Research & commentary

Publications, briefs and arguments.

Everything published here is open-access under CC BY-SA 4.0, with the underlying models available for download. Where something turns out to be wrong, the correction gets the same prominence as the original claim.

Nothing published yet

The first briefs are being written.

Samata Institute launched in 2026 and there is no published research to list here yet. Rather than fill this page with placeholder entries, it stays empty until there is real work on it.

What is already public is the policy platform — ten positions, each of which becomes a costed brief as it is worked through properly. That is the queue.

If you want to know when the first one lands, the newsletter below is the only announcement channel.

What a brief will contain

A full fiscal note, distributional analysis by income decile, draft statutory language where the policy needs it, and a standing rebuttal annex. The filing standard in full.

Contributions welcome

This does not have to be one person's output. Work meeting the filing standard gets published here under its author's name — get in touch.

The Level

One argument, properly made, with the numbers attached. Sent when there is something worth sending — not on a schedule for its own sake.
