How We Work
How We Work
We expand your intelligence capabilities through continuous horizon scanning across complementary sectors, identifying emerging shifts before they surface in your industry.
Using structured analytic techniques, we assess their strategic significance and project how they may cascade through your competitive environment.
When high-value opportunities are identified, we mobilize the necessary expertise and resources to develop them fully. We coordinate technical and subject-matter experts to create and execute a strategy that captures first-mover advantage and fully harvests the opportunity.
Each engagement is tailored to your strategic priorities:
- Offense intelligence identifies growth and partnership opportunities.
- Defense intelligence provides early warning of systemic threats.
Our four-stage protocol:
Stage 1: Horizon Scanning – Detect emerging signals of change and leading indicators of disruption across sectors.
Stage 2: Structured Analysis – Assess strategic significance and cascading impacts using intelligence tradecraft. Utilize Structured Analytical Techniques (SAT) to discern opportunities from threats and analyze 2nd and 3rd order effects.
Stage 3: Roundtable Talks – Facilitate discussions and evaluation with aligned leaders when patterns warrant collective consideration.
Stage 4: Strategic Alliances – Provide structure and governance when coordination of formalized alliances and joint ventures serves your objectives.
You retain complete control over which signals merit attention, when dialogue serves your interests, and whether alliance participation aligns with your goals.
