About
An institution, and what it holds itself to.
Perrin Research is the operating name of Perrin Institution, Inc., a 501(c)(3) think tank based in Florida, USA.
You cannot govern what is not built.
Most policy is written a long way from the thing it regulates. A rule gets drafted, published, and handed to the people who have to live under it. They are the ones who find out what it costs, what it accidentally prohibits, and whether it could have been built in the first place.
We treat that as a problem of legitimacy, not efficiency. If you want to require something of an industry, you should have built the system that has to meet the requirement, and you should publish both so anyone can check the work.
So we build first. Every framework we publish arrives with a working version of the system it describes, and we say plainly what building it changed about the framework.
The Emerald Foundry
Engineering that carries a legislative argument
We build the system, run it, and write the policy from what it shows.
Perrin Giving
Grants to think tanks and technical projects
We fund the work we are not the ones to do.
We publish the framework and the working system together. A framework on its own is the paper everyone already writes, and a build on its own does not tell a legislator anything they can act on.
Kashaf Alvi, former Policy Director at Perrin, was featured in BBC's international coverage, discussing innovative governance approaches and policy solutions.
…your initiative sets a powerful example of how passion and purpose can drive meaningful change…
