Navigating the Uncertainty Business: How to Build a Career in Political Risk

Navigating the Uncertainty Business is a concise, practitioner-grade guide for building a career in political risk analysis. It focuses on how decisions are actually made inside companies — not academic theory, not punditry.

This manual shows you:

• What political risk really is (and isn’t) in business
• Who hires analysts, where the budget lives, and why
• The skills that actually matter — analysis, writing, data literacy
• How to build credibility without permission
• How to turn public work into a portfolio that gets you hired or paid

It’s designed to be read in one sitting and used repeatedly.
