We Start Where AI Ends
Find the knowledge your data can't reach, by engaging the unexpected and unrecognized experts with the right questions.
20+ years of Open HUMINT expertise, business and public sector
Overlooked people share what they know in interviews. Through the TINO method each claim is cross-checked against other sources; only what holds up becomes a business answer: a decision, a risk or an opportunity.
01The problem
AI can't reach undocumented knowledge.
AI is powerful, but it only works with what's already been written down. The most valuable knowledge lives in people's heads.
What AI does well
Within what's already known
- Searches indexed, published data
- Summarizes what's already been published
- Generates answers from existing data
What Open HUMINT unlocks
Beyond what's written down
- Finds undocumented expertise and insights
- Finds the most credible, unbiased experts
- Reaches knowledge that isn't searchable or published
02Our approach
Open HUMINT: human intelligence, on the record.
The HUMINT field ranges from covert, operational work to open research with willing experts. We work only at the open end.
Operational HUMINT
Not what we do
- Covert source recruitment
- Surveillance and observation
- Intelligence on people, often without their knowledge
Open HUMINT
How we work
- Willing expert participants, identified and on the record
- Consent-based interviews
