What you receive

DFM Intelligence is not a platform you learn, a database you query, or a dashboard you interpret. It is a production desk. You commission a document; the system assembles the evidence, drafts the analysis, checks every figure against its source, and delivers a finished report. The work that a research team would return in weeks arrives in minutes to hours — with the audit trail attached.

Company Card

Who really owns a company — and what it wins, supplies and risks.

  • corporate identity across national registries
  • full ownership and UBO chain, including conflicting records shown as conflicting
  • procurement footprint (tenders, awards, buyers, values)
  • sanctions screening status
  • declared coverage limits.
Delivered in minutes · From the live evidence base

A procurement programme read end-to-end: actors, money, supply chain, rules.

  • prime contractors and consortium structure
  • supplier and subcontractor network
  • budget lines and award history
  • the applicable EU framework (EDIP, EDF, SAFE) quoted article by article
  • risk analysis anchored to the evidence.
Delivered in hours · Independently reviewed

Due Diligence

A counterparty examined before you sign — ownership, exposure, red flags.

  • beneficial-ownership reconstruction

How it works

Three stages. The intelligence is in the separation.

Stage 1 — You ask

Write the question in plain language, or pick a product from the catalogue and name the target. The system interprets your request into a structured brief — entities, jurisdictions, time frame, applicable frameworks — and if anything is ambiguous, it asks you one precise clarifying question rather than guessing. The interpretation is printed on page one of your report: you always see what was actually answered.

Stage 2 — The evidence is assembled — deterministically

Your brief is routed through dedicated data silos: corporate registries and UBO records across 40+ jurisdictions, 48,000+ TED tender notices and 2,200+ award records, EDF and EDIP programme data, sanctions lists, an atomised corpus of 3,400+ citable units from 11 EU legal acts, and a proprietary graph of ownership, supply and investment relations. No model touches this stage. Every fact carries its source document, its extraction date, and a confidence level. What the silos cannot establish is recorded as a declared gap — not papered over.

Stage 3 — An editorial desk drafts, checks, and signs off

An analyst drafts each section from the assembled evidence — and from nothing else. A fact-checker verifies every claim and every figure against the source pack. An editor enforces the house style: conclusions first, data before adjectives, no filler. Then an independent reviewer — a separate instance with no stake in the draft — attacks the report: misapplied legal citations, unsupported claims, numbers that do not reconcile. A report that fails is rewritten or withheld. It is never quietly delivered.

Why it is different

Every intelligence product claims rigour. Ours is inspectable.

No black box.

Your report shows how your question was interpreted, which silos were consulted, and where every fact came from. The methodology is printed in the document, not promised on a slide.

Legislation quoted, never remembered.

EU acts live in our corpus atomised to the article, paragraph and point, with entry-into-force dates. Reports quote the official text verbatim by identifier. A citation that cannot be resolved against the corpus blocks delivery — automatically.

Adversarially reviewed.

Before any report reaches a client, an independent reviewer tries to break it. In our own trials this gate has rejected drafts for a single misapplied article. That rejection is the product working.

Honest about limits.

Where records conflict, you see the conflict. Where coverage ends, the report says so. A declared gap is information; a hidden one is a liability — yours. We choose the former.
