Delivery
Standards
These eight rules appear, in substance, on every client report. They are the non-negotiables.
Source Tiers
Every claim links to a tiered source (T1 verified primary, T2 corroborated, T3 single-source, T4 unattributed). Complete source index in every report. When sources conflict, we show how we reconciled them.
Confidence Levels
Explicit High/Medium/Low per finding. No unrated assertions. You know what we're certain about versus what we're inferring.
Fact vs Judgment
Verified facts (court records, filings, public registries), corroborated assessments (multiple independent sources), analytical judgments (inference). Labeled in the report.
Gaps Documented
What we couldn't find and why it matters. Missing records, sealed documents, opaque jurisdictions. Stated explicitly, not buried.
Current as of Delivery
Verified against latest filings at delivery. We note when refresh is recommended. Intelligence has a shelf life.
Decision-Ready
Every briefing and report ends with: hold, exit, or wait; conditions to monitor; follow-up if X happens. No open-ended conclusions.
Need-to-Know
Strict compartmentalization. No retention beyond agreed terms. Your portfolio data and counterparty names are not shared across engagements.
No Conflicts
We decline engagements where independence would be compromised. Disclosed if circumstances change during engagement.
