Evidence

What you actually
get back.

A document built to be forwarded and defended. Here is what is in it, and what it looks like when nobody produces one.

Inside the report

Front matter

The subject as we resolved it, the engagement it relates to, the date the assessment was made, and the name of the person who signed it. An assessment is a statement as at a date, and this one says which.

The finding

The band and the score, and immediately beneath it every deduction itemised. Trace the number to the finding and the finding to the record, in two moves.

Findings by source

What was found, which source it came from, the date of the underlying event, and a link you can open. Weak matches to the subject are marked as weak rather than quietly counted.

Recorded, not scored

Identity resolution, profile capture and document comparison sit in their own section. They tell you how confident the identification is, which is what makes the rest defensible.

The audit trail

What was searched, when, and against which sources. This is the section that answers the question asked two years later: what did you know, and when did you know it.

Reviewer's signature

The person who read the report before it was released, and any notes they attached. No assessment leaves without one.

What it costs to skip

Two cases where
nobody looked.

Both are Danish political appointments. In each, material that later ended a career was sitting in company registers, regulator records and national journalism before the decision was taken. No systematic check was run.

These are readings of the public record. We did not screen either individual.
