What is The Merrick Intelligence Group?

The Merrick Intelligence Group is a strategic advisement firm with two practices: OutSmart Opposition Strategies for strategy in high-stakes competitive situations, and InSight Individual Solutions for personal and family matters.

Who does The Merrick Intelligence Group Serve?

The opposition research and competitive strategy side of our practice serves businesses and political candidates, while the personal strategy side of our practice serves individuals, couples, and families. We welcome any individuals seeking clarity, honesty, and strategic advice.

What can you help me with?

We offer strategy-related services tailored to each client’s needs. Whether you’re an emerging business interested in gaining the upper hand against your competitors or an individual struggling after a big life change, The Merrick Intelligence Group has the knowledge, patience, and detail to help you develop a strategy that works with your reality.

Through OutSmart Opposition Strategies, we can assist with things such as:

• Identifying an opponent’s key vulnerabilities and patterns.
• Developing a comprehensive winning strategy.
• Preparing for high-stakes negotiations, debates, or legal challenges.

Through InSight Individual Solutions, we can assist with:

• Identifying the root cause of recurring problems or conflicts.
• Navigating difficult family, partner, or interpersonal dynamics.
• Making a major life or career decision with confidence.

How Do I know if The Merrick Intelligence Group is right for me?

Our consultancy is a good fit if you have a complex problem and require a deep, analytical approach. We may not be the right choice if you’re looking for a licensed therapist, a traditional life coach, a private investigator, or a firm to execute pre-determined tasks, although we offer adjacent services.

Are you private investigators?

The Merrick Intelligence Group is not a licensed private investigation firm and does not perform any services that require such licensure. Our work is strictly limited to strategic analysis and strategy development.

How is my confidentiality protected?

Confidentiality is our highest priority. All client engagements are protected by a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). As a single-advisor firm, your sensitive information is handled with the utmost discretion and is never shared with a wider team or third parties.

Why should I hire a solo advisor instead of a larger firm?

By hiring The Merrick Intelligence Group, you work directly with the principal, not a junior analyst. Our clients have exclusive access to a single point of contact for the entire partnership, absolute discretion, and a consistent, deep level of analysis that larger, layered teams often cannot provide.
