A structured examination of a contract, certificate, ID or financial document, assessing whether it is genuine, altered, or fabricated, including with AI assistance.
A contract, identity document, academic certificate, or financial statement has been presented to you, and something about it does not quite add up, or you simply need to know before you act on it. Document fraud has always existed, but large language models and accessible design tools have made a convincing fabrication easier to produce and harder to spot by eye than it used to be.
A written assessment of the document's authenticity, covering what was examined, what was found, and how the finding was reached. Where the document's origin can be verified against an issuing authority or other independent source, that verification is reported alongside the technical examination.
Metadata and file-history examination for digital documents
Format, template and issuing-authority consistency checks
Linguistic and stylistic analysis where AI-generated text is suspected
Verification against the issuing authority or another independent source, where accessible
A clear statement of what could and could not be verified, rather than a confident guess where evidence runs out
Forensic document examination combined with source verification where a document's claimed origin can be checked independently. Findings involving AI-generated content are worded as consistent with, not proof of, AI generation, in line with our standard across this capability.
Often, yes, including in our UK to Nigeria corridor work, though verification depends on the records being accessible in the relevant jurisdiction. Any limitation is stated in the report rather than left implicit.
That is reported as plainly as a finding of fabrication would be. A clean result is a result, not a failure to find something.
A high-quality scan or the original digital file is usually sufficient. Where the physical original matters to the outcome, this is confirmed at scoping.
Yes. Where a document submitted by another party is in question, request the litigation-grade tier: the assessment is prepared to CPR Part 35 standard, cross-referenced against the case timeline, with chain-of-custody documentation and the analyst available to provide an expert witness statement or a formal rebuttal statement.
Every enquiry is reviewed by an analyst and routed to a scoping call, a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
