No one can be ready for every policy window.
So we built a
'collective bottom drawer'

Consistent one-page structure
All briefs follow the same Problem → Context → Advice → Precedent format for quick reading.
Support snapshot
Lists the number of endorsers and who they are, like an open letter, open for groups to join.
Actionable legislative recommendation
A clear, specific change that decision-makers can implement.
Identifies responsible decision-maker
Names the exact Minister, department, or authority with the power to act.
Backed by experts.
Built for policymakers.
Built for public servants, staffers, and MPs who need credible ideas fast. Our drawer helps you gather, scan, and shortlist ready-to-brief one-page policy solutions to make the most of every policy window.
When should I use FORE's Bottom Drawer?
Briefs. Cabinet Submissions. Speeches and more!
FORE’s Bottom Drawer is for when you want to quickly scan what the sector is advocating for (using our jurisdiction filters and topic tags). It’s for when you’re preparing a brief and need reliable language for your background context. It’s for when you’re preparing a Cabinet submission and want to show how much support an idea already has (with our clear Support Snapshot - the circle in the top right corner).

What do we do?
*In the simplest terms
IDENTIFY an expert- proposed solution
Drawn from academia, frontline advocacy, or community-led initiatives. We look for ideas that are evidence-based, actionable, and non-partisan.
DRAFT a one-page policy brief
Using our consistent Problem → Context → Advice → Precedent format. This makes it easy to scan, compare, and act on without wading through lengthy reports.
PUBLISH in our online Policy Library
Where policymakers, staffers, and advocates can search by topic or jurisdiction, check how much support it has, and access the full brief with references and context.
TRACK support (Support Snapshot)
Each brief includes a Support Snapshot, showing which experts & organisations have already endorsed the idea. This works like an open letter groups can sign on to.
