Frameworks & Tools

The instruments behind the advice.

Landmark’s practice rests on published frameworks rather than proprietary opinion. Each is set out in full below — the research architecture, the compliance structuring model, and the live register that applies both. Read them, test them, disagree with them.

Three layers

Research, structure, application.

The three are sequential. Preventive Treaty Architecture asks what an instrument would have had to say for a dispute not to have arisen. ATLAS converts that answer into evidence a board can sign. OGEMEX Intel applies both to a live register of obligations across eleven sectors and fourteen producer jurisdictions.

Why they are published

A method you cannot inspect is not a method.

Compliance intelligence is routinely sold as a proprietary number behind an enterprise contract. A general counsel asked to rely on it cannot see how it was derived, cannot test a component they disagree with, and cannot defend it to a regulator or a financier who asks the obvious question.

Landmark publishes the architecture instead. The OGEMEX risk score is re-computable from six disclosed factors. Every obligation carries the instrument, the provision relied on, the accountable function, the evidence required and a confidence marker stating what has been verified and what has not.

Where the exposure sits

Between the licence and the market.

A producer operates under two distinct bodies of law. Producer-country obligations determine whether it may operate at all. Destination-market obligations determine whether what it produced may be sold. They are drafted in isolation, enforced in isolation and almost always monitored in isolation.

The exposure therefore sits precisely where nobody is looking — in the space between a licence to produce and a permission to sell. These frameworks exist to govern that seam.

Applying a framework to your own exposure.

A confidential briefing turns a published framework into a plan for your specific licence portfolio, disclosure perimeter or decommissioning liability.
