The Deliverables

What your team
walks away with.

Cue recognition under operational pressure: behavioral reads that hold when time and stakes compress
Threat assessment: microexpression and cluster decoding for screening, protection, and field contexts
Science-based interviewing: ORBIT rapport, Strategic Use of Evidence, and lawful, Mendez-aligned practice
Elicitation discipline: gathering information conversationally, and recognizing when it is being used against your people
Mission-scoped delivery: interrogation, surveillance, and field deployment variants built for your unit's context

After a single session with U.S. Army personnel, Chris received an Army decoration for exceptional civilian service, a distinction presented for exceptional impact on readiness and effectiveness.

Inside the Training

What we cover,
and why it works.

01
Operational cue recognition
Reading behavior in compressed timelines: checkpoints, interviews, protective details. Trained against realistic pressure, not classroom conditions.
02
Threat assessment and screening
Baseline deviation, concealment indicators, and cluster analysis for identifying persons of concern before intent becomes action.
03
Science-based interviewing
The modern evidence base: ORBIT rapport, PEACE structure, and the Strategic Use of Evidence, aligned with lawful and ethical standards including the Mendez Principles.
04
Elicitation and counter-elicitation
The conversational techniques taught across the intelligence and counterintelligence world, and how to recognize them when they are aimed at your personnel.
05
Field observation and surveillance
Sustained behavioral observation: what changes when you watch over hours instead of minutes, and how to document what you see.
06
Custom mission scoping
Every engagement is scoped to your operational environment, clearance requirements, and unit composition. Onsite or secure-facility delivery available.
