This page lists what technologies (workshop upgrades, items drops, manufacturing blueprints, trade contracts, compounds) are unlocked by what campaign events.

You might be able to obtain some of the items earlier by hiring/capturing agents or rescuing informers.

Workshop upgrades that allow to wear extra disguise might be inaccurate as it seems to be depended on level difficulty - on easy maximum number of disguises is 4, but on medium - 3.
