nations relationship & Defense Analyst Needed
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m looking for an India-based geopolitical intelligence professional who can produce recurring, security-focused analysis on terrorism and insurgency in South Asia. The assignment centers on actionable written reports that will inform our internal policy team and senior leadership.
Over the next three months I need a series of concise, evidence-driven intelligence briefs. Each report (about 5–7 pages) should track recent militant activity, map shifting alliances, evaluate state and non-state capabilities, and conclude with clear risk indicators and recommendations. Your primary sources will be open-source intelligence, local-language media monitoring, academic journals, think-tank releases, and, where it adds value, satellite or other geospatial data.
Feel free to draw on the analytic frameworks you know best—PMESII, SWOT, or your own established methodology—so long as every claim is properly sourced and your logic chain is transparent. Tools such as Maltego, ArcGIS, Palantir, or even a well-structured Excel model are welcome if they help you uncover patterns or present findings more convincingly. The core deliverable, however, is the narrative analysis; any maps, charts, or spreadsheets are supporting material.
Deliverables
• Six bi-weekly written intelligence briefs in editable Word format, each with a one-paragraph executive summary.
Acceptance criteria
• Evidence-based assessments with footnoted sources.
• Original analysis only—no plagiarism.
• On-time delivery; delays beyond 24 hours require prior notice.
If this scope aligns with your expertise, tell me how you would structure the first brief and which data streams you would prioritize.
