Every report includes an executive summary with risk classification, entity snapshot, detailed findings organized by domain, a consolidated risk assessment with quantitative scoring, an information gap register, and a categorized source index. Tier 2 and Tier 3 reports additionally include entity relationship maps, network visualizations, and strategic recommendations.

Findings are organized into three confidence tiers: High Confidence (corroborated by multiple independent primary sources), Medium Confidence (supported by reputable secondary sources), and Low Confidence (single-source or uncorroborated). This transparency lets you assess the reliability of each finding independently.

Every report includes a categorized source index listing all sources consulted during the investigation. Sources are organized by type — corporate registries, regulatory databases, media archives, industry sources, digital sources, and open web — with access dates and relevance notes.

Yes. Tier 1 reports include a Corporate Relationship Tree. Tier 2 reports add a Corporate Network map and Persons Affiliation map (3 total). Tier 3 reports include 6 visual exhibits: Relationship Tree, Corporate Network, Persons Affiliation, Organization Structure, Cyber & Web Presence, and Jurisdictional Footprint. All visuals are rendered in 16:9 widescreen format.

Every factual claim carries an inline citation to its source. We clearly document information gaps and confidence levels so you can assess reliability. OSINT investigations are inherently limited by source availability, and we are transparent about those limitations.

Yes. Each order includes a message thread where you can communicate with our team. For additional investigation beyond the original scope, a follow-up order may be required.

Reports are delivered directly to your dashboard. You'll receive a notification when your report is ready. Reports can be viewed online, downloaded as PDF, or shared via secure links.

Yes. You can generate secure share links from your dashboard. Share links support optional password protection, email domain restrictions, IP access controls, view count limits, and expiry dates. Every view is logged in an audit trail.

Reports remain accessible in your dashboard indefinitely. Download links are active for 30 days after delivery. You can regenerate download links at any time from your dashboard.

You can enable watermarking when creating share links. Watermarked reports display a subtle overlay with the viewer's information, and copy protection can be enabled to discourage unauthorized redistribution.

We draw from a comprehensive range of open and proprietary intelligence sources including corporate registries, regulatory filings, court records, sanctions databases, financial disclosures, media archives, industry databases, and digital footprint analysis. The specific sources consulted depend on the target entity's jurisdiction and industry.

We maintain a curated registry of 5,752 sources across 130+ jurisdictions worldwide. Coverage depth varies by jurisdiction — major commercial centers have the deepest source access, while some jurisdictions may have limited public records availability, which we document in the information gap register.

Tier 2 and Tier 3 reports include quantitative risk scoring across multiple domains (financial integrity, legal exposure, regulatory risk, reputational risk, operational risk). Each domain receives a score from 1–10 based on the severity and confidence of findings, with a composite risk classification of Low, Medium, High, or Critical.

We document all information gaps with a scope-of-search attestation explaining what was searched and what was not found. Negative findings are as important as positive ones — knowing that no adverse information exists in a particular domain is itself a valuable data point.

We use a combination of automated intelligence gathering and structured analytical frameworks. All findings undergo quality review before delivery. Our reports are not AI-generated summaries — they are structured intelligence products with cited sources and confidence assessments.

Every report goes through a multi-stage quality process: automated source validation, structural completeness checks against tier requirements, citation density verification, and a final review pass. Reports that do not meet our quality thresholds are flagged for revision before delivery.

Yes. When placing an order, you can specify priority areas or particular concerns in the additional context field. For example, you might ask us to focus on regulatory history, ownership opacity, or political connections. Custom investigations (Tier Custom) allow fully tailored scope definitions.

Each tier increases in depth, breadth, and turnaround. Tier 1 (Screening) covers 10 tracks and 102 research items for rapid risk identification, with 1 visual exhibit. Tier 2 (Standard) adds 15 tracks and 152 items with ownership structure analysis, market analysis, and 3 visual exhibits. Tier 3 (Enhanced) provides 25 tracks and 252 items including AML indicators, political exposure, cyber threat assessment, and 6 visual exhibits.
