Strature Advisory · Exposure assessments

What can reach a company, where it actually operates.

An exposure assessment measures a company’s exposure to regulation, and to geopolitical, geoeconomic and geotechnology events, weighted by where it earns its revenue.

What it answers

Three questions a board asks about the world outside.

01Reach

What can reach us?

The regulations, bills, trade measures, sanctions and policies found in the sources read for each place a company operates, with every place not read printed as a gap.

02Weight

Where does it bite?

Each item is placed where the company operates and weighed by the share of revenue earned there, so a rule at home counts for more than one abroad.

03Time

What is dated?

Items are sorted by their dates into Act, Prepare and Watch, and each carries an action to consider and the function it falls to.

The scope of an assessment

Regulation has been run on one company. The rest of the scope is agreed with you.

Run on one company · the RBC edition

Regulatory exposure, read from official sources.

Read in the RBC edition of 28 Sep 2026: regulation and standards; legislation in motion; sanctions; capital and payments; ownership and screening. It read 34,333 rows from 15 official sources and assessed 41 items in writing. The case, end to end.

In an assessment’s scope, with no item in that edition: trade measures, customs notices and export controls; labour, tax, data and AI rules; opportunities (incentives, programmes, procurement).

Open · the events layer

Exposure to geopolitical, geoeconomic and geotechnology events: conflict, sanctions escalation, supply-chain shocks and export-control races, set against the same footprint and the same revenue weights.

It is part of an assessment’s scope, agreed with the client at the start of an engagement. No published edition includes it yet, and none is shown on this site.

The reading

Canada alone carries more than half of the edition’s items, ten of them in the Act status across the two countries. The United Kingdom was read and gave none. Ten countries where RBC operates were not read in full: they are drawn as an open slot, not as zero exposure.

SourceStrature Exposure, RBC edition of 28 Sep 2026: items by place and status; the places table. Not read: eight countries with no source connected yet, and two read at EU level only; each is named on the RBC case. How to read this plateThe accent marks the Act status: a date passed, due within 30 days, or major or severe impact due within 180 days. The open slot counts places, not items. RBC is the subject of the analysis, not a client. Strature
The deliverables

A dashboard, a brief in three lengths, and a deck.

All come from the same edition, so a figure on the front page is the same figure in the record behind it.

What each one holds
The interactive dashboard
Every item, filterable by place, status and domain, with its official text one click away. Coverage is declared on the dashboard itself: what was read, what was set aside and why, what is not yet judged, and which places have no source connected yet.
The brief, in three lengths
Each item is written at three altitudes, headline, briefing and record: a front page for the executive, a fuller read for the team, and the full record for the file.
The deck
The edition’s front page and figures as slides, for a board, committee or leadership session.
The edition
The picture is re-issued as an edition. Each edition prints its own funnel, from rows read to the front page, and the counts of what was set aside, unjudged or unreadable. A correction is printed, not overwritten.
The free pilot

Run it on your company, free, for six to twelve months.

What you give, what you get
The company name. We build the first edition from public sources and the company’s own disclosures, then keep it current. There is nothing to install and no client material is needed to start. The first edition, then kept current: the dashboard, the brief in three lengths and the deck, built to the same rules as every edition. You see every source and every reason something was set aside.
What it costs
Nothing, for six to twelve months. Strature Advisory engagements beyond the pilot are agreed separately, under an engagement letter.
What stays yours
Material you later choose to share is kept per client, never pooled, and never used to improve anything shared. None is accepted before the firm’s data-handling documents are in place for your company.
