Intelligence Research, Grounded in Tradecraft
Pangea Research is a practitioner-led intelligence firm serving government agencies, law enforcement, and private sector organizations. We conduct open-source intelligence research, build OSINT programs, and publish free educational resources grounded in real-world tradecraft.
What We Do
We help organizations collect, analyze, and act on open-source intelligence — and we help practitioners get better at the work itself.
OSINT Research & Analysis
Targeted open-source intelligence research for due diligence, risk assessment, competitive analysis, and investigative support. We deliver finished intelligence products — not raw data dumps.
Training & Education
Custom OSINT training programs, workshops, and curriculum development for organizations building or improving in-house intelligence capabilities. We teach tradecraft that's grounded in doctrine and built for practitioners.
Program Development & Advisory
OSINT workflow assessments, SOP development, policy governance, and technology recommendations for organizations standing up or maturing their intelligence programs.
The Intelligence Fundamentals Project
We publish free, in-depth research on intelligence methodology through The Intelligence Fundamentals Project on Substack. The series covers the intelligence cycle, analytic standards, intelligence disciplines, collection management, and more, written for practitioners across military, law enforcement, and private sector contexts.
