How we work02 / All-source intelligence analysis & fusion
Multiple sources.
One coherent assessment.
All-source intelligence analysis combines multiple lawful and authorized information streams into one coherent assessment. Publius64 fuses information around a defined decision requirement rather than treating every collection discipline as a stand-alone service.
DECISION REQUIREMENT→AUTHORIZED SOURCES→VALIDATION & CONTEXT→ANALYSIS & ALTERNATIVES→DECISION SUPPORT
Open-source intelligence
Public records, media, corporate information, public social media, databases, commercial sources, digital research, entity resolution and network analysis.
Human-source & liaison intelligence
Authorized interviews, liaison reporting, field observations, witness information, client reporting and other human-derived information evaluated alongside documentary evidence.
Geospatial intelligence
Spatial relationships, movement, infrastructure, geographic exposure, incident mapping, travel environments, assets and operating-area analysis.
Technical & signals environment analysis
Lawfully obtained or client-provided technical, RF, communications-environment, telemetry, spectrum and related reporting incorporated when relevant to the decision requirement.
Investigative intelligence
Records, timelines, relationships, affiliations, due diligence, evidentiary chronology, source provenance and alternative-hypothesis testing.
Strategic intelligence
Geopolitical, foreign-affairs, political leadership, corporate leadership, competitive, country and organizational analysis.
What “all-source” means here. Publius64 analyzes and fuses intelligence from multiple lawful sources. It does not claim to conduct every intelligence collection discipline. Human-derived reporting is authorized and overt; technical or signals-derived information is lawfully obtained or client-provided. Publius64 does not advertise clandestine HUMINT operations, communications interception or independent SIGINT collection.
PULSE-EP / A PUBLIUS64 PROTECTIVE-INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTKnow before
Know before
you move.
PULSE-EP is a specialized application of Publius64’s broader all-source analytic tradecraft to the protectee’s operating environment. The assessment connects OSINT, geospatial context, authorized reporting, leadership and cultural analysis, geopolitical conditions, travel intelligence, network analysis and protective indicators.
The product informs the protectee and protection team: what changed, why it matters, what remains uncertain, and what should trigger a different posture before movement, an event, a transaction or a public appearance.
Know before you move. Protective intelligence should support the judgment of the people responsible for protection—not replace it.
OSINTGEOINT / GISAUTHORIZED REPORTINGLEADERSHIP / CULTUREGEOPOLITICALTRAVELNETWORKS
Three layers. One informed decision.
Colors identify analytic layers—not low, medium or high risk.
What matters now.
Assess time-sensitive threats, exposed schedules, repeated unwanted contact, approach behavior, access attempts and event-specific indicators.
Does this require attention or escalation now?
Where activity meets exposure.
Connect trips, venues, meetings, hosts, public appearances and information exposure to the planning and coordination they require.
What should change for this trip or engagement?
The environment beyond the event.
Examine geopolitical context, business transitions, public narratives, relevant relationships and longer-term changes in exposure.
What could change the operating picture next?
Same protectee.
A different environment.
A baseline is a starting point. Each new destination, engagement or material development creates a new question to assess.
Understand the person before assessing the journey.
Resolve identity, distinguish public prominence from evidence of targeting, review relevant affiliations and establish known exposure. Identify missing information and agree on the protective decisions the assessment must inform.
Put the next engagement in local context.
Evaluate the confirmed activity, host, venue environment, public visibility, access concerns and locally relevant disruption or targeting indicators. Translate findings into advance questions, liaison requirements and proportionate monitoring—not a blanket deployment recommendation.
Reassess the destination, not just the itinerary.
For international destinations, add geopolitical conditions, cultural expectations, local-source context, business relationships and relevant information-security concerns. Examine their specific implications for the protectee. Nationality, culture and affiliation alone do not establish hostile intent.
Explain the change. Revisit the decision.
A new appearance, public announcement, disclosure or credible incident may change exposure. An agreed update cycle identifies what changed, whether the evidence supports a different posture, who should review it and what would trigger further action. Monitoring scope and cadence are established for each engagement.
