01 Entity Mapping

Market & Capital Intelligence

PEOPLEOWNERSHIPCAPITALSUPPLIERSPARTNERS

We map and analyse the structure of markets - from individuals to corporate entities - and the relationships that connect them. From modelling supply chains and ownership structures to partnerships and funding flows, provenance is recorded at every step. Bespoke views built to answer your questions mean you don't pay for data you don't need.

MAPPING PROJECT / RETAINER

Market & Capital Mapping

We resolve markets into entities and the relationships between them. Corporate structure, beneficial ownership, investors, funding rounds (and the vehicles behind them), suppliers and partnerships - every node and edge traceable to a primary source. Knowledge graphs / entity maps built to your scope, grounded in the information that matters to your business.

SCOUTING PROJECT / RETAINER

Scanning & Scouting

We've refined our approach to horizon scanning through years of monitoring strategically important markets. It helps us spot new entrants and emerging technologies early, because we know which signals matter - be it a sector going dark without explanation, a quiet influx of new capital or an atypical pattern of acquisitions.

02 Open Source Intelligence

Investigations & Due Diligence

DILIGENCEINTELLIGENCEOSINTRESEARCH

Understand who you are dealing with and what you've not been told. We support research into counterparties, transactions and competitors using primary sources eg to identify ownership and control, regulatory exposure and litigation history.

We're skilled Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) practitioners, and confident enough to be clear about what we're not able to establish, alongside what we can verifiably prove.

Straightforward answers to commercial questions that don't fit an existing template. We use relevant open sources such as corporate filings and registries, patent filings, web and social media posts to uncover the technical trail activities leave behind. Available as one-off or retained engagements.

Enhanced Due Diligence

Pre-transaction and pre-appointment diligence on companies, funds and individuals - beneficial ownership, source of wealth, regulatory and litigation history. We deliver the reputational picture a database screen will never deliver, informed by human experience and judgement.

How we work

01

Scope

We agree a brief in a single kick-off call, settling the decisions being served and the standard of proof that must be met. Scope, timeline and cost are then settled in a mutually signed-off brief before work begins.

02

Collect

Primary sources first - registries, filings, court and land records, procurement and sanctions data, open source collection, human enquiry - whatever the brief requires and budget enables. Everything is dated and attributed as it comes in.

03

Analyse

Data is resolved into a single picture with in-house tooling - be it entity and relationship mapping or more traditional collation. Judgements stay human, with tooling increasing the bandwidth of what a single analyst can undertake.

04

Deliver

Insights delivered, graded by confidence and with provenance - so assertions can be verified. We're honest and open about gaps and dead-ends. Retained engagements work in a loop, refining scope ahead of the next cycle.
