Our methodology
Open-source intelligence turns large volumes of public information into a short, relevant result. The skill lies in search design, triage and identity matching rather than volume.
Adverse media is assessed for source quality and context, and allegations are reported as allegations, never as established fact.

Each item is weighed by the reliability of its source.
