THE PEOPLE
BEHIND THE INSIGHT.
A team connecting human dynamics, analytical experience and technical development at USF SAIL.
THE CORE TEAM
EXPERIENCE THAT
CONNECTS THE DOTS.
INSIGHT is the Interdisciplinary Network for Security Insights on Global Human Dynamics Trends. At SAIL, the Core Team supports research through evidence, expert judgment, data and modeling.
Adam Wieder and Travis White bring experience from U.S. Central Command's human dynamics program to their work with USF faculty and partners.

FROM A BETTER QUESTION
TO A CLEARER ASSESSMENT.
Analyst judgment connects every stage. Tools support the work; people shape the questions and evaluate the results.
STRUCTURE THE STUDY.
Consilium organizes stakeholders, groups, issues and scenarios into a structured analytical study and prepares inputs for Senturion Alpha. Consistent study structure makes assumptions easier to review and compare.
EXPLORE POSSIBLE OUTCOMES.
Senturion Alpha is an external analytical modeling platform. Analysts use prepared study inputs to examine modeled outcomes and compare scenarios, then assess results in the context of the study's assumptions and evidence.
TURN ANALYSIS INTO A PRODUCT.
HELM supports study framing, evidence synthesis and the Analyst Notebook. It brings model findings together with the wider evidence base to support clear analytical writing, including Flash Reports.
Consilium and HELM are developed by the INSIGHT Core Team at SAIL. Senturion Alpha is an external modeling platform.
RESEARCH MEETS DEVELOPMENT
TOOLS BUILT AROUND
THE ANALYST.
The INSIGHT Core Team develops applications that support the analytical process, from structuring a study to communicating its findings.
