Deep Research Report

    Don't just search. Investigate.

    Deep Research goes beyond databases and basic web results. It launches an AI-led, multi-thread investigation that follows promising leads, maps a wide network of owners, officers and related companies, and adapts as new evidence emerges — then turns thousands of signals into one clear, evidence-backed dossier. From a name to the full story, in 15–30 minutes instead of days.

    The problem

    A screening tells you what matched. It doesn't tell you the story.

    Deep Research is an AI-led due diligence investigation of a single person or company. Instead of returning one pass over a database, it resolves identity, screens the official sources, researches adverse media and regulatory records in local languages, maps a broad evidence-backed network of owners, officers and related entities — flagging the new parties it finds for screening — and reconciles everything into one citation-backed, point-in-time dossier.

    A list check answers a narrow question: is this name on a list right now? That question matters, and you should keep asking it on every counterparty. But it is not the question that stops a bad onboarding. The cases that hurt are the ones where the name itself is clean and the risk sits one step away — in a director who was disqualified in another jurisdiction, in a parent company that quietly changed hands, in an enforcement notice published in a language your tools never searched. A flat list of hits cannot see any of that, because it never leaves the row it matched.

    Deep Research is built the way an analyst actually works. It starts from what you know, decides what to check next based on what it just found, and keeps going: a name in a filing becomes a company to look up, a company becomes an ownership thread, a local-language article becomes a court record to confirm. Nothing is asserted without the source behind it, contradictions between sources are surfaced rather than smoothed over, and the questions the evidence could not settle are written down instead of quietly dropped. What you get back is not a score — it is a file a reviewer can read, challenge, and defend.

    One-pass search vs. adaptive investigation

    The same counterparty, researched two ways. A single-pass tool optimises for a fast answer; an adaptive investigation optimises for the evidence you need to justify a decision.

    What Deep Research actually does

    Seven stages run in sequence, each feeding the next. You can close the tab — the job is durable and continues in the background until the report is finished.

    01

    Identity resolution before anything else

    The investigation begins by working out who you actually mean. It takes the name plus whatever discriminators you have — country, registration number, year of birth, address, website, a known alias — and resolves the entity before any research starts, collecting transliterations and alternative spellings along the way. If the identity stays genuinely ambiguous, the report splits the candidates or stops for manual review. It will never silently merge two people or two companies that happen to share a name, because a dossier that quietly blends two lives is worse than no dossier at all.

    02

    Deterministic screening, not an AI guess

    Before the open-web research begins, the resolved entity is screened against the official sources the platform already covers: sanctions lists across every major jurisdiction, criminal and wanted-person watchlists, and the dedicated PEP domain. These results are deterministic and come from the registers themselves — the AI layer can explain a retrieved match, but it can never invent one or substitute its own judgment for the source. The exact sources screened and the point-in-time timestamp are recorded in the report, so the screening section of the dossier is evidence in its own right.

    03

    Adaptive research that follows the strongest leads

    This is what separates Deep Research from a search. Specialist research threads run in parallel across adverse media, regulatory and enforcement records, court and corporate filings — and they re-plan as they go. A lead that turns up nothing is dropped; a lead that turns up something is pursued. Coverage is multilingual by design, because enforcement action and investigative reporting on a cross-border counterparty are usually published first, and often only, in the local language. The investigation reads sources in the language they were published in rather than waiting for an English summary that may never come.

    04

    A wide relationship network — every edge evidenced

    Risk rarely sits on the name you typed. Deep Research builds a broad map of the network around the subject: parent and subsidiary companies, direct and indirect owners, directors and officers, controlling customers and material associates. A dedicated ownership specialist works the control graph — resolving direct versus indirect holdings, percentages, effective dates, historical changes and conflicting cap tables — while adverse-media and commercial-risk specialists extend the same graph from their own angles. Every finding is merged and deduplicated into one ledger, so the network keeps growing as the investigation runs rather than stopping at a fixed number of hops.

