Other instructions
Other desk-based research and intelligence work may be possible depending on the matter. If your requirement does not fall neatly into the services above, please make an enquiry. We will tell you honestly whether we can help, the likely approach, and any limitations.
A structured, transparent and secure process for every engagement — conducted ethically and in full compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
You contact us by phone, email or website. We carry out a quick, no-obligation suitability and lawful-purpose check and discuss scope at a high level. If your matter is viable, we schedule a discovery call.
An in-depth discussion of your objectives, feasibility, risks, indicative fees and timeline. We align on data protection and what you can expect from us.
We send a detailed quote and Client Engagement Agreement via secure e-signature. You sign and pay a deposit (typically 50%); work begins only once this is complete. Whether a deposit is refundable is set out in our Refund and Cancellation Policy. We are not VAT-registered, so no VAT is added.
Before any research begins, we complete our mandatory lawful-basis and safeguarding checks. Where a matter requires consent, we obtain signed written consent before any research begins.
We carry out ethical desk-based OSINT within the agreed scope, using only lawful sources and methods. We provide agreed progress updates via secure channels, and any change of scope is agreed in writing.
We analyse all findings and prepare a clear, neutral, evidence-based report: methodology, key findings, confidence levels, an evidence log, an executive summary and, where relevant, a formal statement of truth or affidavit as the relevant jurisdiction requires.
We issue the final invoice for the balance. On settlement, we deliver the full report and evidence securely — an encrypted PDF with a separate password, or a secure client share. An optional debrief call is offered.
We confirm you have received and understood the report, invite your feedback, and remain available for future clarifications. Your case file and report are retained securely in line with our Data Retention & Deletion Policy.
Working across the UK. We accept instructions from clients throughout the United Kingdom. Because England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are separate legal jurisdictions, where a matter engages Scots or Northern Ireland law we confirm the scope and any jurisdiction-specific limits with you in writing before work begins.
