How we investigate
We follow evidence wherever it leads.
01
Research
Documents, interviews and the public record, before a hypothesis hardens into a story.
02
Report
Fieldwork where the file is incomplete, and the people the file does not name.
03
Verify
Data, experts and a second reading of every claim that will carry a byline.
04
Publish
A transparent method on the page, and a desk that will correct what it gets wrong.
