Afri Sahel Risk Intel

Our Services

AfriSahel Risk Intel offers four service tiers, from rapid intelligence briefs to sustained advisory engagement. All services are tailored to your specific geography, sector exposure, and decision horizon.

1. Rapid Intelligence Brief

Formerly: Rapid Navigation Memo

Decision-grade intelligence on a specific situation, delivered within 72 hours.

When a development breaks — a coup, an election, a security incident, a regulatory shift — you need a clear, fast read on what it means for your operations. The Rapid Intelligence Brief gives you exactly that: a four to six page structured assessment covering what is happening, what the patterns indicate, what options remain open, and what to watch next.

Situation analysis and pattern identification

Operational implications for your sector or geography

Near-term scenarios with probability weighting

Recommended early indicators to monitor

Format: Written brief, PDF delivery

Turnaround: 48–72 hours from commission

Best for: Corporate operators, logistics firms, investors, NGOs requiring fast situational clarity

Pricing: Contact us for rates

2. Early Warning Monitoring

Formerly: Immersive Early-Warning Monitoring

Ongoing intelligence coverage of your specific risk environment, delivered monthly.

For clients with sustained exposure to West Africa or the Sahel, a single brief is not enough. Early Warning Monitoring provides a continuous intelligence feed — tracking behavioral shifts, governance signals, corridor stress, and community dynamics before they surface as operational disruptions.

Each monthly cycle includes:

A written intelligence update covering your designated geography or corridor

Narrative shift tracking — what key actors are saying and signaling

Regime and community mood indicators

Emerging stress points across economic, security, and political dimensions

One advisory call to discuss implications and priorities

Format: Monthly written report plus one call

Best for: Extractive companies, development finance institutions, humanitarian operators, maritime firms

Pricing: Monthly retainer — contact us for rates

3. Retained Advisory

Ongoing access to specialist judgment — for clients who need an expert they can call.

This is our most senior engagement model. A retained advisory arrangement gives you direct, priority access to AfriSahel’s lead analyst on an ongoing basis — for pressure-testing decisions, interpreting fast-moving developments, or navigating situations where the stakes are too high for generic analysis.

Each month includes:

One tailored intelligence briefing on your priority risk environment

Two advisory calls (30–45 minutes each)

Priority response within 24 hours when situations develop

Unlimited email correspondence on emerging questions

Best for: Senior executives, institutional decision-makers, programme directors, and legal or compliance teams requiring sustained expert engagement

Pricing: Monthly retainer from $3,500 — contact us to discuss

4. Bespoke Research and Risk Assessment

In-depth analysis for high-stakes decisions.

When you need more than a brief — a full country risk assessment, a due diligence report on a specific actor or corridor, a programme risk framework, or an AML/TF typology analysis — we design and deliver a bespoke research engagement scoped to your requirements.

Past engagements have covered:

  • Conflict financing and illicit economy mapping in the Sahel
  • JNIM and ISGS operational dynamics and governance reach
  • Gulf of Guinea maritime risk and IUU fishing networks
  • Farmer-herder conflict drivers and early warning indicators
  • AML/TF typologies for West African financial operators

Format: Full written report, with optional executive briefing

Timeline: Agreed at scoping — typically two to four weeks

Best for: Investors, multilateral institutions, financial intelligence units, policy teams

Pricing: Scoped per engagement — contact us to discuss.
