Max & O'Neill

Not theory.
Twenty years
of field work.

Everything in the Brave Minds OS™ was developed and tested in real operations — not in classrooms or consulting offices. Afghanistan. Berlin. North Africa. Counterterrorism, recruitment, business intelligence, HUMINT collection.

The case of Sorin Damaschin — a PhD engineer with 23 patents who revealed classified aerospace R&D in a single conference conversation — isn't a hypothetical. It's documented. It's the kind of thing that happens every day to people who believe they're too intelligent to be elicited.

"It's not the weak who talk too much. Sometimes it's precisely the person who feels strong and comfortable in their expertise."

— O'Neill, Elicitation & HUMINT

This is why we built this. Not to create a generation of interrogators — but to ensure that the professionals sitting across the table from one are no longer caught off guard.

Elicitation

How a 23-Patent Aerospace Engineer Became the Perfect Elicitation Target

Dr. Sorin Damaschin had 20 years of experience, 23 patents, and no idea he was in the middle of a HUMINT operation. Here's exactly how it unfolded — and what he could have done differently.

Interrogation

The 4-Second Rule: Why Most Internal Investigations Fail Before They Begin

The brain decides whether you're a threat or an ally within the first four seconds. Most corporate investigators never consider this — and lose the interview before they ask a single question.

The Honey-Sweet Voice: Vocal Signals That Indicate Deception (And How to Spot Them)

The best liars sound the warmest. Exaggerated friendliness appears too well-calibrated — and vocal analysis reveals exactly when. A guide to reading what you hear, not just what you see.
