The differences show up in the places an internal search cannot reach. Alias accounts traced back to the subject. Sources in other languages. Social media read and interpreted in context rather than flagged on keywords. Archived versions of websites that have since changed. The network of people and companies around the subject, and ownership traced past the first layer. The work is also anonymous and leaves no digital footprint behind, which an internal search cannot promise. It comes back as a written summation you can cite, rather than a folder of links.
Alias accounts are often where the useful material sits. A private or dormant main profile says nothing about the accounts a person keeps under another name, and those can frequently be traced back to them. Beyond that, much of what matters was never posted by the subject at all — commentary from former counterparties, forum and community threads, regional platforms outside the familiar handful, and archived versions of websites that have since changed.
It doesn’t end at the report. Ongoing monitoring is available on the leadership of companies you already hold, covering the same risk categories the report covers, watched continuously rather than revisited at exit. Findings are validated and evidenced before they reach you, high-risk items are escalated straight away rather than held for the next cycle, and you set the cadence per subject. Most investors start with a report on a single subject and add monitoring once the deal completes.
No. Assessment work tells you whether a team can execute the plan. We tell you who they are whether the track record is real, what their conduct and reputation look like, and what they haven’t disclosed.
Turnaround depends on the depth of the investigation and the jurisdictions involved, and we confirm it when we scope the work.
