There are two key components to our system:
- a generic framework of 6 psychological attack surfaces for target individuals and groups
- a set of Deception Gambits to help planners analyse and design deceptive activity.
The Artifice System is a set of models and tools designed to specifically support psychological combat in an adversarial context. When you are facing an adversary or competitor it provides you with a means to:
- analyse and operationalise your mission goal and determine the desired target behaviour change in your target
- identify how you will assess whether your actions have worked
- conduct target audience analysis to identify vulnerabilities that can be exploited to bring about behaviour change in your target
- establish whether deception and covert influence is a necessary, legal, proportionate, and ethical means for achieving your operational goals
- plan your operational activity and present your ideas in an intellectually robust format
- graphically represent your plans to support the communication of your deceptive intent to others
- execute your plan within a broader operational context.
