What we do

In 1,000 words or less, we provide unbiased, candid Option Papers & Assessment Papers focused on national security topics. While we assess complex issues and provide options, we never provide recommendations.

Why we do it

In 2016, we recognized a gap in national security analysis website offerings. We set out to create a venue where professionals and casual readers alike could access short form, easy-to-read essays tailored for busy lifestyles.

Who writes for us

From the well-known to budding authors, we welcome submissions from all who have something to contribute. We believe that the quality and diversity of our content matters more than the pedigree of our writers.

Our values

We strive to promote evidence based arguments, written cogently, and without bias. We believe that our readership deserves thoroughly researched and cited articles that help elevate our understanding of a complex world.
