Analytic and Forensic Technology
Analytic and Forensic Technology
Dig Deeper with Emerging Technology
We use emerging analytic and forensic technologies to detect, analyze, and illustrate complex business relationships.
IP Address Anonymity
Quilligence can use secure proxy and Internet privacy tools to access and record research subjects’ websites.
This extra level of anonymity may help clients obtain a more thorough view of a subject’s online presence—especially in instances where web servers offer different content to readers based upon their home country.
Emerging Markets Website Scraping
We equip our researchers with state-of-the-art web crawling and user simulation technology to query thousands of open source emerging markets websites in a matter of seconds.This tool helps us access information beyond the reach of search engines and mainstream media sources.
We combine the tool’s auto- translation technology with skilled human analysis to develop broader and deeper insights abroad.
Link Analysis and Data Visualization
Quilligence uses these tools to map key relationships between individuals, organizations, and transactions, and to identify central figures of interest to our private clients, law enforcement, and government officials.These visual analytics help us to pinpoint patterns of anomalous activity in business networks--such as suspicious asset ownership structures, sales of assets, supply chains, and links to terrorists or government officials.
Geospatial Analytics
Business information often has a location component—such as the coordinates of a property transaction or the registered address of a shell company.We help clients to harness this data in a meaningful way—such as through customized mapping apps and reports on statistical trends.
In conjunction with leading partners in the field, we can help clients build geospatial analysis into their business research strategies.

Research on an International Trucking Company
We conducted due diligence research for a client preparing to partner with an overseas trucking company.
We identified the company's shareholders, key executives, and key assets and obtained public information regarding business reputation and adverse findings.
* Fictional Example Case
2nd-level Links
After consulting with the client, we performed a second level of research on the key parties we identified.
Undisclosed Holdings and Potential Path of Influence
The trucking company's beneficial owner is on the OFAC SDN list.
The same group of individuals leads both companies; by masking its ownership of the trucking company through a series of shell companies, the beneficial owner escaped the reach of regulatory sanctions.
Result
By providing this analysis to our client, they were able to effectively navigate the risk and legal consequences associated with this potential business relationship.
