Overview
The burden of proof has shifted.
Welcome to the Essentrify Academy. As the National Opioid Settlements enter a critical multi-decade lifecycle, the burden of proof has shifted from "reporting on the past" to "proving the abatement."
The Abatement Information Masterclass is a strategic briefing series designed for County Commissioners, Attorneys General, and Public Health Leads. This curriculum provides the foundational knowledge required to move beyond patchwork spreadsheets and establish a modern, forensic "Flight Deck" for settlement governance.
Curriculum
Six Strategic Modules
Six modules covering the full abatement lifecycle.
