and approval pathway mapping

Deliverables include

  • Executive risk summary (2–4 pages)
  • Full analytical report (15–30 pages)
  • Scenario matrix with probability weights
  • Key actor profiles and relationship maps
  • Sector-specific risk register
  • 30/60/90-day risk outlook

Service 02

Strategic Intelligence Briefings

Ongoing retainer-based intelligence support for clients with continuous exposure to political risk. We monitor the environment, flag emerging threats, and provide timely written and verbal briefings as conditions evolve.

Our principals draw on open-source intelligence, academic networks, and regional expertise to give clients an analytical edge that in-house teams rarely possess.

  • Weekly or bi-weekly written intelligence summaries
  • Real-time alerts on high-impact developments
  • Legislative and regulatory change monitoring

Due Diligence & Entry Strategy

For organizations considering entry into a new market, we provide the political and regulatory due diligence necessary to structure an informed go/no-go decision. We map the local political landscape, identify key relationship nodes, and surface hidden risks before capital is committed.

  • Partner and counterpart vetting
  • Government relations strategy development
  • Reputational risk screening
  • Exit scenario planning

What due diligence covers

  • Political due diligence for market entry
  • Beneficial ownership and PEP screening
  • Regulatory approval pathway analysis
  • Civil society and media sentiment mapping
  • Sanctions and compliance exposure review
  • Recommended risk mitigation measures

Regional Coverage

Deep expertise across the Western Hemisphere

Our work is grounded in sustained regional focus. We are not generalists who parachute into unfamiliar territory—we maintain active coverage of the political environments we advise on.

Our primary coverage spans Central America, the Andean region, the Southern Cone, and the Caribbean Basin, with particular depth in the Panama Canal corridor.

"Political risk analysis without regional depth is just noise dressed up as intelligence. Our assessments are grounded in years of sustained engagement with the political economies we cover—not synthesized from the same wire services our clients already read."
