Strature advises organisations on geo-strategy and geo-business strategy, and measures their exposure to regulation, sanctions and policy where they actually operate.
Both routes together stay short of even odds: the brief’s view is that a C$1bn-plus stake by the date is less likely than not.
A narrated film with captions. Nothing plays until you press play.
The world order is changing. Regulation, sanctions, trade measures, technology rules: each one reaches a company somewhere it operates.
Strature is a consulting and forecasting firm in Toronto. It works on the things that matter in the changing world order: geopolitical, geoeconomic, and geotechnology.
For an organisation, that means three questions. What can reach us? Where does it bite? What is dated? An exposure assessment answers them, weighted by where the company earns its revenue.
Strature Advisory works with one organisation at a time: geo-strategy, where to be and where not to be; geo-business strategy, what the picture means for one business; forecasts and scenarios; and briefings for a board.
Strature Briefs is a published series. Each brief asks one question that can be settled, and answers it with a registered probability. Every probability is our estimate, scored when it resolves.
Four rules hold the work. Nothing is invented. A retrieval asserts its own completeness. A scan of nothing is not a clean scan. And a conflict is printed, not resolved.

74–196 million barrels could leave Saudi Arabia in six weeks with the shuttle running, but none bought on 25 September was on file to land that soon.
One in practice: revenue, supply and compliance exposure answer to the same dated decisions; their shared hinge, as announced on 24 September, moved to 10 January 2027.
No. The most likely of six registered futures, a Guard-run holding pattern, stands at 13.74%, our estimate, scored when it resolves; about 43% lies outside all six.

The edition assesses 41 changes that can reach RBC: six rules already in force, four comment periods closing within 30 days, and six more dated by 31 Dec 2026.
Restated from the edition’s summary, Strature Exposure, RBC, 28 Sep 2026
The regulations, bills, trade measures, sanctions and policies found for a company where it operates, weighted by where it earns its revenue, with every place not read printed as a gap, each with its official text and the options it opens. Re-issued as an edition.
