Risk Assessment Briefings

Overview

TRACE Risk Assessment Briefings are structured investigative reports used to evaluate the ideological risk posed by individuals in education or youth-facing roles.
Each briefing is based on verified, open-source data and reviewed using standardized rubrics to ensure consistency, objectivity, and accountability.

  • Our analysts use Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to collect and archive public-facing material, including:

    Social media posts and engagement

    Protest involvement and public affiliations

    FOIA-obtained communications and official documents

    Visual materials (videos, signs, classroom content)

  • Every claim is supported by:

    Screenshots or captured media

    Archive links

    Timestamps and attribution

    Cross-referenced secondary sources

  • Collected material is analyzed against predefined risk categories using the TRACE scoring rubric (RISK™). When relevant, we consult:

    • Licensed mental health professionals

    • Child development experts

    • Education policy advisors
