Decision-Focused Risk Intelligence Before It Hits the Market
We focus on non-headline regulatory, state-linked and sanctions-adjacent risk in cross-border investments. In practice, this often translates into 10–30% downside before teams can react.
For Red Flag Snapshot and Light Retainer only. Complex scopes may require a short alignment call. Structured intake only.
What standard diligence missed.
A private equity firm evaluating a GCC infrastructure partnership requested a rapid risk assessment. On paper, the target looked clean.
A subsidiary shared registered agents and office infrastructure with entities designated by OFAC for facilitating Iranian procurement networks.

Government contract references were quietly removed from the website without public announcement.
Indirect links between company leadership and a politically exposed individual associated with a procurement authority.
- Potential exposure to secondary sanctions risk
- Possible reputational damage in cross-border partnerships
- Elevated legal and regulatory scrutiny if the deal proceeded
- No direct sanctions listing on the target entity
- No obvious negative press in surface-level screening
- No clear ownership red flags in routine legal diligence
