INDEPENDENT PUBLIC-INTEREST RESEARCH
About Diligence Desk
We examine the integrity of corporate claims by bringing together the evidence companies distribute across different audiences and documents.
The complete record matters.
Companies communicate differently to different audiences. Consumers see advertising. Investors see presentations. Regulators receive carefully limited descriptions. Lawyers prepare qualifications and risk disclosures. Material information may be distributed across studies, press releases, patents, regulatory databases, court records, and securities filings.
Diligence Desk brings those representations together. We examine the exact claims companies make, the impressions those claims create, and whether the complete evidentiary record supports them.
What makes us different
PRINCIPLE 01
Evidence Before Authority
Credentials, publicity, valuation, and popularity do not substitute for validation.
PRINCIPLE 02
The Complete Record
A claim cannot be evaluated fairly when its important qualifications are hidden elsewhere.
PRINCIPLE 03
Transparent Scrutiny
We show our sources, explain our reasoning, invite responses, and correct the record.
