Choose the depth of review

Three verification levels matched to the decision risk.

The right verification level depends on the consequence of being wrong, the evidence already available and what your decision actually requires.

Level 1

Evidence Check

A limited test of one claim, document or defined source set.

Source existence and relevance
Obvious contradictions
Key evidence gaps
Concise reliance finding

Typical starting point: from US$650

Level 2

Evidence Assurance Review

A systematic review against client-supplied material and selected external sources.

Claim-by-claim assessment
Citation and source-quality review
Independent-corroboration testing
Material findings and limitations

Typical starting point: from US$1,500

Level 3

Decision-Grade Independent Verification

A deeper adversarial review for consequential reliance.

External source verification
Counter-evidence and alternative explanations
Evidence gaps and material contradictions
Defensible decision record

Quoted according to scope: often from $5,000

Illustrative situation

The company on the proposal and the company in the register

You have a proposal from a business you have not used before. The trading name on its website differs from the legal name on the contract.

Which entity would we actually contract with, and which claims belong to that entity?

What we would examine: Compare the entity identifiers, dated corporate records and supplied documents. Attribute group and subsidiary claims to the entity they actually describe.
What you could receive: A company identity brief with an entity map, source references and unresolved attribution questions.

How a finding could read, if the evidence supported it

The trading name can be connected to the contracting entity. The parent company’s operating history does not, by itself, establish the subsidiary’s history.

Why this helps: Your team can see what it knows about the actual counterparty before relying on a familiar name.

This is an illustration, not a completed client assignment or a finding about a real organisation. The actual evidence determines the result.

Meaning of decision-grade

A process standard, not a guarantee.

“Decision-grade” describes the agreed depth, traceability and documented review process. It does not mean that all relevant information is available, that the conclusion is infallible or that the client’s ultimate decision is guaranteed.
