Let's design the crisis your people should face.

What you are buying

Instruction. A designed exercise, run by us, with a structured debrief that maps what your people did against how decisions are actually made.

Every program is built around your people. The crisis is written or adapted to your region, your adversary, the seats in your room and the authorities those seats actually hold. Tailoring is how this is done.

The models come first. Participants study how decisions actually get made — fifteen models, rational actor through applied decision analysis — before anyone takes a seat. The crisis is where those models get tested.

Delivered in person, always. There is no online or remote version of the exercise. What we assess is how your people reason together under pressure — who defers, where the group converges, who stops contributing when the clock runs — and that is visible in a room and not on a video call. Consequences are adjudicated live from what your room actually does, which means being there while it does it.

Unclassified throughout, and that is deliberate. A classified room builds an information hierarchy that tracks rank, which reinforces the deference the instruction exists to expose. Unclassified, everyone holds the same facts and can check them — scenario content comes only from public sources. It also lets coalition, interagency and civilian participants sit in the same room as uniformed staff.

An AI advisor is in the exercise, and how your people use it is assessed. Two behaviors are recorded separately: cognitive offloading, handing the thinking to the advisor, and cognitive surrender, taking its answer without weighing it. A participant can do the first and still argue back; the second is the one the instruction exists to expose. That is the human-in-the-loop role being trained, and it is another reason the facilitator is in the room.

Before and after. The room answers the same questions before the exercise and again at the close. What comes back is where the cohort moved. Learning objectives are agreed with you at the start and reviewed against that record at the end.

No software is delivered, no license is granted, and nothing is installed on your systems. All performance is unclassified — no facility clearance, no DD Form 254, no network accreditation.

How it can be bought

Red Teaming Associates is an SBA-certified service-disabled veteran-owned small business, so a sole-source award is available to a contracting officer without competition, subject to that authority’s conditions. Every price on this page sits far below the dollar ceiling that section allows.

One item is built to sit on a government purchase card: the local all-inclusive half day at $14,500, travel included, nothing billed separately. The micro-purchase threshold tests the aggregate amount of the acquisition rather than a line item, so a separately billed travel line of any size would carry it over. Every other line is bought by purchase order.

That item is the card route for a returning customer. On a first engagement the standard half day is $13,500 at the first-engagement price, which leaves under $1,500 of room before the threshold and beats this item only if travel comes in under $1,000. Above that the all-inclusive item is both cheaper and the safer card buy. Whether a card purchase is possible at all also depends on the cardholder’s own delegated single purchase limit, which is set by the agency and is often below the threshold.

Where a command expects to run this more than once, a blanket purchase agreement under FAR 13.303 is the better route. It lets an ordering official pay by card against agreed terms well above the micro-purchase ceiling, and it removes the question of whether two separate buys were one requirement.
