Reports: investigative reports and special investigations

Method and verification

• Primary evidence: contracts, court filings, corporate registries, sanctions dockets, procurement records and FOI documents.
• Data discipline: reproducible datasets, versioned spreadsheets, timestamps and clear method notes.
• Source standards: on-record interviews preferred; confidential sources require demonstrable public interest and corroboration.
• Visual checks: time and place validation on photos and video, satellite cues where available, manipulation screening.
• Transparency: if facts change, copy updates with visible timestamps and correction notes.

What we publish

• Investigative reports: long-form findings anchored in documents and data.
• Special reports: multi-part packages that map actors, timelines and money flows.
• Explainers: context modules that decode jargon, legal frameworks and technical systems.
• Follow-ups: accountability checks on promises, budgets and enforcement.
