70%
More than 70% of defense startups fail within 3 years.
And most don’t fail because of tech. They fail because no one tested them before it mattered.
We start by assessing not just the product, but the people behind it.What’s their mindset? What’s the mission? What assumptions could kill the idea?
Founder Diagnostic: Stress, clarity, leadership under pressure — we identify red flags early.
Product Intelligence Intake: Tech specs, use case, intended mission environment, we map risks to reality.
Operational Context Mapping: Terrain, user type, threat environment, we recreate the battlefield around the product.
Our engineers and operator network work together to create realistic, threat-based scenarios that reflect actual mission conditions. Then, we break the system under simulated pressure.
Custom Red Team Scenario Design: Urban warfare, GPS denial, swarm attacks, ISR disruption, tailored to your tech.
Agentic AI Simulation: AI models enemy tactics, threat escalation, and product fragility across edge cases.
Live Operator Review: Real specialists inject additional layers of insight, behavior, and failure analysis.
We deliver a complete fragility report, risk matrix, and recommended mitigation. If needed, we embed an expert in your team to help you adapt, iterate, and rebuild from inside.
Fragility Report & Tactical Score: A breakdown of where, when, and how your system fails.
Red Flag Matrix: Severity, likelihood, and recommended action, signed off by real operators.
Embedded Expert Option: We can deploy a RedForge operator inside your team for 30–90 days to help build real resilience.