CONUS means the contiguous United States. OCONUS means outside the contiguous United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territories—not only foreign travel. Protected routes, lodging and private itineraries remain outside public-facing reporting.
Evidence-led dispositionsDocument / closeMonitorReferUrgently escalateNo automated violence score.
Illustrative use case
A business transition.
An evolving travel plan.
An executive is preparing for a major business transition and an overseas engagement. The assessment first establishes the exposure baseline, then evaluates transaction publicity, confirmed activity, destination context and information gaps. The recommendation may be targeted monitoring and event-specific preparation rather than standing deployment. New evidence—not prominence alone—drives escalation.
Hypothetical scenario, not a named client engagement, endorsement or live assessment. Findings are bounded by the available sources and review period.
ETF-CI / A PUBLIUS64 INSIDER-THREAT & RISK APPStructure the risk question.
Structured professional judgment
Structure the risk question.
Preserve the evidence.
ETF-CI is an insider-threat and risk-assessment app designed to support structured professional judgment. It organizes observable information into a repeatable review of risk, confidence, evidence sufficiency, unknowns, competing explanations, protective factors and proportionate next steps.
The app supports triage, fuller case formulation, intelligence-gap identification and reassessment. It is designed to help authorized reviewers document why a concern warrants additional collection, monitoring, safeguards or closure without turning a score into an accusation.
Start with triage.
An 18-item screener helps determine whether the available information warrants a fuller structured review. Screening is intake—not a final finding.
Build the case formulation.
A 62-indicator full assessment organizes relevant observations while preserving source provenance, unknowns and the distinction between evidence and inference.
Apply evidence controls.
Coding guidance, minimum-evidence rules and double-counting controls help keep repeated facts from becoming artificial certainty.
Act proportionately.
Report the risk formulation together with confidence, case stage, alternatives, protective factors and a documented next step, then reassess when conditions change.
Decision support—not adjudication. ETF-CI is a structured professional judgment app and controlled-use framework. It is not a validated actuarial instrument or a stand-alone accusation, disciplinary, clearance, criminal or adjudicative tool. A numeric score alone is not a conclusion.
03 / Counterintelligence & organizational protection
Protect knowledge, access
and organizational advantage.
Publius64 uses counterintelligence-informed analysis to examine how people, partnerships, trusted access and external relationships intersect with critical information. The goal is to identify exposure, suspicious access patterns, intelligence gaps and proportionate safeguards without treating affiliation or access alone as evidence of wrongdoing.
01
Identify what matters.
Define the research, trade secrets, commercial information and institutional knowledge that require protection.
02
Understand access and relationships.
Map roles, affiliations, third parties and authorized information pathways around those assets.
03
Examine conduct. Recommend safeguards.
Assess corroborated concerns, competing explanations and control gaps; identify proportionate next steps for leadership, counsel and security.
Board · Advisor · Partner · Trusted access
Before access
becomes trust.
Due diligence around appointments and partnerships should examine more than a résumé. We develop the context needed to understand who is joining, what access the role creates and which questions remain unresolved.
Board, advisor & organizational “joiner” reviews
Here, a “joiner” is a person entering a board, advisory group or other trusted role—not a label for a suspected actor. Review can cover verified identity, appointment history, relevant affiliations, conflicts and role-related access—including requests beyond the role or unexplained attempts to widen access. These are questions to corroborate, not proof of intent. Joining an organization is not itself evidence of misconduct.
IP exposure & information pathways
Assess public disclosures and records lawfully supplied by the organization to identify how sensitive knowledge may become exposed. Findings distinguish a disclosure, a suspected transfer and a verified incident; attribution requires supporting evidence.
Organizational threat assessment
Bring external targeting concerns, authorized insider-risk reporting and critical-asset exposure into one evidence-led assessment. Define gaps, plausible alternatives, proportionate safeguards and referral thresholds. Assessments do not replace legal, employment or technical adjudication.
