Due diligence and investigations in days, not weeks.

Our proprietary AI-assisted research system, directed and signed off by experienced analysts. The method behind our public dossiers, scaled to your decision and your budget.

What every report gives you

  • A recommendation. Proceed, proceed with conditions, escalate or decline, tied to the purpose you gave us.
  • The key findings, each with its source. Every record is archived when we read it, so you can check it yourself.
  • The uncertainties, stated. What we could not verify, what remains disputed, and how confident we are in each finding.
  • A report shaped by its purpose. General due diligence, an onboarding decision, a venture investment or a supplier check each puts a different question first, and so does our report.

Due diligence

more about this practice →

Checks on companies, groups of companies and the people who own and run them, from a 24-hour supplier check to multi-jurisdiction reviews for transactions. Each ends in a recommendation written for your decision.

typical questions

  • Who ultimately owns this company?
  • Is there undisclosed litigation, insolvency or regulatory history?
  • Are any owners or directors sanctioned or politically exposed?
  • Should we go ahead, and on what conditions?

Screening

more about this practice →

Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening of companies, their owners and directors, for onboarding and ongoing monitoring. Our system sets aside the clear false positives; an analyst confirms every remaining match before it reaches you.

typical questions

  • Does this company, or anyone who owns or runs it, match a list?
  • Has anything changed since we onboarded them?
  • Which of these alerts actually need a decision?
