Ask Strature

Ask us a question about geopolitics and business. Each month we answer the most asked questions in public, without names.

Ask about a country, a trade route, a sanction, a tariff, a supply of goods, or one of our forecasts. We read every question. We do not answer each one in person. Each month the Principal approves short answers to the three to five most asked questions, and we publish them on the monthly questions page. Questions that ask the same thing are counted together.

How it works

  1. You send a question. It is stored with your account. Only the Principal can read it.
  2. At the end of each month we group questions that ask the same thing and count each group.
  3. We draft a short answer to the three to five largest groups, each answer citing its sources.
  4. The Principal approves every answer before it is published.
  5. The answers appear on the monthly page in the first 10 days of the next month. The question is reworded, and no name, organisation or detail that could identify anyone is published.
  6. A good question may also become one of our registered forecast questions. It is then scored in public like every other forecast, with the note “Question suggested by a reader”.
  7. If you ticked the Advisory box, the Principal may write to you once. Otherwise no one contacts you.
