Treadstone 71 Launches The T71 Standard — A Six-Pillar Program Defining the Cognitive Warfare Discipline

The first deliverable lands September 15, 2026: The Adversary Index (TAI), a quarterly composite score ranking nation-state and major non-state adversaries across eight measured dimensions of cognitive and cyber posture.

TAI ships free at the point of access. Subscription tiers running from $25,000 to $250,000 per year provide sub-indices, monthly snapshots, and crisis flash updates.

“Cognitive warfare reporting has stayed anecdotal for a decade,” said the founder of Treadstone 71. “TAI changes the inputs. One number per adversary per quarter, against a published rubric, citable in press, Congressional testimony, and NATO briefings.”

The remaining five pillars launch in coordinated sequence across 12 months:

The Public Attribution Series (Q3 2026)
The Cognitive Warfare Threat Report Preview (Q4 2026)
The Decision Advantage Standard public draft (Q4 2026)
The Cognitive Warfare Operating System (2027 MVP)
The Embedded Cognitive Warfare Officer retainer service (Q4 2026 first lighthouse)
