Intelligence Solutions
Investigations, Advisory & Training
Pangea Research is a team of senior intelligence professionals, including PhDs and subject-matter experts across intelligence and adjacent fields. We run open-source investigations, advise organizations rolling out AI or building in-house intelligence capabilities, and train analysts and investigators. Our clients range from intelligence agencies and law enforcement to corporations, NGOs, and private clients.
What We Do
We work at every stage of an intelligence capability: the investigation that answers one question, the program and governance that let a team answer it themselves, and the training that keeps their tradecraft current.
Research & Investigations
Investigations on people, organizations, money, and threats: due diligence and beneficial ownership, financial-crime and asset tracing, threat and protective intelligence, technical and digital investigation, and litigation support. You get finished products you can act on.
Training & Education
Custom training, workshops, and curriculum for teams building in-house intelligence and investigative skills. Written and taught by working experts, mapped to your mission and legal authorities.
Program Development & Advisory
Program development and advisory: designing and maturing intelligence programs, AI implementation and governance, validation frameworks, written policy, SOPs, and technology selection.
The Intelligence Fundamentals Project
We publish free, in-depth research on intelligence methodology through The Intelligence Fundamentals Project on Substack. The series covers the intelligence cycle, analytic standards, intelligence disciplines, collection management, and more, written for practitioners across military, law enforcement, and private sector contexts.
