Companies at the edge of a field are worth collecting against before they are worth attacking. The research, the weights, the roadmap and the people who hold them are targets while the security programme is still being hired for.

You get an answer early enough that you still have options.

What we are asked

Who is actually behind this

The fund, acquirer, licensee or research partner behind a term sheet — including where the ultimate interest sits, and whether it is the one named in the documents.

Who has taken an interest in our people

Recruiter-shaped approaches, conference and academic cultivation, and the patterns that distinguish ordinary hiring pressure from directed collection.

What an adversary already knows

What is retrievable about founders and senior engineers — brokers, breach corpora, public record, and the personal surface that makes a credential or a pretext work.

What the record will support

Departing-employee matters, trade-secret disputes and investor conflicts, developed to an evidentiary standard for counsel.

Where the risk actually sits

Research and model theft. Weights, training data, evaluation results and unpublished methods — most often leaving with a person, not through a firewall.
Insider and nation-state collection. Directed at engineers and researchers, frequently through recruitment, academic collaboration or an acquisition conversation that was never going to close.
Investor and acquirer diligence. Who is actually on the other side, what they are assembling elsewhere, and what a data room hands them if the deal dies.
Supply chain and dependency. Compute providers, labelling vendors, contract researchers and the offshore entities behind them.
Narrative and organized opposition. Coordinated campaigns, activist pressure and reputational attacks timed to a raise, a launch or a hearing.
Departure and dispute. What a founder or a lead researcher takes with them, and what the record will actually support when counsel asks.

How we work Public record first, resolved to legal entities and identifiers. Personnel work is public professional record only — a role is evidence of control, never of anything else, and we do not compile personal life. Every claim is labelled by how it is known.

Engagement shapes

Counterparty brief. One entity, resolved. Days, not weeks.
Executive and engineer exposure review. What is retrievable about your people, and reduction of it where possible.
Standing watch. Named counterparties, competitors and campaigns, monitored with a report only when something changes.
Litigation support. Collection and analysis to an evidentiary standard, delivered to counsel.
