Working together

Assessment first. Always.

We do not propose a programme before we know what the record actually says. The assessment is the first engagement and it stands on its own — you may act on it with us, with someone else, or not at all.

01

A conversation

What prompted the enquiry, who the sensitive parties are, and what you already know. Thirty minutes, no obligation, and we will tell you if there is nothing here worth paying for.

02

The assessment

The full picture across search, answer engines, reviews, social, directories and data brokers — for the individual, the organisation, or both. Delivered as a document you own.

03

A recommendation

What matters, what does not, what can be corrected and what cannot. Ordered by consequence rather than by what is easiest to bill.

04

The work, or not

Remediation, ongoing monitoring, or nothing further. Some assessments conclude that the right answer is to do very little, and we would rather say so.

The assessment yours either way Remediation with us Act on it with someone else Do nothing, knowingly

The assessment is a deliverable, not a sales step. Two of the three ways forward do not involve us.

Discretion

How we handle the engagement itself.

We do not publish client names

No logos, no case studies with identifying detail, no testimonials. If you can recognise a client from our website, we have failed.

Information stays with the engagement

What we learn about you is used for your work and nothing else. We are happy to sign your confidentiality agreement rather than ask you to sign ours.

One point of contact

The same person throughout. Sensitive context does not get re-explained to a new account manager.

You own the output

Assessments, records and documentation are yours. Nothing is held hostage to continuing the engagement.

How we work

Decisive where it counts.

We move on the first call

If something is live and moving, monitoring starts that day and we are working while the engagement paperwork catches up.

We go to the source

Where a record is wrong and the publisher will correct it, we deal with the publisher directly rather than working around them. It is slower and it holds.

We document everything

Every finding, every action, every response. You end up with a record you can hand to a board, a buyer or counsel.
