Choose the depth of review

Three verification levels matched to the decision risk.

The right verification level depends on the consequence of being wrong, the evidence already available and what your decision actually requires.

Level 1

Evidence Check

A limited test of one claim, document or defined source set.

  • Source existence and relevance
  • Obvious contradictions
  • Key evidence gaps
  • Concise reliance finding

Typical starting point: from US$650

Level 2

Evidence Assurance Review

A systematic review against client-supplied material and selected external sources.

  • Claim-by-claim assessment
  • Citation and source-quality review
  • Independent-corroboration testing
  • Material findings and limitations

Typical starting point: from US$1,500

Level 3

Decision-Grade Independent Verification

A deeper adversarial review for consequential reliance.

  • External source verification
  • Counter-evidence and alternative explanations
  • Evidence gaps and material contradictions
  • Defensible decision record

Quoted according to scope: often from $5,000

Meaning of decision-grade

A process standard, not a guarantee.

“Decision-grade” describes the agreed depth, traceability and documented review process. It does not mean that all relevant information is available, that the conclusion is infallible or that the client’s ultimate decision is guaranteed.
