Seven phases. One operating picture.
Engagements look different from the outside. From the inside they all run the same seven phases — because that is the system that holds up under pressure.
- 01
The 90-second audit.
Anonymous, in-browser Bayesian model. Six attack vectors. Outputs a posterior and a recommended tier. No email required.
- 02
The strategy call.
Senior analyst, ~30 minutes. We turn the audit into a scoped engagement. You walk away with a printed defense plan whether or not you sign.
- 03
The forensic baseline.
Two-week deep audit of your full reputation surface. SERPs, AI answers, social, reviews, data brokers, dark forums. The starting state we will measure against.
- 04
Protocol activation.
Atlas, Citadel, Sentinel, Helios, Vault, Vanguard, Beacon — whichever combination your surface calls for. Senior analysts assigned, never coordinators.
- 05
Sentinel-on.
Continuous listening across 14 platforms plus dark forums. Same-shift human triage. 8-minute alert lead time on Tier-1 patterns.
- 06
Quarterly delta scorecard.
Every 90 days, we publish the rank, citation, takedown, and recovery numbers against the baseline. No spin. No cherry-picked windows.
- 07
Re-tune.
Threat surface changes. We re-tune the grid and the protocol every quarter, so the defense stays current with the threat — not the brochure.
The standing engagement opens with a private call.
A single conversation, signed under non-disclosure, with the principal who would own your matter. You leave with a printed posture assessment and the engagement letter, whether or not you retain us.
