• Services for developing and testing policies and strategies, and related decisions, particularly for their robustness and resilience
• Services for developing Futures capability within the Civil Service (including skills related to the above activities)
• Services for convening or engaging a diverse range of stakeholders (citizen and expert voices) in futures work
• Services, expertise and data gathering and visualisation related to specific fields (including, but not limited to, specific scientific and technological, social and economic fields)
