Intelligence for decisions that matter.
We work with organisations facing complex strategic, investment, or policy questions — where the answer requires seeing through more lenses than any single team can hold. Our founders lead the analysis personally, using AI workflows they built and test in live client work. Deliverables arrive in days, not months.
Most engagements start with a question. Many evolve into capability transfer. Here's how the progression works.
Strategic Intelligence
You bring the question. We return governance-ready analysis — scenarios, systems maps, risk assessments, committee papers. Days to weeks, not months.
AI Capability Transfer
For teams that want to run the analysis themselves. We transfer the methodology, train your people, and leave. Methodology licence, activation sprint, or full capability programme.
Strategic Intelligence Briefing
Commissioned analysis for policy, regulatory, and strategic questions
You tell us the question. Anthea Roberts works with your team to frame the analytical approach, then Dragonfly runs the structured briefing workflow, and returns an interactive analysis your team can interrogate, challenge, and share. Typical turnaround is days to weeks, not months.
What you receive
An interactive analysis covering actors, drivers, systems maps, scenarios, and decision packages
Every reasoning step visible, every source traceable
Governance-ready output structured for boards, committees, and leadership teams
Sprint alongside us
Available as an embedded sprint where your team works alongside ours — you get the deliverable and first-hand exposure to how AI-native intelligence production works.

“I’d used AI quite a lot but I had never seen a tool like Dragonfly before. It gave me something concrete I could show, adapt and use.”

Investment Systems Mapping
Portfolio and allocation analysis for institutional investors
The same commissioned-analysis model, applied to investment questions. Sue Brake leads the engagement. The methodology maps how macro drivers interact, builds divergent scenarios, and stress-tests the portfolio against each one. Designed for CIOs, boards, and investment committees.
What you receive
Scenario-based portfolio analysis instead of single-case forecasting
A systems map of how drivers interact — feedback loops, tipping points, cascading effects
Signposts, triggers, and a governance-ready investment committee paper
Sprint alongside us
Available as an embedded sprint where your investment team works alongside ours — hands-on exposure to the methodology as it runs on your actual portfolio questions.

Beyond Commissioned Intelligence
Access the platform or build the capability yourself.
Organisations need to understand and customise the intelligence they wield — and build the AI capabilities to do so. There are two paths forward.
Access the platform
Use the Dragonfly platform directly — 15+ agents, 80+ structured analytical skills, interactive outputs structured for boards and committees. Available as cloud or sovereign desktop deployment.
Explore the platformBuild internal capability
RecommendedMost organisations discover that the barrier to AI-native work isn't the technology — it's the methodology and the human capability to direct it. We transfer both. Your organisation ends up more capable, not more dependent.

Methodology licence
Full access to the Dragonfly analytical methodology — your team can use, modify, and extend it in your own environment. Model-agnostic, no vendor lock-in.
Activation sprint
Apply the methodology to a live strategic challenge with Dragonfly leading and your team embedded from day one.
Capability programme
Structured development over 8 weeks: Use → Adapt → Build. Your team ends up conducting their own analyses, not waiting for ours.
“Dragonfly expanded the depth of my research by at least 3x and cut discovery time from weeks to days. More importantly, it changed the way I worked and thought.”
Eric Nguyen, Digital Strategist & Executive Committee Member, Australian Computer Society
How engagements evolve
From “do it for me” to “teach me to do it.”
Most organisations start by commissioning a specific analysis. The progression from there is natural — each step builds on the one before.
Commission
We run the analysis. You receive governance-ready intelligence.
Sprint alongside
We run the analysis with your team embedded. You get the deliverable and first-hand exposure.
Methodology licence
Your team gets the analytical workflows to run in your own environment. We train and support.
Full capability
Your team conducts their own analyses. More capable, not more dependent.
