Where field intelligence meets strategic decision-making.
A boutique advisory firm delivering comprehensive consultancy grounded in strategic intelligence. Ground truth from people who are there, collection and source scoring through Resolyn, our own intelligence workflow, and strategic counsel carried to the decision as one mandate, not as seven separate reports.
Built by
practitioners.
SISG was founded by practitioners with direct experience across the MENA region and the Sahel, in some of the most demanding commercial, governmental, and security environments in the world. We advise institutions and corporates where the published picture stops short of the truth, and where a decision cannot wait for certainty.
Our founding team brings together operational depth, rigour in international relations, law, and compliance, and a practitioner network built over decades, not assembled from a directory. It spans the full range of our work, from market entry and political risk to crisis, compliance, and the information environment.
The picture that decides an outcome is rarely on the published page. It takes networks built over decades, not a database subscription.
Markets, regulations, and political conditions shift faster than the reporting cycles most decisions still rely on.
The people and entities who shape an outcome are often the ones least visible in formal analysis and standard due diligence.
AI-generated disinformation and coordinated narratives distort the picture decision-makers depend on, at accelerating pace.
Sanctions, compliance, and legal exposure now intersect with commercial and operational decisions in ways standard counsel cannot navigate alone.
We publish what we expect to happen,
and the date it settles.
Every note carries dated forecasts with probabilities attached, and the specific evidence that would prove us wrong. When one resolves against us it stays on the record in red. Judgement that cannot be graded is opinion.

Seven ways in.
Clients arrive through one of these. Most mandates end up drawing on several, because the factors that decide an outcome rarely sit inside a single discipline.
Bespoke threat assessments, scenario planning, and early warning for clients in fragile and contested markets.
