Authorities, solicitors, boards and private individuals instruct different work for different reasons. What does not change is how a finding gets onto the page: sourced, graded, corroborated or marked as not corroborated, and signed by a named assessor.
A counterparty verification, three weeks out from completion, played back stage by stage — including the two stages most reports never show you: where a claim got downgraded, and where the draft was blocked for overstating itself.
A corporate client is three weeks from completing on an acquisition and wants the counterparty's declared position tested. The instruction is recorded as a question with a scope, a lawful basis and a retention period attached.
Each line carries its own constraint. Those are set out here rather than buried in terms, because the constraint is the reason the output is usable.
Establishing who a person actually is: identity, address history, corporate roles, litigation and insolvency record, sanctions and PEP exposure, adverse media, and the associations that matter.
Open sources, public registers and lawfully licensed data only. A recorded lawful basis exists before the first query runs.
A named subject, entity or premises kept under review after the first report. Register changes, filings, charges, insolvency events, adverse media and imagery changes are re-checked on a schedule and only the deltas are reported.
Monitoring is of public record and open sources. No surveillance, no tracking of a person's movements, no covert approach.
Following ownership through holding layers, corporate officers, property titles and registered charges to establish what a subject controls and what has moved, and when it moved relative to the disputed event.
Work product is privileged where instructed through solicitors. Nothing leaves the platform until a named assessor signs it.
Locating and verifying a premises: title register and plan, filing history, occupancy, approach and access, and current imagery compared against what the paperwork claims.
Imagery is lawfully obtained aerial and street-level material. No trespass, no covert observation, no imagery of a private interior.
Verification before a decision is made — a hire into a sensitive post, a joint venture, a large transaction, a person about to be trusted with access or money.
The subject's data-protection rights apply in full. Proportionality is assessed and recorded before collection, and the retention clock starts at the first row.
Assessing a site, an event or a person against a defined threat picture, and stating what would materially reduce the risk. Written to the standard a duty-holder has to evidence.
Built from open-source threat reporting and published guidance. No classified threat material informs any assessment.
Reviewing access, credential and event data the instructing organisation already holds, looking for patterns that do not fit the declared role — and testing the innocent explanation first.
The organisation's own data, provided under instruction. Employees retain their rights; findings are hypotheses for the client to act on, not accusations.
Imagery is not decoration on a report. It is the check on the paperwork — and the gap between the two is usually the finding worth reporting.

Schematic plan views shown. All subjects, addresses, references and imagery on this site are synthetic — no real property, person, case or instructing party is depicted.
No instruction is accepted that requires access to police, government, military or classified systems, covert surveillance of a person, pretexting, interception, or obtaining data by deception. These are declined at intake and the decline is recorded against the enquiry.
Where a lawful route to the same answer exists, it is offered. Where it does not, the client is told the question cannot be answered rather than sold an answer that will not survive contact with a court or a regulator.
