Leadership Development
Contexr Center for Leadership — building leaders confident in their ability to exercise judgment and deliver for their citizens or shareholders.
Learn More →Red Team
The Contexr team includes the founder and two long-serving members of the US Special Operations Command Red Team. Unlike Red Cells, Red Teams are not charged with thinking like an opposing force — they provide a second look over US plans and policies, examining assumptions for inconsistencies, fallacious reasoning, faulty intelligence, and changes in context.
The USSOCOM Red Team delivered a sustained series of prescient assessments that became highly sought after by leadership across combatant commands, the intelligence community, and national authorities.
Anticipatory Intelligence
Speculative intelligence is the second mission objective of the 2019 US National Intelligence Strategy. It pushes the boundary between context and decision — anticipating developments so that decision makers might preempt, forestall, deter, or defeat an emerging problem at its source.
Contexr has a deep bench on both sides of the speculative intelligence and policy-making divide. All team members have routinely briefed 4-star and higher leaders on context and recommended courses of action that were successfully implemented.
Counter Strategic Disinformation
Narrative (memetic) warfare is being waged to alter national and global norms in an effort to establish cognitive hegemony in favor of antidemocratic values. Real-time psychometric feedback loops managed by manipulative narrative delivery systems have fundamentally transformed the global mindscape.
Contexr has significant expertise in assessing this threat and providing actionable response programs.
SOF & CWMD
Mutually Assured Destruction no longer works. The most pressing emergent security challenge is that nuclear stalemate is eroding. Hypersonic delivery systems, intercontinental nuclear-powered torpedos, AI, and quantum technologies have already upended the central nuclear balance.
Contexr provides specialized advisory on counter-WMD strategy drawing on decades of experience at the operational and strategic levels.
