Forensics &
Computational
Analysis

Financial, digital and documentary forensics — carried out with computational capacity most investigative practices do not have. We recover the established account of events from the evidence that remains, and write it to survive challenge.

01 — The Discipline

We establish what happened,
and we can prove how we know.

The distinction that matters is between what is alleged and what can be proven. Almost all of our work lives in the second — and the reason we can stay there is arithmetic. We read more of the record, more times, than a manual practice can.

04Evidence domains Financial, digital, documentary — and the reconstruction that joins them.
Adversarial passes Every finding attacked before it is called one.
100%Traced to source No figure asserted without a primary document behind it.

A · Examination

Read to an evidentiary standard

Documents, devices, records, materials and finances examined together rather than in isolation — the physical and the digital read against each other.

B · Computation

Applied at a scale that changes the answer

Where a matter has outgrown manual review, we compute it. Volume stops being the reason a question goes unanswered.

C · Synthesis

Fragments resolved into one account

Every domain reconciled onto one timeline, with confidence stated and contradiction retained rather than smoothed away.

D · Verification

Survives our own attempt to break it

The strongest case against a finding is built and put before it reaches you — so you never hear it first from the other side.

02 — The Record

People believe evidence can be erased.
Usually it has only been moved.

01

Financial forensics

Ledgers, statements, flows and structures read for what they were arranged to hide. Reconstruction of transactions, beneficiaries and the movement of value — through layered entities, related-party dealing, and the gap between what a set of books asserts and what the bank record shows.

02

Digital forensics

Devices, accounts and records recovered and read to an evidentiary standard, chain of custody preserved so the product survives a courtroom. Deleted and residual data, metadata and timeline reconstruction, and the correlation of activity across systems that were never meant to be read together.

03

Documentary & materials

Documents, communications and physical materials examined for authenticity, authorship and sequence — what was written, by whom, and when. Backdating, substitution and alteration are found in the artefact, never in the assertion.

04

Reconstruction of events

The fragments across every domain resolved into one account of what took place, with the gaps named as gaps and never quietly filled.

03 — Computation

Where the volume is the defence,
we remove the defence.

Concealment usually survives because nobody has the capacity to read all of it. Six years of transactions, forty devices, two hundred thousand messages — the volume itself is the hiding place. That is a computational problem, and we treat it as one.

01

Computing power assistance

Compute brought to matters that have outgrown manual review. Full-corpus processing rather than sampling, so a conclusion rests on the whole record — not on the part somebody had time to open.

02

Algorithmic & AI-critical work

Pattern, anomaly and structure detection across corpora too large to eyeball. Every machine-surfaced candidate is then verified by a person against source.

03

Advanced data synthesis

Financial, communications, device and documentary records normalised onto one timeline and one entity graph, so relationships that exist across systems become visible in a single view.

MethodFull-corpus processing. Sampling tests a hypothesis; it never reaches a conclusion.Standard
Machine rolePrioritisation and detection only. No finding is issued on machine output alone.Bounded
Human roleEvery surfaced item verified against primary source before it enters a report.Required
ReproducibilityEach transformation logged, so the route from source to finding can be re-run and audited.Recorded
Data handlingProcessed on our own equipment. No third-party cloud; no client corpus trains anything.Closed
04 — Method

From seized material to a finding
that holds under cross-examination.

01

Secure

Material imaged and entered into a custody record before anything is opened.

02

Normalise

Every source reduced to one schema — one clock, one entity set, one currency.

03

Correlate

Cross-domain links computed across the full corpus, not a sample of it.

04

Verify

Each candidate traced by hand to the primary document behind it.

05

Refute

The strongest counter-case built and put. What fails is reclassified.

06

Report

Findings, evidence schedule and confidence statement, written for challenge.

Nothing inferred is presented as proven.

Every finding we issue carries one of three classifications — on the page, next to the finding, in the report you receive.

ESTABLISHED

Traced to a primary source and survived the counter-case. Can be put to a court.

ASSESSED

Supported by the weight of evidence but not conclusively proven. Reasoning shown.

OPEN

Unresolved. Recorded as a gap, with what it would take to close it.

05 — Capability
We will not show you the machine.

What we will commit to is the outcome, and to the fact that every number in it can be traced back to a document you can hold. We are content to be measured on that and on nothing else.

Engagement · In Confidence

We take instruction in confidence.

Every engagement begins with a scoping conversation: what you need established, to what standard, and by when.
