What we offer
Public records & reputation review
​We provide clarity and confidence in decisions that matter — whether personal or professional, strategic or everyday.
Our due diligence process begins with a meticulous review of public records and reputation, offering actionable insights into individuals at every level — from household hires to senior corporate executives.
We conduct in-depth analysis across the social media platforms most widely used in Eastern Europe, including Telegram, VK, Odnoklassniki, Instagram, and Facebook, uncovering patterns, risks, and hidden connections that others often miss.
By combining proven human intelligence techniques with advanced open-source research, we deliver a comprehensive and verified view of each candidate’s background and character — ensuring that no critical detail is overlooked.
Communications & Media Analysis
As a part of our public records & reputation review, corporate due diligence, or for any other reason, we will transcribe and analyze all Russian and Ukrainian-language media content utilizing native speaking analysts.
​
Unlike AI transcriptions, our analysts will catch the nuance and colloquialisms unique to not just a language, but regional dialects as well.
When context can completely change on the inflection of a single word, only native-speaking analysts can be trusted to provide 100% accuracy.
​
Not only will we transcribe your content, but we have the experience to contextualize what we are translating and synthesize the information into real, actionable intelligence.
Multi-Source Due Diligence
Our due diligence capabilities extend further, providing critical insight and foresight ahead of mergers, acquisitions, and other complex transactions. With a proven record of supporting Fortune 50 companies, we ensure that every decision is grounded in clarity, precision, and risk awareness.
Our analysis covers the full spectrum of corporate intelligence, including financial health, industry SWOT, executive and personnel vetting, reputation assessment, sanctions and watchlist screening, compliance risk reviews, and more. Each engagement is tailored to uncover hidden exposures and protect long-term value.
Specialized expertise in Eastern Europe sets us apart. Decades of direct experience within regional law enforcement and judicial systems provide unparalleled access and context, enabling clients to navigate one of the world’s most opaque and fragmented environments with confidence.
