Strategic Intelligence & Retail Risk Consulting | Blacklight Strategy

Blacklight Strategy is a specialized consulting firm delivering competitive intelligence, investigative program development, and retail risk expertise. We help solution providers outpace competitors and retailers protect profits with strategies proven in the field.

​

We work in three distinct arenas:

  • Retail‑Focused Solution Providers

  • Enterprise Retailer Protection

  • SHOP‑PROTECT for Independent Merchants

 

We turn complexity into clarity — and strategy into measurable results that endure.

SHOP‑PROTECT
Big‑Retail Know‑How, Built for Small Shops

Independent shop owners lose thousands each year to preventable risks like theft, fraud, and employee dishonesty. Big retailers have teams and playbooks—small shops usually don’t.

 

SHOP‑PROTECT closes that gap and for less than $1.50 a day, members gain:

  • Bi‑Monthly Risk Insights

  • Shop Checklists for the Four Pillars of Retail Crime (Shoplifting, Employee Theft, Fraud, ORC)

  • Monthly Peer Q&A Sessions

  • Founding Member Playbook & Tools

  • Access to Vetted Retail Protection Professionals

​

  • Competitive Intelligence (CI)

  • Market Strategy (MS)

  • Business Development

  • Retail Visibility

  • Thought Leadership

 

Retailers

  • Retail Investigations Program Development and Audit

  • ORC Program Development

  • Complex Criminal Investigations

  • Digital Fraud Mitigation / Applied Machine Learning

  • Unified Retail Platform Risk Management​
