We provide professional intelligence-gathering services to alternative investment firms who value in-depth factual inquiry and analysis. Our client-driven work combines expert interviewing with deep research skills, and crosses industry sectors and national borders.
Our objective is to deliver actionable, real-time intelligence, tailored to each client’s particular needs as refined through frequent briefings during the course of our assignment.
Our results are intended to help clients form a “mosaic” from the disparate pieces of information we gather. From our briefings, clients glean insights, test their ideas and make sound investment decisions.
Finding and interviewing knowledgeable sources is a core part of our expertise. We begin by mining obscure data sources, including nontraditional overseas media and arcane public records that may not be readily accessible, but are nevertheless available to sophisticated researchers who know what to look for.
Our seasoned team of interviewers includes veteran journalists, former prosecutors and ex-CIA analysts. These experts build on our deep research with follow-up conversations and direct observations, in coordination with a network of local consultants and sources on the ground.
We have developed these methods over thousands of inquiries, and they have proven to be a reliable source of robust factual information regardless of geography or industry.
