We produce decision-ready analysis for governments, diplomatic institutions, and strategic investors navigating Middle Eastern complexity.

The noise is deafening. The signal is rare.

Thousands of news articles per day. Think tank papers weekly. Embassy cables monthly. Social media by the second. None of it is structured. None of it is graded. Almost none of it distinguishes between what is known, what is inferred, and what is speculated.

Core Group exists to cut through this.

Analytical production

The Dispatch (daily), The Estimate (weekly), Source File (event-driven), The Pillar (foundational). Five-layer analysis delivered on operational cycles.

Strategic advisory

Policy design, scenario planning, institutional frameworks, governance transitions. Analysis that leads to action under pressure.

Mediation & dialogue

Analysis-informed mediation. Discreet channels, conflict de-escalation, facilitation between stakeholders. The capability that makes Core Group unique.

Five layers. One methodology. Decision-ready.

Convergence methodology: five layers flowing through fusion engine into reports and dashboards

Convergence is our proprietary analytical framework. Five epistemically distinct layers. When they converge, confidence is high. When they diverge, the divergence itself is the analysis.