    05

    New parties found are flagged for screening

    Discovering a connection is only half the job — the other half is checking it. When the investigation surfaces a company or a person who was not in your original query, that party is written into the report as a named screening referral, with the evidence that put it there, rather than being buried in a paragraph. Your analyst can run it through the platform's sanctions, PEP and criminal-watchlist screening as its own check. This is what turns a network map into an actionable worklist: an owner two steps behind your counterparty arrives on your desk as a name to screen, not as something you had to notice yourself.

    06

    Cross-verification and a claim-by-claim ledger

    Findings are reconciled against each other before the report is written. Every material claim lands in an evidence ledger tying it to the sources that support it, and where independent sources disagree the contradiction is reported as a contradiction — not averaged away into a confident-sounding sentence. Confirmed facts, reported allegations, and unverified claims are kept visibly separate, so a reviewer can see at a glance which parts of the file would survive a challenge and which parts are still someone's assertion.

    07

    A dossier, with the gaps written down

    The report closes with what it could not establish: unresolved identity questions, jurisdictions with no accessible public register, threads that ran out of sources — and the specific follow-ups a human should take. Most tools present absence of evidence as a clean result. Naming the gaps is what makes the rest of the document trustworthy, and it tells your analyst exactly where their time is worth spending. The whole dossier is stored as point-in-time evidence and exported as a PDF in the report language you chose.

    The investigation loop

    One name becomes a network — because the agent keeps pulling.

    This is the part a single-pass search cannot do. Each finding changes what gets researched next. Here is the loop, on one worked example.

    1. 01
      Resolve

      A trading company, and a discriminator

      You enter a company name, its jurisdiction, and a registration number. The investigation resolves the legal entity, picks up two transliterated variants of its trading name, and confirms it is not the similarly-named entity registered in a neighbouring jurisdiction.

    2. 02
      Screen

      Lists come back clear — and that is not the end

      Sanctions, criminal watchlists and PEP screening return no direct match on the company. A one-pass tool stops here and reports a clean result. The investigation records the screening snapshot and keeps going, because the entity itself was never the most likely place for the risk to sit.

    3. 03
      Follow

      A director's name appears in an unrelated filing

      Corporate records surface the officers behind the company. One of them appears in a filing for a second company in another jurisdiction — and that company is the subject of a regulatory enforcement notice published only in the local language. The thread is worth pulling, so the agent pulls it.

    4. 04
      Corroborate

      Two independent sources, one contradiction

      The enforcement notice is confirmed against the regulator's own register. A news report attaches a larger penalty figure than the register shows. Both are recorded, the discrepancy is flagged as a contradiction, and the primary source is marked as the one to rely on.

    5. 05
      Report

      The connection lands in the dossier, with its evidence

      The related entity, the officer link, the enforcement action and the contradiction all appear in the report with source URLs attached — plus an open question about whether a second officer's overseas role is the same person. Your analyst opens the links, judges the exposure, and documents the decision.

    The example is illustrative. The point is structural: what gets researched at step four is decided by what was found at step three, which is why the shape of the investigation is different for every counterparty.

    What you get

    A dossier your reviewer, your auditor and your regulator can all read

    The deliverable is a structured, citation-backed report — not a score and not a wall of links. It is generated at the moment of the run in the report language you choose, stored as point-in-time evidence, and exported as a PDF that reproduces the result as of the research date. It is never recalculated afterwards.

    • Adaptive research that follows the strongest leads rather than one fixed query
    • A wide relationship network — owners, officers, parents, subsidiaries and associates
    • Direct and indirect ownership with percentages and effective dates where public sources support it
    • Newly discovered parties named as screening referrals, with the evidence behind each
    • Findings verified across multiple independent sources
    • Clear risk signals, contradictions, and the questions still unanswered
    • Every claim and every relationship tied to the source it came from, with clickable URLs
    • A point-in-time PDF in the report language you choose

