Most work at Cernavia Studio begins with a specific decision or governance moment, and a short exchange to see whether there is a good fit.
You can begin with a commission enquiry, a Proof Pack request, or a lighter-touch connection on LinkedIn.
Three ways to begin
Choose the route that best matches where you are.
Best next step
Commission enquiry
The right route if you already have a programme, portfolio, or governance decision in view.
Helpful to include
- your role and organisation
- whether the work sits mainly in Evidence & Learning or Judgement & Governance
- a short description of the decision or moment you are approaching
- any relevant timelines, such as board meetings, funding windows, or programme reviews
Before commissioning
Request a Proof Pack
A good option if you want to review de-identified samples first and understand the style and depth of the work.
What it typically includes
- short excerpts from Evidence & Options Briefs and Learning Syntheses
- examples of governance memos and simple visual maps
- a short note on how to read the samples and what they can and cannot tell you
Helpful to include
- your role and team
- the kind of work you are considering
- what you are hoping to assess, for example clarity for boards or handling of uncertainty
Lighter-touch connection
Connect on LinkedIn
If you mainly want to follow the ideas, stay in touch, or connect at a lighter distance, LinkedIn is the best place to do that.
Best for
- following the articles and ongoing thinking
- staying connected before a live commission is in view
- keeping an eye on future fit, themes, and new work
How I respond
What happens next
Cernavia is an independent, focused studio working on a limited number of commissions at a time, usually in an asynchronous, low-meeting rhythm. That is what keeps the work careful and considered.
- I acknowledge your message
- I indicate whether it sits more naturally in Evidence & Learning or Judgement & Governance
- if it looks like a good fit, I suggest a short written scoping exchange and, where useful, a single call
Practical note
If timing matters, include it early
If you are working toward a board decision, funding renewal, programme review, or other fixed moment, include those dates in your first note. That makes it much easier to judge fit and timing quickly.
