Where the
assumptions matter most.

Every decision rests on something taken to be true: that the supplier is who they say, that the route is sound, that the control position holds. We work where those assumptions carry real weight, and test them before they become decisions.

Container port elevation A densely detailed front-elevation line drawing of a container port in brass on deep navy. A large container ship with a raked bow, hull plating, draft marks and an accommodation block carries eleven bays of stacked containers. Two ship-to-shore gantry cranes stand on the quay: one with its latticed boom lowered over the ship, a trolley and a container suspended on the spreader, the other with its boom raised. To the right a rail-mounted gantry spans stacked yard containers. Water is drawn as layered wave lines with reflections; the quay carries crane rails, bollards, fenders and mooring lines.
§ Areas of specialisation

Six areas.
One question.

i.

Defence & Aerospace

Whether a bid, a partner, or an export rests on the control position you assume you hold.

  • Export-control posture
  • End-use and destination exposure
  • The evidence a prime or auditor will ask to see
ITAR / EAR →   ECJU / OFSI →
ii.

Critical Minerals & Rare Earths

Whether your supply of a critical input holds up against concentration, origin rules, and the next sanctions move.

  • Supplier concentration
  • Beneficial ownership
  • Origin exposure across the chain
Intermediation →   Intelligence →
iii.

Fashion & Consumer Supply Chains

Whether your supply chain stands up on forced labour, origin, and the reputational exposure that follows a wrong answer.

  • Supplier and sub-tier diligence
  • Country-of-origin integrity
  • Modern-slavery evidence buyers and regulators expect
Intermediation →   Compliance →
iv.

Food & Agricultural Trade

Whether a cross-border product decision holds up on origin, standard, and route before you commit to it.

  • Origin and documentation integrity
  • Counterparty standing
  • The compliance position behind the movement of goods
Compliance →   Procurement →
v.

Energy, Industrial & Raw Materials

Whether re-sourcing under tariff, cost, or sanctions pressure has moved you into origin or sanctions exposure you did not intend, from feedstock and crude to industrial inputs.

  • Re-sourced supplier and feedstock origin
  • Sanctions-touch across the chain
  • The concentration risk a rushed switch can create
Intermediation →   Intelligence →
vi.

Cross-Border & Sanctions Exposure

Whether the counterparty, the destination, and the route are what you believe them to be.

  • Counterparty ownership
  • Destination and end-use screening
  • The sanctions position across the transaction
ECJU / OFSI →   Intelligence →

If your decision is not named here. The areas change; the question does not. If a decision carries regulatory, financial, or reputational consequence and rests on something you have taken on trust, it is in scope. Send the brief and we will tell you plainly whether it is ours to test.
