At Arcipel, we specialise in providing innovative solutions tailored to your needs. Our projects span a range of solutions, from comprehensive open-source intelligence delivery, to forward-looking analysis and foresight through gaming, scenario modelling, to help clients anticipate geopolitical and strategic risks.
Future Conflict
The UK Ministry of Defence tasked Arcipel with delivering a project examining the threat of a revanchist Russia amid a new European security architecture. Arcipel is delivering TTXs bringing together senior practitioners, defence officials, and international experts to explore how Europe would react to a future crisis.
Commercial Disruption
As part of the safety and security training for staff, Arcipel designed and delivered a bespoke tabletop exercise for a major Middle Eastern oil company. The exercise supported senior leadership in stress-testing, decision-making, crisis coordination, and operational resilience. The exercise explored how state and non-state actors might target critical energy infrastructure, and how a coordinated corporate response could mitigate risk and maintain stability.
Human Intelligence
Our team at Arcipel regularly engages in open-source human intelligence for a client in East Asia, providing interview-led research in the defence and security sector on a range of strategic topics. The research includes interviews with governmental and commercial individuals across the globe to deliver the latest, on-the-ground information for the client.
Scenario Planning
Arcipel delivered a year-long project for the U.S. Department of Defense examining escalation management dynamics in the Gulf. The work combined strategic analysis with a series of scenario-based exercises designed to explore how a conflict with Iran could unfold under different political and operational conditions. The project provided the DoD with a structured framework for understanding escalation pathways and identifying potential miscalculation risks in a rapidly evolving regional crisis.
Situation Monitoring
Arcipel was contracted by a sovereign wealth fund to provide weekly monitoring on the political and economic developments in China. The research and analysis enabled the client to think holistically about investments in China, identify potential future risks in the relevant sub-sectors and structure engagements to mitigate against future pitfalls.
