Insights

Research and analysis across the areas in which Reglonix works.

Reglonix Insights examines developments that may alter strategy, technology, security, regulation, markets and operations. Short notes, published when there is something worth saying.

9 notes

Cyber and Post-Quantum Security

Harvest now, decrypt later changes the retention question

If information must stay confidential for fifteen years, the relevant question is not whether the cryptography is sound today. It is whether the data is already sitting in someone else's archive.

Note

Intelligence and Geopolitics

Open source is not the same as unfiltered

The volume problem in open-source work is a collection-design problem. Most of what fails in OSINT fails at the requirement stage, before anyone has looked at a source.

Note

AI and Emerging Technology

When a small language model is the correct answer

Narrow task, controlled information environment, defined risk tolerance. Where all three hold, a smaller model is usually easier to govern and easier to defend.

Note

Aerospace and Defence

Supplier qualification is a programme decision, not a procurement formality

The cost of qualifying the wrong supplier is rarely visible in the purchase order. It appears later, in schedule.

Note

Operations and Quality

Root cause analysis fails when the system rewards closure

Corrective action systems that measure how quickly findings are closed will reliably produce findings that close quickly.

Note

Strategy and Organisations

Strategy that does not change the calendar has not been adopted

The test of whether a strategy has landed is not whether people can recite it. It is whether the planning cadence, the budget and the meeting agenda changed.

Note

Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals

Operating-model change usually arrives before the org chart does

By the time structure is being discussed, the interfaces have normally already moved. The chart is the last artefact to catch up.

Note

Intelligence and Geopolitics

Assessments should carry their confidence with them

A conclusion without a stated confidence level transfers the analyst's uncertainty to the reader without telling them it happened.

Note

AI and Emerging Technology

Governing AI starts with knowing what it is allowed to decide

Most AI governance failures are not model failures. They are unclear delegations of authority.

Note

Commission research rather than read it.

Where a question needs a structured answer rather than a note, that is an intelligence or diligence mandate. Tell us the decision it supports.
