A preliminary and fast analysis of an object, its connections and risk signals before launching a deeper investigation. We collect working hypotheses, identify likely risk areas and show whether the next stage of verification is needed.
Simple Scan Report is a preliminary investigation that helps quickly assess an object, its environment, connections and potential risk areas before launching a full-scale investigation.
Unlike a deep investigation, Simple Scan Report does not aim to prove every fact or prepare a full evidence base. Our task is to collect and structure working hypotheses, identify risk signals and narrow down the scope of further verification.
We analyze open sources, corporate and public registries, the object’s connections, geography of interests, and possible affiliated individuals and entities. As a result, the client receives a clear picture: what looks suspicious, where the probability of confirmation is above 75%, and which directions should be checked in greater depth.
Simple Scan is especially useful when the client already has a suspicion but does not yet know whether it is worth investing in a full Quick Scan Report or Full Scan Report.
A transition to a Quick Scan Report or Full Scan Report is needed if:
In such cases, Simple Scan becomes the first stage: it shows where to look, while a deeper investigation confirms or disproves the key versions.
Task framing and hypothesis development
We record the client’s request, initial suspicions and key questions. Then we turn them into a set of testable hypotheses: hidden connections, possible control, affiliated individuals, assets, corruption influence or sanctions risks.
Basic identification of the object
We clarify who or what exactly is being checked: an individual, a company, a group of companies, a partner, supplier, counterparty or executive.
Initial connection mapping
We build a preliminary map of the object’s environment: relatives, business partners, companies, former and current positions, professional ties, possible trusted proxies and related legal entities.
Risk signal detection
We identify signs that may indicate increased risk: a mismatch between public profile and actual assets, sanctions and corruption risks, links to questionable companies or jurisdictions.
Refining the scope of further investigation
We show which directions should be checked in greater depth: specific individuals, companies, regions, jurisdictions, assets, contracts or events.
Preliminary conclusions and recommendations
The client receives a structured set of hypotheses, an assessment of signal strength and recommendations: which versions should be developed further, which can be excluded, and which require a Quick Scan Report or Full Scan Report.
For preliminary assessment of a counterparty, partner or person of interest before launching an expensive legal review.
For a quick assessment of sanctions, corruption, reputational or ownership-related risk signals.
For initial due diligence before a transaction, negotiations or a deeper asset review.
For checking suspicious connections, conflicts of interest, hidden influence or potential internal threats.
For rapid preliminary diagnostics of a client, transaction object or dispute-related situation.
For initial object mapping and understanding whether there are grounds for further investigation.
Before a transaction
When it is necessary to quickly understand whether a partner has hidden risks, related parties or signs of nominee control.
Before launching a major investigation
When it is important not to start blindly, but first identify the most promising hypotheses.
When hidden connections are suspected
When there is a sense that the formal structure does not explain real control, influence or interest.
When the budget is limited
When the client needs a fast and cost-effective way to understand whether it is worth investing in a deeper check.
In an urgent compliance request
When a decision needs to be made quickly and a full investigation would take too much time.
The price depends on the complexity of the case, the number of objects, the number of jurisdictions, the volume of available data and the urgency of the request.
Simple Scan Report helps quickly answer the key question: Are there strong enough grounds for a deeper investigation?
