The vantage behind frontlines
Information about conflict is conflict-affected information. Armed actors routinely distort the seeming "facts" of war, from perpetrators to resource markets, and from targets to coalitions. By controlling information streams, militants not only misrepresent real-world dynamics—they shape the data driving global understandings of war.
Civilians frequently warn that what they see differs dramatically from what is available in official and international accounts, yet lack reliable tools to document in-hand evidence or secure mechanisms to share it.

On-the-ground networks provide distinctive access to rare, high-quality evidence and backroom knowledge of crimes, conflict, and atrocity. This evidence reveals a different story from what typical channels report, but often goes overlooked. By providing gold-standard training and evidence documentation tools, we work with local communities to convert in-hand knowledge to systematic evidence.
Our vantage behind frontlines allows us to see data vulnerabilities others cannot. We leverage this vantage to innovate rigorous methods to systematically evaluate information streams driving global decisions. Through partnerships with international organizations, governments, and non-governmental organizations we provide tech tools to validate conflict data, assess evidence quality, and test for systemic vulnerabilities—equipping partners to achieve their missions.
By delivering gold-standard documentation methods, bridging frontline evidence to high-level courts, policy and research, and innovating data integrity tools, we strengthen the global evidence base on conflict to advance accountability and promote effective pathways to peace.
A world where credible, grounded evidence can reduce violence, strengthen understanding, and check the power of those responsible for atrocity.
