What the community does
Open-source monitoring
We track registers, customs data, company websites and social media to spot new shipments, contracts and connections.
Geolocation and verification
We establish where and when a photo or video was taken, and check every fact against at least two independent sources.
Data analysis
We compile findings into spreadsheets and databases and look for patterns: common owners, intermediaries, supply routes.
Reporting
Together with Kontur analysts, we turn verified data into investigations, reports and recommendations for the authorities and our partners.
