Crosshairs Communications protects the integrity, defensibility, and credibility
of high-consequence decisions in the critical window before they are finalized or exposed.
Our work is upstream of crisis, downstream of strategy, and independent of advocacy.
We do not influence outcomes or policy substance. We ensure decisions hold once they leave the room.
Our Core Advisory Services
Pre-Decision Risk Advisory
The Moment: When internal deliberation is complete, but before final approval is given.
We conduct a confidential integrity review of the proposed decision itself. We pressure-test its logic, rationale, and internal alignment to ensure it is coherent, defensible, and resilient as a choice. Our work ensures the decision is structurally sound before it is locked in.
This advisory is engaged when leadership needs confidence that the decision is right, not just ready to announce.
Board-Level Decision & Reputation Advisory
The Moment: When boards and fiduciaries oversee decisions with material institutional consequence.
We work directly with Boards, Directors, and CEOs to assess institutional exposure, ensure governance records reflect sound rationale, prepare leadership for scrutiny, and protect long-term trust and legitimacy as core fiduciary assets.
This advisory is engaged when:
- The board is approving a high-impact or legacy decision
- Decisions carry statutory, regulatory, or acute public accountability
- The preservation of institutional legitimacy is paramount
Decision Window Advisory
The Moment: After the decision is finalized, but before it is announced or implemented.
We manage the controlled exposure of the decision. We focus on narrative discipline, sequencing, spokesperson readiness, and spill containment to ensure the decision’s intent survives first contact with stakeholders, media, and the public. Our work protects the decision in the volatile moments when control is relinquished.
This advisory is engaged when leadership needs confidence that the decision will land as intended, without distortion or preventable backlash.
