Policy Processes

Accelerating complex public decisions with transparency and structure

The use case

Large-scale policies and public investment programmes cut across departments, agencies, municipalities, and often private or civic actors. Each operates with its own procedures, mandates, and time horizons.

SOLV has the ability to structure institutional complexity to move decisions forward without losing legitimacy, continuity, or accountability.

Why traditional coordination breaks down

Public decision-making suffers from three structural pressures:

  • Fragmentation across departments and agencies

  • Information loss between political, strategic, and operational levels

  • Tension between short-term political horizons and long-term administrative logic

Traditional IT systems register information, but do not actively support the decision process itself. As a result, coordination multiplies while clarity declines.

The governance model

SOLV builds a continuously updated governance model of the policy environment.

Positions, responsibilities, dependencies, and tensions are structured into a single model that spans horizontal (between departments) and vertical (between levels) boundaries. Instead of fragmented briefings, actors work from a shared, structured representation of the process.

This creates a stable reference point for alignment, preparation, and follow-up.

Active process support

SOLV supports the full policy trajectory through an iterative logic:

  • Panoramic listening across formal documents, internal material, and public data

  • Preventive tension detection and stakeholder mapping

  • Multi-criteria scenario exploration

  • Joint fact finding with layered access to information

  • Structured interaction moments focused on core bottlenecks

  • Continuous process monitoring during implementation

AI reads, orders, and connects. Humans interpret, nuance, and decide.

KEY PLATFORM OUTPUTS

What SOLV delivers for this use case:

Evidence-based process guidance

A structured cycle of listening, optimisation, joint fact-finding, connecting, and monitoring, with SOLV acting as the digital backbone that captures evidence, structures input, and supports iterative movement toward agreement.

Position and tension monitoring

Continuous view of evolving positions across departments and political–administrative layers.

Multi-level information access

Strategic views for leaders, process views for administrators, and detailed views for experts.

Structured decision preparation

Meetings and briefings generated around evidence, bottlenecks, and trade-offs rather than from scratch
