Everything published, read properly.
Most of what an institution needs to know is already public and nobody has the capacity to read it. We collect across every open modality, fuse it against a persistent entity register, and deliver an assessment rather than a feed.

The capacity problem, not the access problem
Very little of what a government needs is genuinely secret. Corporate registries, court filings, procurement notices, shipping movements, flight data, satellite imagery, academic output, and the entire published press of forty countries are all open. The constraint is that no analytic staff on earth can read it at the rate it is produced.
That gap is where open-source work becomes decisive or becomes a distraction. A feed of ten thousand items a day is not intelligence, it is a second inbox.
We build the layer that reduces it: collection scoped to standing requirements, resolution against a persistent register so the same actor accumulates rather than scatters, and an assessment that says what the material means and how confident we are.
Requirements are set as they are in any intelligence function. Your desks state what they need to know, that drives collection and tasking, and the plan is reviewed as the questions change rather than left running for years.
Modalities we collect
Published media. Wire, national and regional press, broadcast transcripts, and the trade publications where sectoral decisions leak before they are announced.
Social and forum. The major platforms plus the closed-adjacent forums where technical and diaspora communities discuss things earlier and more candidly.
Registries and filings. Corporate ownership, beneficial ownership where disclosed, litigation, procurement, patents, and sanctions listings.
Movement and physical. Commercial maritime and aviation position data, and commercial satellite imagery tasked or archived, for questions that only physical observation answers.
Academic and technical. Publication and citation patterns, which is often the earliest visible signal of a state's capability programme in a given field.
Fusion is where the value is
A shipping movement is a fact. A shipping movement by a vessel whose registered operator changed hands three weeks after a sanctions designation, carrying cargo consistent with a procurement notice filed in a third country, is an assessment.
Fusion depends on entity resolution that actually works: the same company under four transliterations, the same person across two passports of record, the same vessel after a reflagging. Our register holds those identities persistently, which means intelligence accumulates against an actor over years instead of being rediscovered by each analyst who touches the file.
Every finished assessment carries its confidence level, the reasoning behind that level, and the indicators that argue against the conclusion. Analysts who have worked in national systems recognise the format immediately, because it is the one that survives contact with a sceptical principal.
Standing use cases
The parts of this capability a technical evaluator will want to interrogate before a procurement decision.
Strategic warning
Early indicators of instability, mobilisation, or economic stress in states and regions you cannot afford to be surprised by.
Counter-proliferation and procurement
Front company networks, dual-use procurement, and the shipping and financing patterns that carry them.
Policy evidence
Assembled evidence bases for regulatory, trade, and public health decisions, produced to a standard that survives publication.
Due diligence
Counterparty, investor, and vendor assessment for sovereign funds and state operators, including ownership behind the ownership.
Asked in most evaluations
Answers we would give in the room, written down so you can circulate them without a meeting.
Is this the same as your narrative work?
It is the wider function that the narrative work sits inside. Sentiment and disinformation are two collection and analysis problems among many. OSINT covers the rest, and both run on the same collection core and entity register.
Do you provide raw feeds or finished product?
Both, but the finished product is the point. Raw access is available for your own analysts, and it is included in the transfer phase. Buying only the feed usually recreates the capacity problem you were trying to solve.
What about sources that require a licence?
Commercial imagery, maritime, aviation, and registry data are licensed in your name wherever the terms allow it, so the entitlement stays with you if the relationship ends. Where a licence cannot be assigned we say so before it is purchased.
How do you avoid producing another unread feed?
Standing requirements, tasked collection, and a hard discipline about what reaches a desk. If your analysts are not reading the daily product within a month, that is our failure and we redesign it rather than adding a filter.
Adjacent capability
Each capability runs on the same collection and classification core, so evidence gathered for one is available to the others.
