Potomac Strategy will execute this work according to five principles calibrated to Gulf realities and to faith-based activity in high-sensitivity environments
WHAT WE DO
Research That Drives Decisions
Our analysts draw on a multilingual network of former officials, security specialists, journalists, and academic experts across the GCC, Europe, and North America. We combine open-source intelligence with contextual regional knowledge to deliver findings that are rigorous, timely, and actionable.
Geopolitical, Economic, and Extremism Monitoring and Assessment
Country, and regional risk profiles tracking extremist movements, political stability, complex economics, policy shifts, and leadership dynamics to inform investment, partnership, and operational decisions.
Strategic Forecasting
Scenario-based analysis and intelligence estimates on emerging trends, conflict dynamics, and power realignments across the MENA region and beyond.
Threat & Security Briefings
Bespoke analysis for those operating in complex or elevated-risk environments.
Due Diligence & Integrity Checks
Enhanced background investigations on individuals and entities, including subject profiling, link analysis, and reputational risk identification.
Social Media Monitoring
Continuous tracking of platform activity to surface emerging narratives, coordinated behavior, sentiment shifts, and reputa-tional or security signals in near real time.
Dark Web Monitoring
Structured observation of closed forums, marketplaces, and encrypted channels to identify exposed credentials, threat chatter, illicit activity, and early indicators of risk to people, assets, and institutions.
OUR APPROACH
Rigorous.
Multilingual.
Discreet.
Every engagement begins with a clear definition of the client's decision need. We do not produce generic reports. Our analysts identify the specific risk factors, stakeholder dynamics, and contextual variables relevant to the situation at hand, then deliver findings in a concise, structured format that supports real-time decision-making.
​
Our team operates with in-house linguistic fluency across nine languages including Arabic, English, French, Russian, and Spanish, enabling direct-source research across multiple regions without reliance on translation intermediaries.
All engagements are handled with strict confidentiality. Many of our clients operate in sensitive institutional or political environments where discretion is not a preference but a requirement. Our protocols reflect that reality.
We have delivered research and intelligence products to GCC government ministries, multinational corporations, international financial institutions, and family offices with assets and interests across the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
