What STI does

STI provides scheduled open-source intelligence (OSINT) watches. You set the watch terms; STI checks public sources, cross-checks what it finds, and delivers clear, sourced briefs. Every item is labeled Confirmed, Reported or Unverified.

Custom Watch

You choose what STI watches: topics, regions, facilities, lanes, routes, ports, border crossings or traveling staff that matter to your business. Engagements are scoped to each client. Contact [email protected].

Biosecurity / Incident OSINT Watch

Early, verified awareness of biosecurity events and public incidents, drawn from public news, official releases and public outbreak and alert reports.

FOIA / public records

STI drafts, files and tracks FOIA and state public-records requests (official reports, inspection records, incident logs, correspondence). Status updates ride with your regular brief.

Situation Reports (SITREP)

Client Situation Reports and traveler micro-SITREPs (business or tourist) with a ranked summary box: life safety first, then property, then disruption. Source links and confidence labels on every item.

Risk levels and early-warning flags

GREENYELLOWORANGERED

A level for each lane, route or port you choose, and an alert as soon as an analyst confirms something material.

What STI does not do

  • No private medical data: public information only
  • No pathogen lab methods
  • No unverified claims sold as fact: rumors are labeled or left out
