The situation
Open sources contain reliable information alongside errors, repetition and deliberately shaped accounts. A collection of screenshots does not show which sources repeat the same claim or which questions remain unanswered.
Service
Verify the information.Understand the connections.
We examine people, companies and events through open sources, including registers, websites and other available material. For businesses and law firms, we assess reliability, connections and relevance to a specific matter.
When to involve us
- You need to assess a person, company or event using available sources.
- Published information may be incomplete or deliberately misleading.
- Material from registers, websites and media needs verification.
- Open-source research will inform or supplement other work.
What we examine
The scope follows the question and the material available.
- Identities and name variants in open sources
- Connections between people, companies, addresses and events
- Chronologies and their consistency with other material
- Digital exposure visible in open sources
- Repeated claims, disinformation and distortions
How we work
Select sources
We define the question, likely sources and the limits of open-source research.
Record provenance
We record where and when information was obtained and the context in which it appeared.
Verify
We compare copies with original material and accounts with register entries. The absence of an expected trace is an observation requiring context, not automatic confirmation.
Assess relevance
We distinguish confirmed findings, unverified information and hypotheses, and state confidence levels.
What you receive
An assessment of open-source findings, hypotheses and information gaps, with traceable sources and an explanation of how the material may inform a decision.
We agree the form of the deliverable and the scope of recommendations before work begins. The outcome includes limitations and questions that remain unresolved.
