2026: Levelling Up Grey Dynamics Intelligence


Dear Decision Makers

Most intelligence companies make incremental changes.

We’re rebuilding from the ground up.

After running Grey Dynamics for almost 10 years, I’ve learned something critical: junior analysts produce good work. But clients don’t need good.

They need ground truth from people who’ve spent decades in the arena.

Here’s what’s changing in 2025.

Publications: From Good to Elite

We’re winding down our junior analyst program.

Starting next month, our reports come from seasoned professionals. Former CIA case officers. Intelligence service veterans. People with real networks in country who understand how power actually works.

3 weeks ago, we published an F-18 Growler analysis that correctly predicted the mission to attack Venezuela. That report combined open sources with on the ground sourcing in Venezuela.

That’s the new standard.

More expert analysis. More ground truth. No price increase.

Intelligence School: Five Courses in Five Months

The HUMINT course launches end of January. Pre-sale opens today! January 12th. Only 100 seats per cohort.

If you’re on the waitlist, move fast. We already have more demand than seats.

Then we’re launching four more courses:

February: Operational OSINT with Gabe Fanelli (Bronze Star recipient, former Tactical SIGINTer attached to 3rd Special Forces Group, lead OSINT instructor at SOCOM and now our Training Director)

March: TECHINT with Travis Butson (just retired as Major from NZ Air Force, weapons specialist with a system for identifying weapon platforms that doesn’t exist anywhere else)

April: GEOINT with Brian Cameron (10 years at NGA and CIA, one of the leading experts in strategic and tactical geospatial intelligence)

May: SIGINT with Gabe again (teaching everything you can do with signals intelligence using open source tools ethically)

These aren’t theoretical courses. These are taught by professionals who actually did the work.

All courses already in development. All instructors confirmed.

Operations: Doubling Down on the Global South

Our client work continues. Ground truth intelligence for Fortune 500s, private equity, and defense contractors.

But we’re expanding focus: Africa remains primary, with increased emphasis on Latin America and Southeast Asia.

Why Latin America now?

It’s becoming a battleground between US, China, Russia, Iran, and increasingly Europe. If Greenland becomes a real issue, you’ll see massive EU-US fractures.

European support packages for Latin America are already in development and some deployed.

This creates opportunities for clients who understand the dynamics early.

There’s also something new coming.

A product outside Grey Dynamics that leverages everything we’ve learned. Can’t talk about it yet.

But it’s going to be significant.

The Bottom Line

Intelligence isn’t about collecting more information.

It’s about having the right people with the right networks providing the right insights at the right time.

That’s what we’re building.

If you could add one capability to your organization’s intelligence function this year, what would it be?

Dear Design Maker, Most cybersecurity teams are still preparing for yesterday's threats. Here's what they're missing: The first documented AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign just happened. And it changes everything. Anthropic just released a report on what they're calling GTG-1002, a Chinese state-sponsored operation that used AI to execute 80-90% of tactical operations independently. No human in the loop for most of the attack chain. Let me break down what this means for intelligence...

Dear Decision Maker Intelligence-Driven Business Development Your competitors are making million-dollar decisions based on incomplete information. You don't have to. Most business development follows the same playbook: Market research Competitive analysis Sales pipelines Cold outreach It's systematic. It's measurable. It's completely blind to what's actually happening on the ground. Here's what that costs you: You enter markets 6 months after the real opportunity window closed. You target...

Dear Decision Maker, The intelligence industry is stuck in a 1980s mindset. Massive teams. Endless reports. Six-month assessments. Bureaucratic approval chains. It's not working anymore. Last month, a client showed me their internal intelligence division. Forty-three analysts. Annual budget north of $8M. Impressive org chart. State-of-the-art OSINT tools. They asked us to evaluate their Africa strategy. Their team spent 6 weeks producing a 180-page assessment. Every data point verified. Every...
