Corporate Evidence-Grade Intelligence
Decision Intelligence, not registry extracts
Intelligence you can verify, not just trust.
While traditional counterparty due diligence drags on for weeks, ZARYA completes the work in a matter of days.
We don't just gather documents — we uncover patterns: data collection, connection mapping, and risk flagging are automated, freeing analysts to focus on judgment rather than manual search.
ZARYA's experts analyse the evidence, test alternative hypotheses, and form conclusions — documenting the source behind every finding before the report is issued.
Our materials are used by legal teams, banks, investment committees, and boards of directors.
- —Beneficial owner tracing through nominee chains
- —Litigation risk analysis and sanctions screening
- —Analysis of public wealth indicators against declared income
ZARYA's technology platform + mandatory independent expert verification of every finding.

Pegasus (NSO Group)
What was unknown: Prior to the purchase, it was impossible to independently confirm all the key properties of the closed technology and the boundaries of the customer's control.
What risk became independent: The customer acquired not only a tool, but also dependence on the supplier's assumptions, which he could not fully verify on his own.

Methodology that earns trust
COLLECTION
Algorithmic OSINT perimeter
- Every name/entity variant is checked in parallel, not one at a time by hand.
GRAPH
Mapping ownership and connections
- Nodes referring to the same person or company are merged automatically — duplicates don’t pile up.
CROSS-VALIDATION
Source cross-validation, source rating
- Every source carries its own reliability rating (KB-004) — no conclusion rests on a single piece of evidence.
VERIFICATION
D1–D5 scale, unverified-lead filter
- Every conclusion is graded by confidence level — from "Confirmed" (D1) to "Unconfirmed" (D5).
QC GATE
Independent reviewer, sign-off
- No conclusion leaves the pipeline without clearing the QC gate — every report is reviewed twice.
Section 02 · Platform

Section 05 · Application Scenarios
Application Scenarios
Illustrative examples based on typical engagement scenarios. Client names and subjects have been changed in accordance with our confidentiality policy.
Preventing a transaction with a toxic beneficiary
protected / prevented
A client was preparing to acquire a logistics company. Enhanced due diligence revealed a hidden nominee chain and a link to an ongoing criminal case. The deal was halted; the client preserved approximately $2.3M and avoided potential criminal and FCPA exposure.
Client: major law firm — name withheld under NDA
Regulatory defence under AML / AMLD6 legislation
protected / prevented
A bank was blocking a corporate client's transactions. ZARYA prepared an enhanced report with a risk matrix and D1–D5 reliability scale meeting FinCEN / FATF standards. The document was accepted by financial monitoring; blocks were lifted and a $10M relationship preserved.
Client: major bank, compliance department — name withheld under NDA
Detecting an asset-to-income discrepancy
protected / prevented
An owner was evaluating a partner for a joint venture. ZARYA discovered real estate assets of approximately $2.5M against declared income of under $200K over 3 years. The partnership was not pursued; the client avoided significant reputational and financial risk.
Client: manufacturing business owner — name withheld under NDA

Section 07 · Compliance
Legal, OSINT-only intelligence
ZARYA conducts all intelligence gathering in strict compliance with the data protection laws applicable to the jurisdiction in which information is collected, relying exclusively on open-source intelligence (OSINT). We do not use closed databases, HUMINT, or unlawful data-broker lookups. Personal data is sourced only from lawful aggregators and delivered to the client in a separate Protected Annex (PA) — after an NDA and a distinct request.
Data handling practices are documented and available for review under NDA
Section 08 · Investigation Process

Section 10 · FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a check cost?+
Project cost is determined individually after a briefing and depends on transaction scope, jurisdictions, and the depth of review — discussed during a free consultation before work begins.
How long does a report take to prepare?+
Depends on the format and depth of review: from a few days; exact timing after briefing — far faster than classic due diligence.
Do you use closed databases or illicit data-broker lookups?+
No. We work exclusively with open sources (OSINT) — government registries, court records, and sanctions lists. See the "Legal, OSINT-only intelligence" section for details.
Can the report be used as evidence in court or submitted to a regulator?+
Yes — the report is built to serve as an evidence base: every conclusion carries a D1–D5 reliability rating and a cited source, unlike informal lookups. Whether it is formally admitted remains at the discretion of the court or regulator.
How is my request kept confidential?+
The engagement is covered by an NDA, and personal data on the subject of the review is delivered separately — in a Protected Annex (PA), only upon a distinct request.
Do you handle checks outside Russia?+
Yes, including counterparties in the UAE, Turkey, China, and Kazakhstan — accounting for applicable jurisdictional specifics.
Why not just ask ChatGPT?+
Do. Then ask it for its sources. A generic LLM produces a confident summary of the internet — including its errors — and signs nothing. ZARYA runs algorithmic analysis inside a controlled loop: a vetted source registry, two-source cross-validation, D1–D5 grading on every finding, and a mandatory independent review. Gaps are disclosed, not papered over. A named analyst signs the verdict — and stands behind it before your board, your bank and the court.
