Understanding power.Documenting facts.
An international network of publications that analyses decisions, verifies claims and conducts public-interest investigations.
Project statusThe publications are in preparation. This site presents the publisher, the method and the policies the publications will apply.
Editorial question
Every piece starts from a precise question: what was decided, by whom, with what effect. The question defines what needs to be proven.
Gathering evidence
Documents, data, public records and testimony. Every relevant claim must be traceable to a source.
Comparing accounts
The people and organisations involved are contacted before publication. Conflicting accounts are reported.
Responsible publication
The text separates established facts, hypotheses and opinions, states the limits of the research and attributes responsibility in proportion to the facts.

03Public-interest investigations
What makes a piece an investigation.
No investigations have been published yet. Once they are, this section will link to the publications’ verified work.
Our investigative methodOriginal research
It does not repackage published news: it produces new findings from documents, data or testimony.
Traceable evidence
Every relevant claim is linked to evidence described in a verifiable way.
Right to respond
Those named receive the questions before publication, and their response is reported.
Stated limits
The text states what could not be established and which questions remain open.
Human approval
Every investigation has identifiable editors who approve its publication.
