The Narrative Defense Stack Win the Exchange Rate on a Lie.
A false claim takes seconds to make. The correction takes hours. The Narrative Defense Stack trains the defender's side of that exchange in one enrollment: ten on-demand courses built around Narrative Defense Under Brandolini's Law. PEOPINT and NARINT map the narrative and the people moving it. Critical Thinking and Strategic Source Evaluation decide what to believe and how far. Disinformation, Conspiracy Theories, Cialdini, and Dirty Tricks name the techniques you will face. The NATO PsyOps course and Cognitive Warfare Definitions set the doctrine and the vocabulary. Individual component value: $7,446. Bundled for $6,199 (savings of $1,247 / 17% off).
Payment Flexibility
One-Time $6,199, or 4 Monthly Payments of $1,549.75
The Narrative Defense Stack supports two payment paths at checkout: a single $6,199.00 transaction, or four monthly installments of $1,549.75 each (totaling $6,199). No financing application and no added cost. All 14 courses unlock on first payment.
Bundle Pricing Is Final
Discounts apply to individual courses only
The Narrative Defense Stack pricing already carries the bundle discount. Veteran, government, alumni, team, referral, and promotional discounts apply to individual courses only. They do not apply to The Narrative Defense Stack or to any other bundle, and discounts never combine. Questions: info@treadstone71.com.
Capability Outcomes
Answer the Narrative. Let Most Lies Earn Silence.
An analyst who answers every claim loses on cost, then loses the tempo. This stack produces a defender who works above the claim. Six core capability outcomes:
Operate Above the Claim
Answer the narrative that feeds a hundred lies instead of chasing each lie. Set a response threshold and decide which falsehoods earn silence.
Map the Narrative and Its Carriers
PEOPINT and NARINT: who moves the story, how unwitting participants carry it, and where the influence architecture sits.
Grade What You Believe
Admiralty Code source grading, multi-source corroboration, and deception markers. Bias defense applied before the assessment leaves your desk.
Name the Technique
Disinformation, conspiracy weaponization, Cialdini's seven principles, and the 44 Dirty Tricks. Recognition comes before response.
Prebunk Before the Wave
Inoculate audiences against the technique ahead of the next campaign, so the correction does not have to chase the lie.
Measure Belief Change
Speak with one voice and measure whether minds moved. Likes and shares prove nothing about effect.
14 Courses, One Enrollment
Bundle Components: Anchor, Detection, Verification, Adversary Technique, Doctrine, Behavioral Profiling
Individual prices shown for transparency. The bundle delivers all fourteen for $6,199 ($1,247 savings vs purchasing individually).
Refuting a lie costs an order of magnitude more than telling it. Twenty-one narrated lessons across seven sections on how defenders win anyway: operate above the claim, set thresholds, prebunk, speak with one voice, and measure belief change. A worksheet and a knowledge check in every lesson.
Human-centric intelligence and Narrative Intelligence: the Unwitting Participant doctrine, embedded subversion, the architecture of influence, and AI-driven social mapping, with Chinese, Russian, DPRK, and Iranian doctrine sections.
The bias catalog every influence operation exploits: confirmation, anchoring, availability, mirror imaging, framing. Reasoning under uncertainty and bias defense tradecraft.
Disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation, narrative manipulation, and an influence operations defense framework. Includes the Identity Fusion module on how adversaries weaponize group identity.
The Admiralty Code (STANAG 2511) calibrated for cyber-domain sources, multi-source corroboration, deception markers, and OSINT source evaluation where attribution is opaque.
The NATO doctrinal frame for cyber psyops. It separates authorized cognitive-warfare activity from adversary information operations and shows the tactics from the operator's side.
Conspiracy weaponization as a cognitive-warfare instrument: authentic belief versus run operation, division as the goal, amplification mechanics, and Russian and Chinese amplification of Western narratives.
Reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, authority, liking, scarcity, and unity. Seven levers a hostile narrative pulls, read from the defender's chair.
The 44-tactic catalog: pressure, mockery, false-front coalitions, target isolation, narrative inversion, projection, and escalation cycles. A defensive frame for the targeted organization.
The vocabulary for everything else in the stack: the cognitive domain as a space of competition, how people perceive and judge, and techno-social engineering.
How adversaries read and pressure a target: personality typing under stress, and the destructive modes influence operators look for and exploit.
The OCEAN model applied to the people behind a narrative campaign and the audiences it targets, so characterization rests on the most tested framework in personality research.
Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and the schadenfreude extension: the operator profile that so often sits behind hostile influence work.
Surveillance, infiltration, disruption, and discrediting, translated from the historical CoIntelPro frame into cyber, so defenders recognize a campaign being run against their organization.
Where The Narrative Defense Stack Fits
The AI-Infused Cognitive Stack teaches how state adversaries run influence operations. The Narrative Defense Stack teaches how to defend against them at a sustainable cost. Take them together for both sides of the fight.

Intelligence and CI analysts, strategic communicators, trust and safety teams, OSINT shops, and leaders who own an organization's response when a false narrative lands on it.
Yes. Narrative Defense Under Brandolini's Law earns up to 12 CPE hours of self-study credit and PEOPINT / NARINT about 35. The other eight courses carry CPE credit as well. Each course issues its own certificate of completion. Treadstone 71 is NICCS-listed and IAFIE-aligned.
The AI-Infused Cognitive Stack ($8,399, 18 courses) covers Russian, Chinese, and Iranian cognitive warfare doctrine and now includes the Brandolini course. The Narrative Defense Stack ($6,199, 14 courses) is built for the defender: detection, verification, technique recognition, and response at a cost you can sustain. Five courses appear in both.
Self-paced. All fourteen courses unlock on first payment and remain on-demand, so learners set their own pace around operational work.
Treadstone 71 is a woman-owned, veteran-led cyber intelligence firm operating since 2002, codifying intelligence tradecraft for the cyber domain. Its foundation rests on United States Air Force cryptologic linguistics (Arabic and Russian), United States Army armored reconnaissance, Middle Eastern and Russian studies, in-country time in Jeddah during 1988 and 1989, and a Master of Science in Information Assurance from Norwich University. From 2009 to 2014, Treadstone 71 built the first master's-level cyber intelligence curriculum, at Utica College. The Cyber Intel Training Center continues that curriculum: IAFIE-aligned, PHIA-standards-compliant, and listed in the CISA NICCS catalog.