    Frequently asked questions

    Q.01How is Deep Research different from Full Search?
    Full Search (€5.90) is a quick-context dossier: sanctions, PEP and criminal watchlists, basic adverse media, and a written AI summary for one entity, with no relationship discovery. Deep Research Report (€14.90) is a different workflow, not a bigger version of the same one. It resolves identity first, runs multilingual adverse-media and regulatory research that re-plans as evidence arrives, maps an evidence-backed network of owners, officers and related entities, reconciles findings against each other, and reports contradictions and open questions explicitly. Use Full Search for context on a routine counterparty; use Deep Research when a decision has to survive scrutiny.
    Q.02How long does a report take?
    Typically 15 to 30 minutes. It is a durable background job, so you can close the page or sign out and the investigation keeps running — the finished report appears in your screening history. The runtime is the point rather than a limitation: the agent is reading sources, following leads it did not know about when the run started, and corroborating findings across registers. Routine list screening on the same platform still returns in seconds when speed is what you need.
    Q.03Is it available through the API or batch upload?
    Through the API, yes; batch, no. Submit with search_type=deep_research_report and poll the search endpoint — the report is a durable background job, not a held-open request, so the API returns queued and the worker finishes it. Batch upload deliberately does not accept it: at €14.90 a row an upload would commit a four-figure sum to a queue of 15–30 minute investigations, and Deep Research is a per-case decision rather than something you run across a portfolio. Sanctions, PEP, criminal watchlist and adverse media are all available in batch.
    Q.04How far does the relationship network actually go?
    It is not capped at a fixed number of hops. A dedicated ownership specialist works the control graph — direct versus indirect holdings, percentages, effective dates, historical changes, conflicting cap tables — while separate adverse-media and commercial-risk specialists extend the same graph from their own angles, and every finding is merged and deduplicated into one ledger. How wide the network ends up is determined by the evidence: a company with a simple structure and one owner produces a small graph, and a layered cross-border structure produces a large one. What is fixed is the standard of proof — every entity and every relationship has to carry its own source URL and evidence snippet, so nothing appears in the dossier on inference alone.
    Q.05Are the related parties it finds also screened?
    Not automatically, and the report is explicit about it. When the investigation surfaces a company or person who was not in your original query, that party is recorded as a screening referral — named, with the evidence behind it — so you can run it as its own Quick Check or Full Search. We do not silently screen discovered names and present the result as if you had asked for it; identity resolution on a name found mid-investigation is exactly where a false match does the most damage. The point of mapping the network is that the owner two steps behind your counterparty reaches your worklist at all.
    Q.06What happens if the investigation fails or comes back incomplete?
    You are not charged for it. The €14.90 — or the report allowance from your monthly plan — is reserved when the job is queued and only kept when the run passes the product completion gate. An incomplete or failed run releases the reservation automatically and idempotently, so a retry never double-charges you. The same applies to plan allowances: a failed run restores the report to your monthly balance.
    Q.07Can I get the report in a language other than English?
    Yes. You choose the report language when you start the run, and the dossier is generated natively in that language rather than machine-translated afterwards. This matters more here than on a routine check: the investigation reads sources in whatever language they were published in — a Czech court register, a Portuguese enforcement notice — and then writes the file in the language your reviewer, regulator, or auditor actually works in.
    Q.08Does it decide whether to accept the counterparty?
    No, and that is deliberate. Deep Research documents evidence-based risk observations and red flags with the sources behind them; it does not issue a legal conclusion or an accept/reject verdict. The final decision — and the responsibility for it — stays with your team. That is also what makes the report defensible: a reviewer can read every claim, open every citation, disagree with an interpretation, and record their own reasoning in the file.
    Q.09What do I need to provide to start?
    A person or company name is the minimum. Everything else you can add — country or jurisdiction, registration number, year of birth, website, address, a known alias — makes identity resolution sharper and the report narrower and more useful. Use public identifiers only: do not paste confidential documents or private correspondence into the intake. If the identity cannot be resolved from what you provide, the report tells you so rather than guessing.

    From a name to the full story — in minutes, not days.
