Due Diligence

Diligence and risk
The deep dive before you commit.

Before you commit capital, a partnership, or your name to someone, a background check is not enough. You need the full story: who they really are, what the record shows, and what they would rather you never find. We go all the way down, on the company and the people behind it, so you walk in with your eyes open.

Capabilities

What we do

Deep-dive due diligence

This is our heavy work. We investigate the entity and the principals behind it from the ground up: ownership and control, real track record across prior ventures, litigation and regulatory history, undisclosed affiliations and conflicts, and the daylight between what they claim and what the record proves. We read every source ourselves and tell you what it means, not just what it says. More often than not, this work has steered a client clear of a costly mistake.

Talent and reputation checks

When you are signing the people who will represent your brand, a single resurfaced post sinks a campaign. Our RISK Report™ vets influencers, spokespeople, and hires: reputation, conduct, affiliations, and public positions. It is faster, productized, and ships as a clean PDF the whole team can share. We work alongside advertising agencies, production companies, and their attorneys.

How we work

Why MI:33

By hand, not by database

Anyone resells a database pull. We run a real investigation and apply judgment, so you get a finding you can act on, not a pile of raw data.

Reach we have spent decades building

Our network is human and global. Our agents have pulled records and read people across jurisdictions for years, and that reach surfaces what automated tools miss.

Principal-led, in confidence

A principal works your file start to finish. Working through counsel, we take direction from your attorneys to help protect privilege.

The deliverable
The diligence dossier

The deep work comes back as a written dossier: the findings, the evidence behind them, and a plain read on the risk. Talent work comes back as the RISK Report™. Both land in a form you can put straight in front of your partners, your board, or your counsel.

The RISK Report™ covers
  • A full social-media review, including negative content, substance use, and conduct
  • Verification of everything they told you
  • Criminal records, bankruptcies, liens, and judgments
  • Sanctions and international watch-list clearance
  • Sex-offender check
  • Current and upcoming projects
  • Business affiliations

Whether you are investing, partnering, or putting your name beside someone else’s, a principal runs the diligence and hands you the truth before you commit, in confidence.
