Problems we see in every sector.
The organisations we work with tend to run into the same problems.
Conditions change faster than their picture of what is happening.
Relevant information sits across different sources, teams and systems.
Context is lost as work passes between people and teams.
Good advice does not always reach day-to-day operations.
Decisions are revisited without a record of what was known at the time.
Two capabilities. Each works on its own.
The combination matters, but neither capability needs the other to deliver value.


What we mean by it.
Grounded intelligence.
Informed action.
Grounded intelligence
Everything we produce starts from evidence you can check: where it came from, when it was recorded, and how much of the picture we can see. Where our coverage is thin, we say so.
Informed action
Intelligence only matters when it changes what people do. We put it into the plans, decisions and records teams already work from, so the next step is taken with the facts in front of them.
Four rules we follow.
Sources, dates, methods and known limitations stay available to examine.
Where coverage is weak, we report it alongside the result.
CORTEX does the research. Analysts and decision-makers make the decisions.
We describe what is available now separately from what is in development.
Sectors we support today.
