Our Services
We help our clients with analysis, research, assessments, strategy, and policy at the intersections of law, geopolitics, and security. We focus on Australia and the near regions. Our services include the conceptual development of analytical tools and techniques in the intellectual warfare domain. Some of our services are only provided to government.
We also develop proprietary tools and techniques to assist with our specialised analysis and research. One of those is Kidlin’s Handle, which we use to define, construct, and test problem statements. Another is the Norfolk Assessment Tool, which we use to conduct multidimensional analysis of problem statements.
Our analytical skills come from strong intellectual foundations, enquiring minds, and broad knowledge and experience. Our reports are concise, direct, and focussed on practical outcomes. Our reports are publication standard. We write to provide our clients with insights and ideas that will help them make decisions that are best suited to their needs.
Through our services, we help our clients to better understand critical events, identify relevant factors, and map key trends. Our analytical tools and techniques help our clients know and respond to situations. We want to help our clients avoid risks wherever practicable and to benefit wherever possible.
We will secure the same for you.
Our Approach
We provide bespoke solutions for our clients. When commissioned, we will conduct an initial assessment to understand the client, the situation, and their needs. This assists us to work with the client on a problem statement, an agreed scope, and the key requirements.
We will use methods that we assess are best suited to meeting the client’s needs. This may involve using established methods in unconventional ways, or applying some of our in-house tools and techniques. We focus on qualitative methods as we think they will reveal a different perspective for our clients.
Where appropriate, we will draw on our academic and professional networks to engage others with relevant expertise to work with us on the commission. Fieldwork is an important part of our approach. We will adhere to the highest standards of probative evidence, fact-based inquiry, and rigorous logic in our work.
Our reports will be concise, direct, and focussed on practical outcomes. Where possible, we will write an article (at no expense to the client) on an aspect of the commission for public education. We believe in the social utility of sharing knowledge and that the client is often the greatest beneficiary in time.
