See who actually controls the systems you depend on.
Those responsible for procurement, resilience or strategic autonomy.
Modern defence and infrastructure procurement runs through proprietary, as-a-service ecosystems that quietly limit national control and auditability. We trace ownership and dependency, and make the governance gaps visible before they become contractual.
Three services, with the time each takes
Sovereignty & dependency assessment
Mapping vendor, infrastructure and jurisdictional exposure across the systems you rely on, and where control has quietly moved offshore.
AI-enabled procurement framework
A structured basis for evaluating the procurement, deployment and governance of AI-enabled systems against sovereignty and operational integrity.
Scenario planning & foresight
Custom simulations that test how a procurement or dependency behaves under geopolitical stress.
What is driving the question here
Sovereignty risk
Vendor and jurisdictional exposure across the digital and physical systems a state relies on.
Procurement pathways
Field mapping of how a technology actually enters the estate, and who retains control once it has.
Infrastructure ownership
Tracing the ownership and control layers behind critical digital and physical infrastructure.
Scenario planning
Testing how a dependency behaves under geopolitical stress, for defensive planning and policy.
Work in this sector
We built a strategic assessment framework for AI-enabled defence technology procurement with a confidential government client and an international academic institution.
Three ways to start
Scoping review
2 weeks · fixed fee
We establish what you are actually deciding, what evidence you already hold, and whether the question needs us at all.
- Two structured sessions with your team
- Review of existing documentation and data
- A written scope with options, effort and sequence
Assessment
6–10 weeks · fixed scope
A structured review against a defined standard — regulatory, methodological or strategic — returned as a prioritised action list rather than a report that sits on a shelf.
- Baseline against the applicable framework
- Benchmarking against comparable organisations
- Findings ranked by exposure, with owners and sequence
- A workshop handing the findings to the people who act on them
Retained advisory
6–12 months · monthly
For organisations under continuing regulatory or geopolitical pressure, where the question changes faster than a project can answer it.
- Standing access for named decision-makers
- Quarterly horizon briefings on your specific exposure
- Board and committee material on request
