How every dossier is built

No section ships without passing the pipeline.

Every material claim carries a confidence grade mapped to a source class — not an opinion. Legal, tax, ownership, and repatriation claims must be Grade A/B or explicitly flagged for local counsel.

Source Grading

Confidence is a source class

A dossier's overall confidence rating is the weakest grade among its material claims for a decision — never an average.

AHighGovernment body, regulator, central bank, national statistics office; primary statute, gazette, treaty article; ratified tax treaty.
BHighAudited financials; multilateral data (IMF / World Bank / UN); court & land-registry records; licensed-professional written opinion.
CMediumNamed market listing or comparable with a date; industry-association data; reputable primary market report.
DMediumNamed expert interview — attributed and dated.
ELowReputable media; secondary aggregators; anonymized market chatter.
FLowestAI-assisted inference or unverified estimate — must be verified and re-graded before publication, or explicitly flagged.

Production Pipeline

Nine stages, each with an owner and a sign-off

01

Scope & thesis lock

Define location, buyer persona, capital tier, sectors, and the decision the dossier must support.

02

Source collection

Gather from the graded hierarchy. Log every source with citation, date accessed, and grade. No uncited figures.

03

AI-assisted drafting

Draft against the template. AI output is treated as Grade F until a human verifies every claim.

04

Human verification

An analyst confirms every material figure against a primary source and records the confidence rating.

05

Legal & tax review

A qualified reviewer checks all legal, tax, ownership, and permit statements. Statute and treaty citations required.

06

Data QA

Numbers reconciled, currencies and dates normalized, comps cross-checked, dead links removed, "last verified" stamps applied.

07

Compliance pass

Disclaimers, jurisdiction limits, no-advice language, and named-contact consent all confirmed present.

08

Design & export

Print layout, scorecards and editable model workbooks attached, version stamped and watermarked.

09

Update cycle

Refresh cadence per tier; every refresh produces a dated change-log. Live-data fields carry expiry rules.

Disclosure

AI-assisted, human-approved.

We use AI to accelerate drafting. We never let it decide what is true. Every material figure is verified against a primary source before a dossier ships — and unverifiable claims are cut or flagged.

  • 01

    No investment advice

    Every dossier is market research and general information only — not investment, legal, tax, or financial advice.

  • 02

    No guarantee of returns

    Projections, yields, and scenarios are illustrative. Past and modeled performance does not predict results.

  • 03

    Consult local professionals

    Before acting, obtain advice from lawyers, tax advisors, and licensed professionals in the relevant jurisdiction.

  • 04

    Named-contact privacy

    Named firms and people appear only with a lawful basis. No introduction implies endorsement or transfers liability.
