Custom Missions

Bring us an objective that calls for several lines of enquiry or a tailored response. We agree the scope, methods and deliverables around that objective. The work can combine investigation, strategic advice and support in carrying out agreed next steps.

A route into a new market

In this example, a client entering a new market is weighing whether to grant exclusive rights to a prospective distributor.

Investigation
Verify the distributor’s ownership, claimed relationships and operating footprint. Identify credible alternatives.
Strategic advice
Compare routes to market and identify the conditions the client could require before granting exclusivity.

How we work

We review public records and open sources (OSINT) and, where the brief warrants it, speak discreetly to people with relevant first-hand knowledge (HUMINT).

  1. Agree the brief

    Define the objective, the material questions, the boundaries of the work and the deadline.

  2. Investigate and verify

    Assess sources, corroborate material claims and flag contradictions or evidence gaps.

  3. Brief and advise

    Explain the evidence, its implications and the practical options available to you.

Ethics

We assess the purpose and proposed methods of each engagement before accepting it.

Lawful and proportionate

We agree a legitimate purpose and use methods proportionate to the brief. We decline work that requires unlawful access or surveillance.

Confidentiality

We limit access to sensitive material and agree how it will be handled and shared.

Independence

We consider conflicts before accepting work and report findings that challenge a client’s assumptions.

Evidence and judgement

We distinguish verified facts, source accounts and our assessment, and identify uncertainties that affect the decision.

Tell us what you need to establish and when you need to decide. We can agree a secure channel for sensitive details.
