FOUNDER / JOSEPH BRADLEY WATKINS
Four things, rarely in one person.
Trihelix exists because its founder spent a decade assembling the tradecraft of the geospatial intelligence community, the location technology to measure presence inside it, a commercial record earned in that market, and formal training in persuasion.
In 2016 he was assigned project sales lead for Trajectory, the official publication of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation. Rather than learn the community secondhand, he went to the source and asked USGIF's then-CEO to teach him the tradecraft directly.
On September 11, 2019, Trihelix became USGIF's exclusive advertising curation partner. In May 2026 he graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florida with a BS in Advertising: Persuasive Messaging, having run the company throughout.
Refraction reads observed behavior instead of asking people to report it themselves. That standard explains the product.
