Talk to us before the decision becomes commitment.
If you’re working through a complex decision, public-facing change, operational problem, stakeholder risk or AI-enabled transformation, Pūtake Labs can help you test the evidence, assumptions and consequences before momentum hardens.
Start with the decision, not the service.
The first step is a private discussion about what is being decided, what is uncertain, who is affected and what kind of assurance would be useful. Both principals. No cost. No commitment.
Contact details for the decision you need to test.
Use the form, email directly or call to discuss whether the fit is right. Pūtake Labs is a 50/50 Māori-Pākehā partnership. Both principals are involved from the first conversation.
Working across New Zealand and Australia through remote, hybrid and project-based engagements.
Enquiries outside these hours can be sent by form or email.
Useful context for the first conversation.
You don’t need a perfectly prepared brief. A clear description of the decision and the uncertainty around it is enough to begin.
Describe the recommendation, change, investment, programme or problem you are working through.
Identify the uncertainty, public consequence, stakeholder pressure, operational risk or adoption challenge.
Share any approval date, board meeting, procurement timeline, launch date or public commitment point.
Business case, strategy paper, process map, stakeholder material, reporting, data, meeting notes or risk documents.
Not sure what you need?
Start with the issue, not the method. Pūtake Labs will help identify the right combination of analysis for your decision — whichever angles it needs to be tested from.
Decision visibility runs through every engagement, surfacing where power sits, who is affected and what cultural conditions shape the outcome. Where Māori interests are in scope, the kaupapa Māori analysis is built into the method from the start.
Not sure if it’s a fit? That’s exactly what the first conversation is for. Send a short note and we’ll take it from there.
Pūtake Labs works alongside the wider Changeable ecosystem.
A 50/50 Māori-Pākehā partnership focused on decision intelligence, assurance and simulation before commitment. Both principals are involved from the first conversation, with tasks divided by best fit and value.
When a decision needs to move into delivery, Changeable supports AI implementation, process improvement, automation and practical delivery.
For individual capability building, Zero to AI supports practical AI learning. The Pūtake Labs Responsible AI Policy and Privacy Policy govern all engagement.
