Frequently Asked Questions

We provide intelligence-led threat assessments for organisations facing emerging risks. When a situation arises — an activist campaign, a threatening individual, a grievance escalating — we assess the threat, determine how it may develop, and provide clear recommendations. Think of it as bringing intelligence discipline to corporate risk decisions.

A written assessment report with clear bottom-line judgement, analysis of the threat and how it may evolve, exposure mapping, and recommended response options. Plus an executive briefing to walk through findings and answer questions. Delivered within 24-72 hours.

Activist mobilisation, harassment and grievance escalation, threats to staff and leadership, hostile actor behaviour, workplace violence risk, and reputational pressure situations. Generally, situations where someone or something poses a credible risk to people, operations, or reputation.

Typically 24-72 hours from engagement start to delivery. For urgent situations, we can prioritise and deliver within 24 hours.

Intelligence analysis and public safety. The Principal has led intelligence functions, assessed serious threats including high-risk offenders, and briefed senior executives on strategic intelligence. That discipline — structured analysis, calibrated judgement, evidence-based assessment — is applied to corporate settings.

Security consultants typically focus on physical security, access control, and operational measures. Threat assessment is about understanding the actor — their capability, intent, and trajectory. It's intelligence analysis, not security operations. Different discipline, different skill set.

A structured document with: executive summary and bottom-line judgement, situation overview, detailed threat analysis, escalation pathways (how it may develop), exposure analysis (where risk concentrates), and specific recommendations. Clear, actionable, no fluff.

No. Intelligence analysis deals in likelihood, not certainty. We provide the best judgement possible based on available information, with honest acknowledgment of uncertainty. Sound analysis can still produce adverse outcomes — but it dramatically improves the odds of good decisions.

Assessments are point-in-time. If the situation develops significantly, we can conduct a follow-up assessment or discuss a monitoring retainer for ongoing situations. Brief clarifying questions after delivery are addressed at no additional charge.

Confidentiality is foundational. We don't discuss client engagements — even anonymously — without explicit consent. The engagement letter includes confidentiality provisions. Our reputation depends on discretion.

Reach out via the contact form. We'll schedule a brief call to understand the situation, and if it's a fit, we'll send an engagement letter. Once signed, work begins immediately.
