What We Do
Four integrated capabilities. One mission.
Ground Truth NC applies professional intelligence tradecraft to the work of community defense, campaign strategy, and civic protection. These capabilities are mutually reinforcing — the same analytical rigor that drives our threat monitoring powers our opposition research, and the same network infrastructure that supports rapid response connects our campaign advisory clients to the broader civic ecosystem.
01 — Threat Intelligence & Monitoring
Structured, multi-source intelligence products covering extremist activity, election security, immigration enforcement, and political violence across North Carolina. We integrate ACLED event data, OSINT collection from extremist channels, and partner reporting into county-level risk assessments, biweekly incident summaries, and election cycle threat landscape analysis.
Our intelligence-sharing networks connect civil society organizations and coalitions through tiered reporting and hub-and-spoke coordination — so the groups protecting your community are never working blind.
02 — Opposition Research & Campaign Advisory
Deep-background research, candidate vulnerability assessments, and strategic intelligence for campaigns and advocacy organizations. We bring the same methodological discipline we apply to threat analysis — rigorous sourcing, multi-source verification, and structured analytical products — to the competitive intelligence needs of political campaigns and issue advocacy.
This includes candidate background research, public record deep-dives, opposition messaging analysis, donor and network mapping, and strategic threat briefings for campaign leadership. Four cycles of statewide election coordination means we know the North Carolina political landscape at the county level.
03 — Community Safety & Event Security
Hands-on safety planning for organizations and events, translating threat assessment into concrete protective measures that communities can own and operate.
This includes event-specific safety operations manuals and threat briefings, organizational security infrastructure development, de-escalation frameworks and crisis response protocols, and targeted community-level preparedness consulting. We build safety plans your people can actually use — our goal is to strengthen your capacity, not create dependency.
04 — Retained Advisory & Rapid Response
When something breaks, you have someone to call. We provide ongoing retainer support that keeps your organization connected to the statewide intelligence and network infrastructure — not just during crises, but in the steady-state work between them.
This includes a standing coordination retainer with direct access to threat briefings and situational updates, rapid-response support during emerging events, pre-crisis alignment with ecosystem partners, and on-call consultation for organizational security decisions.
