Writers build careers on accuracy. One wrong fact, one unverified claim, one misattributed quote — and your credibility takes damage that's hard to repair. This service teaches you how to use AI tools and open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques to research faster, verify sources, and analyze data with confidence.
You'll learn practical methods I developed through 20,000+ AI prompts and three decades of professional work spanning investigative journalism, federal cybersecurity consulting, and AI architecture. This isn't theory. It's a working system.
What you'll gain:
How to use AI for deep research without getting hallucinated nonsense back
- OSINT techniques for verifying people, organizations, claims, and documents
- Data analysis methods that turn raw information into usable insights
- A verification workflow based on "Zero Trust" principles — assume nothing, verify everything
- Prompt engineering strategies that get precise, sourced answer
Who this is for:
Nonfiction writers, journalists, memoirists, biographers, and novelists who write research-heavy fiction. If your work depends on getting the facts right, these skills will serve every project you take on.
Background:
I hold a Master's in Cybersecurity Risk and Strategy from NYU, worked as Lead Technologist at Booz Allen Hamilton advising DHS on strategic communictions for supply chain risk management, and have published with The Washington Post, United Features Syndicate, and Penguin. I've been deep in AI tools since 2022 and now teach writers how to use them to leverage the data lakes of information in the world.
