SGI / NARRATIVE & INFLUENCE
Think tanks · Media · NGOsSocial-listening dashboards tell you what is trending. We tell you what is true underneath it — who is driving a narrative, whether the network behind it is authentic, and whether online incitement is about to turn kinetic. Every account, post, and reach figure in our reporting is verified directly, not inferred from a keyword query.
From a single anchor account to a full two-year resurgence trace — each capability stands alone or compounds with the others, and every deliverable ships with documented methodology fit for peer review.
How a narrative spreads, who steers it, and where it's headed — from the actual seed posts to mass amplification.
Is the campaign organic — or manufactured? Sock puppets, engagement pools, and troll networks, enumerated and fingerprinted.
Foreign and domestic influence activity traced to its operators — methodically, with the evidence shown.
When online outrage starts organizing toward the street — tiered severity analysis of who is mobilizing whom, and how fast.
Pre-publication confidence on viral claims, anonymous accounts, and contested footage — on deadline.
Findings packaged for the audience that needs them — research partners, editorial boards, boards of directors, or Congress.
Client and partner identities are protected as a matter of course. The work below is described in enough detail to judge the craft — and discussed further on a call.
A two-year, two-cycle trace of a contested atrocity claim — from its Arabic-language seed posts in 2024 to a major U.S. newspaper opinion column in 2026. Origin investigation, amplification network, credibility ladder, sponsoring-organization mapping, state-aligned tracks, and phrase-convergence analysis, delivered as an interactive editorial-review report.
During an unfolding episode of European civil unrest: an hour-by-hour escalation curve, a four-tier severity ladder from protest logistics to paramilitary normalization, and lead-actor attribution with post-level verified reach — including the largest escalation node, invisible to location-based listening tools.
Narrative-contagion reporting prepared in support of federally mandated research on online influence, iterated across more than twenty versions and delivered to Congressional audiences.
Location-anchored listening tools miss the accounts that matter most — the biggest escalation nodes often never name the place or use the keyword. We probe platforms directly, verify engagement at the post level, and treat every number as a claim to be checked rather than a fact to be charted.
The result reads like an intelligence product, not an analytics export: bottom line up front, severity tiers defined, confidence stated, and every figure traceable to a source you can click.
The largest node is often invisible to keyword queries
