Where field intelligence meets strategic decision-making.
A boutique advisory firm at the intersection of ground-truth intelligence, AI-augmented analysis, and strategic counsel — for clients operating where conventional analysis falls short.
Built by
practitioners.
SISG was founded by practitioners with direct field experience across MENA, the Levant, North Africa, and the Sahel. We have negotiated access with non-state armed groups, coordinated civil-military operations, and advised institutions in the world's most demanding security environments.
Our founding team brings together operational depth, academic rigour in international relations and international humanitarian law, and a practitioner network built over decades — not assembled from a directory.
Ground-truth intelligence is inaccessible to desk-based analysts — field access requires networks built over decades.
Conflict dynamics and political transitions shift faster than traditional reporting cycles.
Non-state actors and grey-zone operators determine outcomes that formal analysis ignores.
AI-generated disinformation is distorting situational awareness at accelerating pace.
IHL, sanctions and compliance requirements intersect with operational realities in ways standard counsel cannot navigate alone.
