Investigation, intelligence and due diligence services
Serious research.
VCI helps clients establish facts, identify risk indicators and understand the context behind people, companies, relationships, claims and digital threats.
Out work is carefully scoped around the decisions, the questions that matter and the level of risk involved.
Led by experience
Managed by Alexander Moore.
VCI is led by Alexander Moore, with experience spanning 35 years’ as an intelligence contractor across Legal, Defence, Banking, Energy, Pharmaceuticals, Mining and Private Client ecosystems. He has managed extensive projects across multiple jurisdictions.
His background shapes a practical approach: careful scoping, source evaluation, human judgement and clear reporting for decisions where uncertainty carries real consequence.
What this means for clients
- Research is structured around the decision, not general circumstances.
- Sources are assessed in combination rather than relied upon in isolation.
- Reports separate established facts, relevant indicators and core data sets.

Personal matters deserve professional handling.
Background and personal information concerns can carry serious emotional, financial and reputational consequences.

How we work
From uncertainty to a clearer decision.
Understand
We identify the decision, concerns and questions that actually matter.
Scope
We define compliant, proportionate lines of enquiry and agree what the work should deliver.
Research
We examine relevant open sources, records and information within the agreed scope.
Report
Findings distinguish established facts, relevant indicators, context and limitations.
From initial instruction
Clear scope and practical next steps.
Begin matters with a discussion about your immediate requirements, what needs to be established and what information is already available. VCI then agrees the scope, priorities and practical next steps, and any ongoing commitments with you.
Where appropriate, work can begin with a limited initial review before any broader investigation, intelligence assignment or due diligence exercise is commissioned.
What an initial review can provide
- An agreed scope and clear objectives.
- An initial review of available information and relevant sources.
- Early identification of inconsistencies, gaps or risk indicators.
- Practical recommendations for any further enquiries.
- A clear view of whether further work is warranted.
