Political Campaigns
Local and state-level candidates who need to challenge an incumbent or gain an advantage in a highly competitive race.
Businesses & Startups
Companies facing a dominant competitor in the marketplace, needing to identify and leverage strategic opportunities that others have missed.
Individuals in High-Stakes Negotiations

OutSmart Services
We offer a suite of services designed to take you from zero to hero with a clear, practical path to victory.
1
Opposition Audit
An exhaustive deep-dive into your opposition, analyzing their public history, network, patterns of behavior, and psychological drivers. You receive a comprehensive “Oppo Book” that provides a complete, 360-degree picture of their strengths and vulnerabilities.
2
Strategic Blueprint
We work with you to translate the findings from the Audit into a direct and achievable victory plan. This includes identifying key points of leverage, anticipating your opponent’s likely moves, and developing a proactive strategy to control the narrative.
3
Red Team Retainer
For the duration of an active campaign or negotiation, we serve as your ongoing strategic counsel. We act as a sparring partner to prepare you for debates and negotiations, provide immediate counsel during a crisis, and adapt the strategy in real-time as the competitive landscape evolves.
Merrick Intelligence Toolkit
We utilize a proprietary toolkit designed to provide a complete, multi-dimensional picture of any competitive landscape.
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)
We systematically gather and collate publicly available data to build a comprehensive, fact-based profile of any entity. This includes a deep dive into voting records, financial disclosures, court documents, corporate filings, and extensive media archives.
Systemic Pattern Recognition
We don’t just see individual actions; we map the recurring patterns in an opponent’s behavior, strategic decisions, and public statements. By connecting dots that others miss, we can anticipate their likely next moves with a high degree of accuracy.
Psychological & Behavioral Analysis
Based purely on public actions and statements, we build a predictive model of an opponent’s operational style, their triggers, and their likely reactions under pressure. This psychological insight allows us to craft strategies that can preemptively neutralize their strengths and leverage their inherent weaknesses.