Relationships provide context. Evidence supports conclusions. Affiliation, nationality or a board seat alone is not a threat indicator.

04 / OSINT & investigative intelligence
A connection is a lead.
Not a conclusion.
We use open-source intelligence (OSINT) and authorized records to follow the evidence across people, organizations and events—resolving identities, testing explanations and documenting what can actually be supported.
Traceable, not merely visual
Discuss an investigationRelationship maps distinguish verified links from unresolved leads. Timelines retain source dates, provenance and contrary evidence. Neither a shared address nor an overlapping affiliation proves coordination.
People / organizations / events
Network mapping & source-validated investigations
Develop relationship maps, affiliation histories, actor and entity profiles, evidence chronologies and research briefs. Separate documented access and influence from assumptions about purpose or intent.
Exposure / disclosure
Information-leak & exposure review
Identify publicly visible disclosures, exposed documents, impersonation and possible information-transfer pathways. Evaluate provenance, timing and relevance using lawful sources and authorized client records.
No purchase of stolen data, credential use or unauthorized access. Technical containment stays with authorized security specialists.
Contact / observation / approach
Surveillance, exposure & targeting indicators
Correlate reported surveillance indicators, pre-operational observation, location seeking, repeated presence, unwanted contact, digital exposure, route or schedule leakage and suspicious access behavior. Pattern correlation and source validation help distinguish concern from assumption.
An intelligence assessment, not a technical sweep or counter-surveillance service. When warranted, findings can support referral to appropriately qualified TSCM or physical surveillance-detection specialists.
Typical outputs: a sourced assessment, relationship map, evidence chronology, confidence statements, unresolved questions and proportionate recommendations.
05 / Strategic intelligence · Competitive intelligence
Know the market.
Read the signals.
Competitive intelligence is one component of Publius64’s strategic-intelligence practice. It turns lawful public information into a decision picture covering competitors, markets, executive moves, partnerships, transactions, public filings, litigation posture, product direction and other strategic signals.
Track meaningful change.
Monitor leadership turnover, acquisitions, partnerships, product activity and public positioning that could affect your organization.
Build context around signals.
Separate routine noise from developments with potential strategic impact, using timelines, source quality and alternative explanations.
Brief the people who act.
Produce competitor profiles, watchlists, comparative briefs, relationship maps and intelligence gaps for executives, boards and counsel.
Checks and balances are useful beyond government. Strong decisions improve when evidence is tested against competing explanations before action.
Competitive intelligence in Salt Lake City, Ogden and across Utah—built for decision support, not corporate espionage.
06 / Strategic intelligence · Political & leadership analysis
Understand the leadership.
Read the context.
Assess foreign leadership, corporate leadership and public political actors through sourced public records, decisions, statements, institutions, incentives and relationships—separating documented facts from inference and attributed interpretation.
Public record before political narrative. Leadership analysis should preserve context, attribution and the distinction between evidence and interpretation.
Publius64 develops source-grounded leadership profiles and strategic research briefs that connect documented career histories, public statements, decisions, relationships and institutional constraints. Strategic-intelligence applications also include geopolitical and foreign-affairs analysis, country and operating-environment assessments, corporate intelligence and China-focused research when relevant to the requirement.

10 / Our approach
The value is in the judgment.
And the evidence behind it.
A clear question at the start. Human review throughout. Conclusions that show both their basis and their limits.
The decision.
Agree on the purpose, authority, operating environment, information needs and boundaries of the engagement.
The evidence.
Research lawful public sources and authorized records. Establish identity, preserve provenance and minimize personal information.
The meaning.
Test source quality and alternative explanations. Keep facts, judgments, assumptions and intelligence gaps distinct.
The next step.
Deliver an assessment with proportionate recommendations, clear review triggers and the questions that still need answers.
Exposure is not the same as a threat. Confidence is not a severity rating. Lawful criticism, belief and association are not treated as threat indicators without additional evidence of protective relevance. Assessments support informed decisions; they do not predict violence, establish guilt or guarantee safety.
