On-Ground Verification & Reputation Analysis
We combine local, in-person due diligence with forensic reputation analysis to validate claims, confirm operations and surface reputational, regulatory or community risks. Field visits, stakeholder interviews and primary-evidence capture are integrated with media and social analysis to produce counsel-ready, contextual reports for confident commercial decision-making.
Process
Scope, permissions & safety plan
Define objectives, geographic scope and interview targets. Secure access permissions and create a safety/logistics plan (local contacts, translators, data-handling rules) to ensure lawful, secure fieldwork.
Local stakeholder mapping & scheduling
Identify and prioritise on-site stakeholders: employees, suppliers, regulators, community leaders and customers. Schedule interviews and inspections to cross-check claims and observe operations at representative sites.
On-site verification & evidence capture
Conduct physical inspections, operational observations and asset checks. Capture primary evidence: photos, geo-stamped notes, signed statements, official documents and scanned originals. Maintain chain-of-custody and timestamped logs for auditability.
Reputation & media analysis
Assess wording for enforceability, expiry, conditionality, transferability and notice requirements. Run sanctions/screening checks, evaluate tax/regulatory implications and produce counsel-ready queries or recommended redlines for safe acceptance or escrow protections.
Synthesis report & recommended mitigations
Deliver a concise, evidence-backed report: verified facts, risk ratings, stakeholder sentiment, red flags and remediation steps (contract conditions, monitoring, local compliance checks or escalation to counsel). Include raw exhibits and a recommended monitoring cadence.
