Featured analysis

Recent intelligence briefings.

MERDOT publishes analysis on narrative warfare, influence operations and the evolving architecture of information environments · drawn from MIOS operational data and the broader intelligence research community.

Influence Operations01

The Architecture of Modern Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior

A technical breakdown of how coordinated influence operations structure their amplification networks, establish narrative seeding points and evade platform detection · with implications for institutional monitoring strategy.

MERDOT Research · 2025Request full brief
Electoral Intelligence02

Narrative Warfare in Multi-Phase Election Cycles: A South Asian Framework

Analysis of how disinformation campaigns structure their timelines across pre-election, campaign, election-day and post-result phases · and what monitoring infrastructure needs to exist at each stage.

MERDOT Research · 2025Request full brief
Crisis Communications03

The 90-Minute Window: Why Most Crisis Response Infrastructure Is Already Behind

Operational analysis of narrative escalation timelines across 50+ documented information crises · and the architecture requirements for a command center that can respond within the window that matters.

MERDOT Research · 2025Request full brief
Technology04

Why General-Purpose LLMs Are Not Intelligence Infrastructure

A technical assessment of the gap between general-purpose AI capabilities and the requirements of institutional intelligence analysis · including latency, hallucination risk, chain-of-custody and sovereignty constraints.

Research areas

What MERDOT studies.

Six standing research programs shape how MIOS is built · from information warfare and computational propaganda to multilingual NLP for India's linguistic diversity.

01

Information Warfare

State and non-state actor tactics in weaponizing narrative environments · from influence operations to strategic ambiguity campaigns.

02

Computational Propaganda

Automated amplification systems, bot network architectures and the evolving detection landscape for synthetic information behavior.

03

Crisis Narrative Dynamics

How narratives form, accelerate and stabilize during active crisis events · and the intervention windows available to communication teams.

04

Electoral Integrity

The information environment around democratic processes · from voter sentiment manipulation to post-result narrative disputes.

05

AI & Intelligence Systems

The intersection of large language models, multi-agent AI architectures and institutional intelligence workflows.

06

Multilingual NLP

Natural language processing for India's linguistic diversity · techniques for cross-language narrative tracking without quality degradation.

Documentation access is provisioned as part of institutional onboarding. Credentials, environments and integration support are scoped to your deployment. You start with output, not a blank page.

Credentialed by agreement

Getting-started, API and integration guides open the moment your deployment access is granted · security specifications remain under NDA.

Built for integration

REST endpoints, webhooks and Python or Node.js SDKs slot MIOS into command-center, SIEM and enterprise intelligence workflows.

Grounded in research

Every capability is informed by standing MERDOT research on narrative warfare, computational propaganda and crisis dynamics.
