Traceable sources
Prioritise original records, official publications and direct documentation where available. Include source references and relevant dates in the agreed deliverable.
Research standards
Useful conclusions need
visible evidence.
We aim to make the basis of the work clear: what is supported, what is inferred and what still needs to be established.
How findings are formed
The source matters as much as the summary.
Claims kept separate from facts
A statement on a company website is a company claim. Corroboration is sought for material points; lack of corroboration is made visible.
Uncertainty made explicit
Distinguish supported findings, analytical inferences, conflicting evidence and unknowns. An absence of public adverse information is not proof of no risk.
AI with human review
Use AI to assist suitable research tasks. Check material outputs against underlying sources; do not cite generated answers as evidence.
Access and confidentiality
Use public information and documents the client is authorised to share. Agree handling before using confidential material with external AI tools or specialist providers.
Proportionate escalation
Identify where a qualified professional, direct confirmation, sample testing or on-site work is needed. Scope those steps separately.
Worldwide, with local differences
Remote does not mean every answer is accessible.
Records may be incomplete, outdated, paywalled or unavailable. Language, jurisdiction and the cooperation of counterparties affect what can be established. We assess those constraints before committing to a scope.
We do not promise unrestricted database access, certification, exhaustive investigations or guaranteed outcomes.
