What you get in a brief

Twelve modules of structured intelligence, generated for your specific trip and traveler profile.

From the founder

Built by a working executive protection professional.

Groundwork was built from the inside of the field, not from outside looking in. Nearly two decades of close-protection and security-consulting work, supporting CEOs, UHNW principals, and foreign dignitaries through routine business travel and complex moves through harder environments. Day job is still active EP for a Fortune 500 executive.

Every module here reflects the actual advance work an EP team does before a principal flies: the questions you ask, the checks you run, the contacts you confirm. The kind of prep work that traditionally takes a small team a day or two now compresses to minutes, on the same operational logic, for travelers who aren't traveling with a security detail.

Some details about the operator have to stay vague because of the nature of the work. The product itself doesn't.

On the horizon

Currently in active development.

Atlas
Five live intelligence feeds for any destination: government advisories, ACLED conflict events, GDELT incident tracking, OpenSanctions regime data, and UN OCHA humanitarian reports, every entry source-linked with a timestamp and confidence flag, not a summary. An interactive globe view is coming next, plotting all of it spatially instead of as a list. Toggle-gated for operators and EP professionals.

Groundwork Defensive
A 7-part operating framework for contested environments: armed faction mapping, front lines and checkpoint control, safe corridors and verified safe havens, kidnap-for-ransom activity, comms blackout zones. Every data point carries a confidence tier and a timestamp. Deliberately scoped to the handful of destinations where this framework actually applies, not a generic risk score. Distinct from Evacuation: this is about operating inside a contested environment, not getting out of one.
