GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS & EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

Government Affairs Is a Contact Sport.

Michael-Christopher Warren works at the level where government affairs, external relations, coalition building, and stakeholder influence converge — and where practitioners who understand the actual machinery of power hold decisive advantage.

Strategic perspective

“Navigating the intersection of policy and performance requires more than data — it requires fluency in how power actually moves.”

M.C. Warren
The Practitioner

Most Government Affairs Strategy Is Built on Secondhand Information.

Briefings. Trade press summaries. Consultant recaps. Most organizations navigate their most consequential government relationships using information that has already been filtered, simplified, and stripped of the structural context that actually determines outcomes.

Michael-Christopher Warren built his career — and RegulatorIndex — on the opposite premise. Practitioners who engage directly with primary sources, who understand the real mechanics of legislative process, regulatory dynamics, and stakeholder influence, hold decisive advantage over everyone else in the room.

That premise was forged in government and external affairs at Pepco/Exelon. It applies equally to a technology company navigating a congressional hearing, a healthcare system managing state legislative relationships, or a financial institution operating in a shifting policy environment.

BUILT FOR THE FIELD

The Intelligence Infrastructure.
Built from the inside.

Most government affairs practitioners use the tools they’re given. When the tools didn’t exist, Michael-Christopher Warren built them — and made them available to the field.

RELATIONSHIP INTELLIGENCE

StatecraftCRM

Built after years of managing high-stakes stakeholder relationships in Salesforce and spreadsheets — tools that were never designed for government affairs. When a key staffer leaves, the relationships leave with them. StatecraftCRM was built to fix that.

The relationship intelligence platform for in-house government affairs teams. Stakeholder CRM, heatmaps, AI briefing generation, interaction logging, and issue tracking — purpose-built for how this work actually gets done.

REGULATORY INTELLIGENCE

RegulatorIndex

Built from a practitioner’s frustration with fragmented, inconsistent, and often inaccessible Public Utility Commission data across 50 states. What began as a personal research tool became the infrastructure the field had been missing.

Every U.S. Public Utility Commission. Every state. Organized and indexed for government affairs professionals, regulatory attorneys, energy consultants, and infrastructure investors who make high-stakes decisions and can’t afford to work from incomplete information.
