Retelnist is the cognitive intelligence platform that pairs DISARM-aligned detection of coordinated information operations with continuous measurement of their actual effect on your target population — so you know when a coordinated push is noise, and when it's a national security event.
Methodology aligned with the DISARM Framework, EEAS FIMI taxonomy, and NATO ACT cognitive superiority doctrine.
The gap
Detection tools tell you a coordinated operation is happening. That's necessary — and it's not enough.
The adversary doesn't run operations to be seen. They run operations to shift what populations believe, doubt, and decide. An operation that doesn't move the needle is noise. One that does is a national security event.
Today's platforms answer the first question. Retelnist answers both.
DISARM-aligned narrative monitoring across 7 platforms. Coordination signals: synchronized posting, content cloning, URL co-amplification, bot velocity. Every retelling tagged against DISARM Red Framework v2.
V(x,t) score — a continuous measurement of how belief is moving against organic baseline. Frequency. Sentiment polarity. Identity coupling. Amplification asymmetry. When the retellers push, you see the needle move — or you see that it didn't.
Cognitive Warfare Presence Index combines both layers with statistical lag analysis. Reported with 95% confidence intervals. Bootstrap resampling. Every number carries its uncertainty.
Who uses Retelnist
You don't need to know whether Russian operators are pushing "Western support is weakening" — they are. You need to know whether the retelling is working this week, in which regions, against which narratives, when the shift began. Weekly briefs in EEAS-FIMI format, ready for your director's desk.
You operate inside doctrinal frameworks. You need tools that report in your language with auditable methodology and reproducible results. Retelnist exports DISARM-tagged threat briefs, STIX 2.1 bundles for FIMI ISAC sharing, and statistical reports your analysts can defend.
You see dozens of suspicious retellings a week. You can't afford Graphika or Logically. You need a tool that respects your funders' standards — DISARM-compliant, EU data sovereignty, transparent methodology, exportable. Analysts can manually correct AI suggestions.
One retelling, traced end to end
Illustrative scenario from active monitoring. Every number Retelnist reports carries its uncertainty, and the methodology is documented to the level your procurement team can defend.
Layer A detects 47 accounts coordinated within a 72-hour window pushing variants of "Mobilization is unjust — rich buy out, poor die."
Signal
DISARM: T0049 (Flood), T0048 (Harass), T0091 (Recruit Bad Actors)
Layer B shows V-shift of +2.3σ on proposition P-UA-12 ("Mobilization is unjust"), with identity coupling spike on the marker "fear of ТЦК."
Signal
Belief-shift confirmed on target proposition
18-hour lag between Layer A peak and Layer B shift. Permutation test: p < 0.01. The retelling is causing the shift, not just co-occurring.
Signal
Statistical causal link established
Confirmed cognitive operation with measurable impact. Brief auto-generated in EEAS-FIMI format. Counter-narrative team notified.
Signal
95% CI · bootstrap resampled
A calibrated training scenario on this exact retelling pattern is published into the inoculation module. Same propositions re-measured weeks later in trained vs untrained cohorts.

The closed loop. A platform that only detects gives you reports. A platform that only trains gives you hope. Retelnist pairs them — as a measurement system. Detect the retelling. Train the population on the technique. Re-measure the V-shift. You get statistical evidence that your program is building resistance, not just running courses.
Honest positioning
Retelnist is not the biggest platform. Graphika has more analysts. Logically has more contracts. Blackbird has US Government scale. If you need 200 reference clients, Retelnist is not yet that vendor.
They have
Know that an operation is happening. Essential — not sufficient.
Retelnist adds
Know whether the retelling is working. The only platform that answers both questions.

What "Retelnist" means
Retelnist is a transliteration of the Ukrainian word reTELnist (ret-EL-nist) — diligence, thoroughness, conscientious rigor. It's the professional virtue of analysts who refuse to call something an operation until the data proves it.
In Polish — the language of a meaningful share of our buyer community — the cognate rzetelność carries the same meaning: reliability, integrity, accuracy.
In English, the name reads as "the one who watches the retellers" — and that is exactly what the platform does. Adversaries retell. Retelnist measures the retelling, and publishes what it finds with confidence intervals attached.
Retelnist — narrative integrity, with rigor.
What you can verify
Why not everything is open
A cognitive intelligence platform has two failure modes. Publish all weights, and the adversary trains against your methodology. Publish nothing, and you become a black box no procurement officer can defend. Everything that can be open without arming the adversary, is open. Everything else is documented under NDA, in detail, for verified buyers.

Questions
A continuous measurement of how a tracked proposition is moving against organic baseline. It combines frequency, sentiment polarity, identity coupling, amplification asymmetry, and rate of change. Every reported value carries a 95% confidence interval from bootstrap resampling (N=1000).
The Cognitive Warfare Presence Index is a single number combining Layer A (behavioral activity) and Layer B (belief shift) with statistical lag analysis between them. It answers one question: Is this a coordinated operation that is actually working — or noise?
We model the lag between Layer A peak activity and Layer B belief shift. Permutation tests establish whether the behavioral push is causing the shift (not just co-occurring). A p < 0.01 threshold is required before we call a confirmed cognitive operation.
Infrastructure runs on Hetzner Helsinki and Scaleway Paris. On-premises deployment is available for sovereign government clients. We are GDPR-compliant and provide data processing transparency documentation on request.
Built on Talantir, our scenario-based behavioral simulation engine, anchored in inoculation theory (McGuire 1961; van der Linden & Roozenbeek 2020). Scenarios are sourced from real DISARM-tagged retellings Retelnist observed targeting your population in the last 90 days, anonymized and ethically reviewed.
Retelnist's work has operational sensitivity. We protect both our methodology and the operational privacy of current pilot partners. Every demo request is verified against organizational domain or existing referral. The 45-minute discovery call is with our methodology lead, not sales.
DISARM Red Framework v2, the taxonomy adopted by EEAS, NATO StratCom CoE, and the FIMI ISAC. Tagging rules are published and auditable per-tag. LLM-assisted classification carries explicit confidence scores.
The methodology is co-owned by Hlib [Surname], cognitive security researcher and professor in Ukraine with multi-decade work on Russian information operations doctrine. The platform is built by Andrii [Surname], founder of Talan.Tech, running parallel ventures in counter-UAS defense and behavioral simulation.
