MAPping STRUCTUREs OF STRATEGIC COMPETITION

We analyze how investment flows, infrastructure development, ownership structures, and commercial presence shape strategic leverage between states. By examining where capital concentrates, who controls critical assets, and how dependencies form over time, this analysis helps decision-makers understand how economic activity is used as a tool of influence, coercion, or long-term positioning in strategic competition.

This supports country and regional assessments, long-term competition analysis, and policy planning where traditional military indicators alone fail to capture evolving power dynamics.

We evaluate defense-adjacent industrial capacity, manufacturing networks, logistics systems, and critical inputs that underpin military readiness and resilience. This includes identifying concentration risk, foreign ownership exposure, single points of failure, and dependencies on adversarial or unstable suppliers.

The analysis is used to inform supply chain resilience planning, industrial base assessments, partner capability evaluations, and decisions related to procurement, diversification, and strategic stockpiling.

We map corporate ownership, subsidiary relationships, sanctioned entities, and affiliated commercial activity to uncover indirect exposure, sanctions evasion risk, and hidden influence pathways. This approach goes beyond static sanctions lists by analyzing how ownership and operational behavior interact across jurisdictions.

These insights support sanctions enforcement, compliance monitoring, export control decisions, and assessments of how economic restrictions are being adapted to or circumvented in practice.
