Archive Terminal // Demonstration Corpus
Sample
Four demonstration case files showing exactly how a Vantage Point dossier is structured — what we report, how we source it, how we rate confidence, and where we draw the line on what the evidence supports.
Demonstration Notice — Read First
Every case file below is entirely fictional. All names, entities, addresses, case numbers, identifiers, wallet addresses, domains, dates and amounts are invented to demonstrate report formatting and analytical method. No real person, organisation, or investigation is described anywhere on this page. Redaction blocks are shown where a live dossier would carry protected client or subject data — in a genuine engagement, no client file is ever published, excerpted, or shown to a third party in any form.
Reading the Report
Confidence Ratings Explained
Every data point in a Vantage Point dossier carries one of four ratings. The rating is not decoration — it tells you exactly how much weight the finding can carry.
| Rating | Definition | How It Appears | How To Use It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | Independently corroborated by two or more qualifying sources. | Stated as fact in findings. | Safe to rely on for decision-making. |
| Corroborated | Supported by one strong source; second source unavailable or inconclusive. | Stated with explicit caveat. | Usable, but verify before acting irreversibly. |
| Indicative | Pattern or inference only; no direct documentary support. | Flagged as a lead, never a finding. | Direction for further work. Not evidence. |
| Unverified | Could not be substantiated from any available source. | Excluded from findings; disclosed as a gap. | Do not act on it. Absence of record ≠ absence of fact. |
Why We Publish Negative Findings
"We searched and found nothing" is a result worth paying for. Every dossier lists what we searched and came back empty on, so you can distinguish a clean record from an unsearched one. Absence of a public record is never presented as proof that an event did not occur.
Why We Publish Our Limitations
Every dossier includes a Method Limitations section stating what we could not reach and why — sealed records, jurisdictional gaps, probabilistic inference. An analyst who reports no limitations is either not looking hard enough or not telling you the truth.
