The desk behind the brief.
You're reading a working analyst's desk, not a vendor's marketing page. We track bot-driven fraud in e-commerce and online travel, and how AI is reshaping both the attacks and the defenses — explaining mechanisms, naming sources, and stating what a piece hasn't covered rather than overclaiming what it has.
How the desk works
-
1
Research
Every piece starts from primary sources — vendor threat reports, security research, and trade coverage — gathered and logged before a word of the piece is drafted.
-
2
Verification
Claims and figures are checked against their original sources before anything moves forward — numbers carry their source and vintage, not just a citation.
-
3
Draft
The piece is written in the desk's voice — mechanism explained before it's named, distinctions made explicit, limits stated rather than hidden.
-
4
Publish
Published with a full Sources list attached. Corrections, when needed, are published — not silently patched.
