AKE’s analysis team brings together regional, linguistic, and subject-matter specialists.
Drawing on deep local knowledge, our analysts monitor and assess a wide range of open sources to provide timely insights into emerging threats and trends.
With team members based around the world and extensive on-the-ground networks, we access critical information directly from the source.
This local perspective enhances the accuracy and relevance of our reporting.
Our analysis is supported by Global Intake, AKE’s proprietary risk platform, which integrates our own research with incident data from ACLED.
With over 40,000 incidents recorded weekly, we’re able to track trends at a highly granular level to support evidence-based decision-making.
For security-focused reports, our analysts work closely with AKE’s operations specialists – experts with hands-on experience in challenging environments.
This collaboration ensures that our pre-deployment reports are not only analytically sound, but also include practical mitigation advice that covers all aspects of security and safety.
