Sandpiper rolls out AI-driven policy intelligence tool

Sandpiper has launched an AI-powered policy intelligence solution, Sandpiper Vantage.

The launch follows the consultancy’s ‘Turbulent Times’ research published in late 2025, which found that 62 per cent of global Executives expect revenues to be negatively impacted in 2026 due to geopolitical factors. The firm added that this trend has since been amplified by the evolving conflict in the Middle East.

According to the agency, Sandpiper Vantage aims to enable organisations to monitor policy, regulatory, and market developments across jurisdictions, languages, and stakeholder networks. It is designed to help teams identify emerging issues early, track shifts in policy and stakeholder sentiment, and access structured analysis to support engagement with policymakers and stakeholders.

Kelly Johnston, COO of Sandpiper, said, “In an era of rapid geopolitical realignment, organisations can no longer afford to be reactive and speed matters. With Sandpiper Vantage we have developed a transformational product using AI to disrupt the traditional market for policy analysis and advice. Sandpiper Vantage enables organizations to navigate complex policy and regulatory environments locally and globally. Its customisable intelligence engine is designed to give leadership and their teams the foresight they need to influence policy in real time to protect their reputation and operations.”
