Four lines of work and one open standard, all on one method. Analysis and adversary dossiers on request, cognitive warfare defense, intelligence program builds, the frameworks that run all three, and the protocol that proves an effect.
Rapid RFIs answered with sources, assumptions, and a stated confidence. Adversary dossiers that connect intent, capability, tradecraft, and targeting in one picture. Overwatch for standing warning between reports.

See cognitive defenseAn intelligence function built to the Cyber Intelligence Capability Maturity Model: requirements, collection, analysis, reporting, and the workflows leadership reads. A fractional intelligence officer and platform selection when the team needs them.
See program buildSTEMPLES Plus for adversary environment analysis. The Elicitation Protocol for interviews. The Adaptive Cyber Intelligence Lifecycle for the production cycle. Published, taught, and used on every engagement.
See the frameworksAn open protocol for proving a counter-disinformation campaign changed what people believed or did: pre-registered baselines, comparison designs, pre/post instruments, behavioral indicators, and a Sherman Kent band on every effect claim. Free to apply, free to write into a contract. Draft for comment November 2, 2026.
See the open standardA 14-day corporate counterintelligence audit. Synthetic recruiters, job postings that leak the stack, foreign-funded research ties, and contractor access, each verified and hardened. Every department scores 0 to 100 on a risk ledger. $24,500 fixed fee.
See the talent auditA five-day counter-OSINT and elicitation audit of a principal, run with zero network access. You read the targeting file an adversary builds: pattern of life, deepfake training material, and the approach routes through aides and family. $15,000 flat per principal, $45,000 for a cohort of four.
