Company Intelligence
Before you rely on a company or counterparty: its ownership, control, leadership, commercial position and any material structural, regulatory or reputational exposure.
Company IntelligenceDEVIS OS · Decision intelligence
Every deal has a story it tells,
and one it doesn’t.
Understand the company, the people and the transaction before you commit.
For due diligence, M&A, investment committee, advisory and legal teams making decisions that are expensive to get wrong.
Connected evidence
People, finances, ownership, regulation and political exposure, read together.
Qualified findings
Each finding shows how far it is supported and what it may affect.
Your decision
A defensible basis for action, challenge or escalation. The decision stays with you and your advisers.
The Challenge
The challenge is rarely a lack of information.
The evidence behind a consequential decision sits across documents, registries and specialist workstreams. Each holds part of the picture. The exposure that matters often sits between them.
Evidence is fragmented
Each workstream holds part of the picture. The issue that moves price or terms can sit between them.
Relationships are obscured
Links between people, entities and ownership can surface after commitment, when they are harder to address.
Contradictions go untested
Sources are read in isolation, so conflicting facts can reach the committee unchallenged.
Consequences arrive late
Findings are reported without what they may affect: valuation, financing, warranties or timing.
What You Receive
Finding, evidence and consequence, read together.
Each material finding is set out with the status of its supporting evidence and what it may affect, so senior reviewers can see what matters, how far it holds and what requires action.
How the report is structured
Exposure Summary
| Finding | Evidence status | May affect |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership or control evidence is inconsistent | Contradicted | Control analysis, warranties, approvals |
| Regulatory status is incomplete or conditional | Inconclusive | Financing availability, timing, structure |
| Customer concentration is material and contractual evidence is incomplete | Partially corroborated | Forecast confidence, valuation assumptions |

Applications
One operating system. Three client applications.
Each engagement begins with your decision, then applies the same connected intelligence model to the company, the transaction or the investor behind it.
Deal Intelligence
Decision-oriented intelligence across the parties, structure and surrounding exposure of a transaction.
- Buy-side. What you are committing to, before you commit.
- Sell-side. What a buyer or investor will challenge, before they do.
Investment Screening Intelligence
Factual intelligence on investor ownership, control, state influence, target exposure and transaction structure, for transactions facing screening regimes in Switzerland and across Europe.
Investment Screening IntelligenceHow It Works
Five questions answered before you commit.
Every engagement follows the same sequence, so your team sees not only what was found, but whether it holds and what it means for the decision.
- 01
Context
What decision is being made?
- 02
Evidence
What can be established and sourced?
- 03
Connections
How do parties, facts and events relate?
- 04
Consequence

- 05
Decision Readiness
What requires action, challenge or escalation?
