How We Work:

Exclusive Data Meets Decisive Action.

"All-source" in-house analytical capability (comprising over 10,000 relevant datasets) and the world's most advanced investigative technology.

Analytical support behind 184 U.S. sanctions designations, the seizure of 3,200 tons of illicit cargo, and the disruption of $5.4 billion in illicit financial activity.

A track record of high-quality performance across the U.S. Government, including for the Departments of State, Defense, and USAID that includes directly comparable work, including as the sole awardee to recover assets on behalf of the pre-coup Civilian-Led Transitional Government of the Republic of Sudan, in addition to support to other programs in Venezuela, Bahrain, Gambia, and South Sudan. The program in Bahrain included coordination with the FBI to identify over $1.5 billion in illicit finance and support 6 legal actions by the Government of Bahrain, exceeding analysis provided by a team from Deloitte.
