On Statecraft

Reasonable Accommodations

Prepare before you send the request to HR.

Reasonable accommodations can be especially difficult to obtain when your functional limitations are not readily apparent. The process becomes even more complicated when your medical care is fragmented, such as when the provider completing the paperwork is not the provider most familiar with the limitation affecting your work.

We help you prepare before you submit a request to HR by identifying what documentation may be needed, what your medical provider may need to address, how to describe the work-related limitation clearly, and how to organize the request so the relevant information is presented from the outset.

Manager Decision Support

Before you discipline the employee, diagnose the work.

Operational clarity for complicated people problems.

For managers facing difficult performance, scheduling, accommodation, workflow, and employee-relations situations. We help separate what has actually been observed from what has merely been assumed.

Together, we clarify the work requirement, identify practical options, prepare the next conversation, and determine what belongs with the manager, HR, legal, or leadership.

  • Essential Work Requirements

Paperwork & Process Help

The Logistics of Life

I started The Logistics of Life because people are expected to navigate complicated systems on their own, even when the process is unfamiliar, confusing, or unnecessarily intrusive.

Sometimes it is a billing dispute, a workplace accommodation, an appeal, a records problem, a government form, a landlord issue, or a letter from an agency. Sometimes it is simply a form asking for your Social Security number, your spouse’s information, your children’s information, or details you are not even sure apply to you.

Often, the problem is not large enough to justify hiring an attorney, but it is too complicated to solve with a generic template or a customer-service chatbot.

We help you figure out what the form is really asking, whether a question applies to you, what information you actually need to provide, who to call, what to ask, and what to put in writing.

And just as importantly, mistakes happen. Missed a deadline? Filled something out wrong? Sent the wrong document? Forgot to ask the right question? It is fixable. You are still here. We can figure out what comes next.

Letters & Responses

Did a business charge you twice? Do you need something corrected in your records? Did your landlord remove your air conditioner? Are you trying to get property, money, or documents returned and not sure what to say next?

We help you communicate clearly and effectively. We can help draft letters, responses, appeals, complaints, and follow-up correspondence so the problem, the record, and the action you are requesting are easy to understand.
