Evidence-first OSINT, explained
A practical guide to disciplined use of open sources and how fragmented public information becomes traceable intelligence.
What is OSINT?
How disciplined open-source research becomes traceable intelligence.
Source examples
Public notices, company records, and the questions historical evidence can support.
From records to findings
The OSINT methodology: scoping, collection, matching, review, provenance, and confidence.
Law & ethics
GDPR, purpose, proportionality, and responsible commercial use.
Limits & data quality
Stale records, incomplete coverage, model uncertainty, and human review.
Every factual claim is linked to a numbered source. We distinguish registered facts from interpretations and state where the evidence can be incomplete.
The quality of a finding depends on the choices behind it. We publish our approach so investigators can understand what the evidence means and what it does not prove.
