Strategic Boycott Methodology

The efficacy of our campaign hinges on the quality of our research and intelligence. We employ a systematic methodology for identifying and prioritising corporate targets.

Key Principles

  • Strategic Stigmatisation — Transform complicity into corporate governance risk
  • Persuasion, Not Coercion — Credible research for independent decisions
  • Intelligence-First — Rigorous research drives all targeting decisions
  • Business Focus — More than 80% of economic leverage is in business to business (B2B) transactions
  • Focus on Strategic Vulnerability — Target companies where we are most likely to make an impact
  • Effectiveness Over Purity — Strategic leverage, not immediate disengagement

An Intelligence Led Approach

Our campaign follows an intelligence-led approach engineered for measurable outcomes. Each phase builds on the previous, creating a systematic process for identifying, engaging, and influencing corporate decision-makers.

1

Phase 1 · Identify & Research

Map critical economic sectors, pinpoint high-leverage companies, and profile procurement and investment decision-makers.

2

Phase 2 · Recruit & Organise

Build an expert bench across law, procurement, finance, and industry to engage with authority and credibility.

3

Phase 3 · Engage & Communicate

Deliver evidence-backed dossiers and targeted B2B messaging that reframe complicity as material business risk.

4

Phase 4 · Report & Refine

Track outcomes, loop intelligence back into the targeting matrix, and iterate for maximum impact.

Continuous improvement: Intelligence gathered in Phase 4 feeds back into Phase 1, creating an iterative cycle that sharpens our targeting over time.

Our theory of change is centred on the strategic stigmatisation of complicity. By researching and documenting corporate ties to Israeli operations, we transform the issue from a moral appeal into a matter of corporate governance, fiduciary duty, and material risk management.

Persuasion, Not Coercion

We provide credible, well-researched information to individual companies, urging them to make independent decisions based on their own human rights policies and risk assessments.

Centralised Intelligence Hub

We operate as a research and advocacy hub that engages with corporate targets on a bilateral basis; researching, producing, and disseminating intelligence to drive independent divestment decisions.

Targeting Strategy

We believe in a comprehensive approach that utilises every available lever of influence.

Targeting Consumer Brands

Broad Awareness

We fully support mass mobilisation of consumers. When thousands boycott a brand, it creates reputational risk and builds the political will for change. We encourage participation in the BDS movement.

Targeting Business Professionals

Surgical Pressure

This is where we focus. More than 80% of economic leverage exists in B2B and government contracts. These relationships are reconsidered in boardrooms based on risk assessments, legal compliance, and fiduciary duty.

Not every identified company warrants equal attention, we prioritise those companies who we have the greatest chance of making an impact, this might mean our campaign does not focus on the obvious targets but focus on important but more vulnerable companies. To do this, we employ a matrix scoring model to focus our resources on targets where pressure is most likely to yield strategic impact.

Key insight: Prioritisation is based not just on complicity, but also on vulnerability to pressure. This is why an Israeli company may be a lower campaign priority than a non-Israeli company that works with them; the latter is often more susceptible to reputational pressure, ESG concerns, and stakeholder activism.

Matrix Model

Our method assesses every target along two strategic dimensions, producing four categories (each scored out of 10):

Severity

How harmful is the target?

  • Strategic Importance — Vitality to Israel's economy/military
  • Complicity Level — Direct involvement in Israel's illegal occupation

Formula: (Strategic Importance + Effective Complicity) / 2

Strategic Vulnerability

How weak is the target?

  • Reputational Sensitivity — ESG/brand risk exposure
  • Structural Flexibility — Ease of disengagement

Formula: (Reputational Sensitivity + Structural Flexibility) / 2

The Four Categories

CHALLENGING

High severity + Low vulnerability

Long-term divestment pressure

PRIORITY TARGET

High severity + High vulnerability

Headline campaigns with high ROI

MONITORING

Lower severity + Low vulnerability

Watch list, gather intel

TARGET

Lower severity + High vulnerability

Momentum builders that fold quickly

Evidence-Driven Approach

All research must meet rigorous evidence standards. We confirm through multiple authoritative sources: SEC filings, official statements, NGO investigations (Who Profits, AFSC [American Friends Service Committee] Investigate), UN databases, and credible investigative journalism.

The landscape of corporate complicity is constantly shifting. To remain effective, our methodology is iterative—we refine our scoring based on:

  • 1. New Economic Data — As market dependencies shift.
  • 2. Campaign Effectiveness — We analyse which tactics work best and adjust our vulnerability weights accordingly.
  • 3. Insider Intelligence — Verified reports from workers on the ground.

We do not rely on outdated lists. When the facts change, our strategy adapts.

Classification & Relationship Tracking

Our intelligence system now tracks companies across multiple dimensions to enable precise targeting:

Company Type

Primary Classification

  • Israeli HQ — Blanket approach
  • Non-Israeli with ties — Relationship-based
Pressure Route

How Pressure is Applied

  • Consumer — Direct boycott
  • Business — B2B procurement
  • Government — Public contracts
Leverage Type

What Creates Leverage

  • Finance — Investment/divestment
  • Supply chain — Procurement
  • Infrastructure — Critical systems

Relationship Types

We track corporate-Israel connections with precision, distinguishing between:

Operates in Israel
HQ, offices, R&D, manufacturing
Sells to Israel
Customers, sales to Israeli firms
Buys from Israel
Procurement from Israeli suppliers
Partners with Israel
Joint ventures, alliances
Invests in Israel
Equity, VC, funds
Services Israeli State
Government, military contracts
Licences Israeli Tech
Software, patents, IP
Logistics & Trade
Shipping, freight, finance
Defence & Security
Military, surveillance, dual-use
Settlement Links
Illegal settlement ties

Surgical Pressure: Effectiveness Over Purity

In a globalised economy, total disengagement from every company with tertiary links to Israel is technically complex and, for many, practically impossible. This reality is not a barrier to action; it is a reason for strategy.

We do not ask for impossible purity. We ask for strategic leverage.

Complicity vs Pragmatism

We often hear: "How can I fight this if I still use a product from a complicit tech giant?"

Our answer is simple: We use the tools we have to dismantle the systems we oppose.

There is no contradiction in using a platform to organise against its own unethical practices. We focus on what is effective—identifying the specific levers within our industries that can force divestment where it hurts the war economy most.

Our campaign focuses on identifying the specific commercial arteries where intervention will cause the most significant economic disruption. We recognise that while we cannot stop using every service overnight, we can all use our professional and personal influence to target the specific contracts that matter most.

We are not judging your personal consumption; we are arming you with the intelligence to make your professional influence count.
