disinformation Research and threat response

Whether for profit or political gain – or both – disinformation is increasingly deployed to shape conversations across diverse platforms and around the world.

Our disinformation and networked propaganda response practice cuts through the noise to uncover the workings behind these sophisticated (and often nefarious) campaigns. Our tools are qualitative and quantitative. We systematically map how disinformation is disseminated, distinguish the organic from the orchestrated, and ultimately identify the network of actors behind the operation.

We also advise clients on anonymous online harassment and provide threat assessments to security teams and those targeted. We have extensive experience tracking bots and sock puppets and in-depth knowledge of extremists and trolls. 

litigation support

Complex and multi-jurisdictional litigation support is at the core of our services. We help clients by identifying evidence pre-complaint, finding impeachment material and evidence during an active dispute, connecting the dots during a trial, or conducting asset tracing post-judgment.

We also help clients identify and speak with potential witnesses to bolster their legal strategy and are well-versed in the time-sensitive nature of litigation and arbitration work.

opposition research

We conduct opposition research on behalf of advocacy and political groups to boost awareness and messaging. Having worked with internal and external communications and public relations teams, we understand the types of intelligence and information that help communications professionals, and have a track record of uncovering information required for a successful media strategy.

At Telescope Research, we approach opposition research through the investigator’s toolkit by focusing on the facts.
