Social Engineering & Phishing
Social engineering and phishing exploit human decision-making, trust, and workflow patterns, making context and evidence critical to defense.
Research that helps explain why information matters
Research is the foundation of AnnexVault’s evidence-governed approach to intelligence and decision support.
Through Groundhog Research Group, AnnexVault conducts applied research in behavioral science, evidence-bound and trustworthy AI, operational intelligence, and the cyber, geopolitical, organizational, and cultural factors that shape complex decision environments. This research helps decision makers understand not only what is happening, but why it matters, what evidence supports an assessment, and where uncertainty remains.
The knowledge gained through this work informs the design and evolution of AnnexVault technologies while supporting future research collaborations, technology demonstrations, and innovation initiatives that address government, enterprise, and academic challenges. Throughout this work, AnnexVault remains committed to transparency, explainability, and preserving human judgment in high-stakes decisions.
How Research Supports Decision-Making
Behavioral Science & Human Decision-Making
We study how individuals, groups, and organizations perceive information, make decisions under uncertainty, and respond to changing operational environments.
Evidence-Governed Intelligence & Operational Analytics
We research methods for transforming diverse information into transparent, explainable, and evidence-backed intelligence while preserving provenance, uncertainty, and analyst judgment.
Trustworthy AI & Human-AI Collaboration
We investigate evidence-bound AI, explainable AI, AI evaluation, and human-AI collaboration to strengthen decision support while preserving transparency, accountability, and human oversight.
Global Security & Emerging Threat Research
We study cyber threats, geopolitical developments, criminal and nation-state activity, and evolving operational environments to better understand emerging risks and their broader strategic context.
