Three phases. Five to seven days. One document that tells you what nobody else in the room will. Every investigation is different — but the structure that finds the truth is always the same.
Before we investigate anything, we sit down together. Face to face. Not in a boardroom — somewhere you can actually talk. You tell me what's happening, who's involved, and — most importantly — what doesn't feel right. The things you wouldn't say in front of your lawyers.
In two to three hours, I'll have a clear picture of the situation, the key players, and the threads worth pulling. That's when the real work begins.
Three to four days of focused intelligence work across the four domains that matter in every deal. This is where deals unravel — or get confirmed.
Who are the counterparties? Are they who they say they are? Do their claims check out? Are there undisclosed relationships, conflicts, or patterns that signal risk? This is where the most critical intelligence usually surfaces. People lie. Records don't.
Do the numbers support the story you've been told? Are there gaps, inconsistencies, or structures designed to hide something? Hidden liabilities, unusual related-party transactions, funding sources that don't add up — this is where deals start to unravel.
Is this deal built to survive? Are there terms that quietly favour one side? Missing protections nobody told you about? Clauses that create long-term risk you won't see until it's too late?
Are there regulatory requirements that haven't been addressed? Cross-border compliance gaps? Licensing or approval risks? Political factors that could derail everything after you've already committed?
No expensive databases. No black-box software. Open-source intelligence, public records, corporate registries, legal databases, and deep analytical research. The same methodology that works in intelligence and law enforcement — applied to your deal.
Not a slide deck. Not a memo. A clear intelligence document written in plain language for the person making the decision — not their legal team.
Delivered in person wherever possible. You walk through every finding with me directly.
A plain-language overview of what was found. Written for you, not for a filing cabinet.
Detailed findings across all four domains — People, Financial, Structural, and Regulatory/Political — ranked by severity and potential impact.
Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats specific to this deal and your position in it.
One of four clear outcomes that tells you exactly where you stand.
If you choose to proceed, specific steps you can take to protect yourself.
We don't tell you what to do. We tell you what's true. The decision is yours — but you'll make it with your eyes open. Want to see what this looks like in practice?
The three-phase structure keeps engagements fast, focused, and contained. But what happens inside each phase is entirely shaped by your situation. A founder selling their company gets a different investigation than a PE partner acquiring one.
For deals that cross borders, we offer a Cross-Border Readiness Lens — an additional module covering jurisdiction-specific risks including regulatory divergence, tax exposure, and political risk.
The question isn't whether your deal has exposure. It does. The question is whether you find it before you sign — or after. Book 15 minutes and find out.
