Independent intelligence consultancy

Vigilance Beyond
the Visible.

Cross-border asset tracing, sanctions and export-control investigations, and counterparty intelligence, delivered as a finished written assessment with every source shown.

Many financial-crime matters are too big for a database screen and too small for a global investigations firm. We join up on-chain flows, corporate ownership, sanctions lists, trade and vessel data into one tested answer that a lawyer, an underwriter or a deal team can act on.

About Us

Amon Sûl Labs is an independent intelligence consultancy. We combine blockchain-forensic, illicit-finance and trade-investigation expertise to investigate the people, companies, payments and goods behind a risk.

We take sensitive and adversarial mandates, so we do not publish client names, matter details or the identities of the analysts who work on them. Law firms and institutional clients can request a confidential capability briefing under NDA. Named expert evidence is available for contentious matters.

We are a consultancy, not a data vendor. We do not sell software licences or API seats. Our collection and analysis are automated, and every finding is reviewed and signed off by an analyst before it reaches a client.

// Two divisionsASL Intelligence is our investigations practice. The ASL Defence Suite is our technology service for detecting and documenting coordinated information attacks. Both are described below.

// Cross-border by designWe work across jurisdictions, with particular depth in the registries and corporate structures of Central and Eastern Europe.

// Built for scrutinyOur clients' next step is often legal, regulatory or arbitral. We record the provenance of every source from the outset, not as a final formatting step.

What We Do

Amon Sûl Labs works through two divisions: an investigations practice and a technology service.

ASL Intelligence

Investigations practice

Investigations into companies, transactions and the people connected with them, carried out for a client's own decision, claim or compliance obligation.

Core services
[01] Asset Tracing

Digital Asset Tracing and Recovery

We follow funds across chains, bridges, OTC desks and exchanges to the point where a court order, an exchange disclosure request or a recovery strategy can act on them. On-chain evidence is joined to corporate ownership across UK, EU and offshore registries.

Typical clients

Solicitors, insolvency practitioners and liquidators, fraud victims' counsel, arbitration legal teams.

[02] Sanctions & Export Control

Sanctions and Export-Control Exposure

We examine the suppliers, distributors, end users and payment routes in a client's own transaction or supply chain: shell layers, nominee officers, transshipment points and settlement rails. Ownership chains are checked against UK, EU and US (OFAC) designations, with particular attention to dual-use goods such as microelectronics and drone components.

Typical clients

Exporters and manufacturers of controlled goods, their counsel, and compliance teams facing an alert they can't resolve from a screening hit.

[03] Due Diligence

Counterparty and Pre-Transaction Intelligence

Red-flag investigations on a target, supplier, contractor or counterparty before money moves. We combine beneficial ownership, sanctions exposure, litigation and adverse-media history, trade footprint and, where relevant, on-chain history.

Typical clients

Investors, lenders, family offices, procurement and compliance teams.

[04] Maritime

Maritime and Commodity Risk

We assess the vessels, owners and cargo flows behind a bind, a charter or a trade-finance decision. Vessel history and AIS behaviour are connected to ownership, flag and payment evidence. Each assessment is prepared for a specific decision, not as a live feed.

Typical clients

Marine and war-risk underwriters, P&I clubs, charterers and trade-finance teams.

Investigations: how engagements are scoped
[T] Triage

Triage Assessment

A two-page assessment: what the evidence shows, what it would take to go further, and our recommendation. It tells you whether a full investigation is worth commissioning.

Typical turnaround: 72 hours
[I] Investigation

Full Investigation

A written report with an evidence register, network map, findings, stated limitations and a decision recommendation. Fixed-fee where the scope allows.

Typical turnaround: 2–4 weeks, scoped per matter
[E] Expert Support

Expert Support

A report prepared for proceedings, to the standard expected of expert evidence, with support through disclosure and hearing.

Scoped per matter

ASL Defence Suite

Technology service // pilot stage

Software and analyst review for detecting, assessing and documenting coordinated information attacks against an organisation, its people or its brand. It is currently offered as analyst-led pilot engagements on data you supply, not as self-service software.

[S] ASL Signal

Coordination and Provenance Analysis

Coordination analysis looks for groups of accounts that reshare the same content in tight, repeated time windows, and puts each candidate group in a review queue with its evidence. Provenance checks read an image's hashes, metadata and any content credentials (C2PA) and record what they find. Results are leads for analyst review, not verdicts.

Best suited to

Communications, crisis, trust-and-safety and legal teams that can export platform data including timed reshares (retweets, reposts or boosts).

[G] ASL Govern

Evidence and Review Workflow

The workflow layer behind Signal: case records, an append-only audit trail, two-person review for high-risk outputs, and versioned briefings, so every conclusion can be traced to its source records and the analyst decisions behind it.

Status

In design with pilot users. Not yet available as a hosted product.

Detection is not attribution, and attribution is not intent. The suite is viewpoint-neutral: lawful dissent is not treated as hostile activity because of its content. We do not run influence campaigns, operate personas or conceal sponsorship, for anyone.
03 / Method

Evidence You Can Re-perform

Every deliverable is built so that a sceptical reader, whether opposing counsel, an auditor or a regulator, can check it.

I
Step 1

Lawful Collection

We collect only from lawfully accessible sources: public corporate registries, court and regulatory filings, sanctions lists, licensed data, public blockchain records and open-source material. Every item is timestamped, attributed to its source and preserved as collected.

II
Step 2

Analysis With Analyst Review

Collection and scoring are automated and versioned, so the same inputs give the same result. Every claim is tagged as a source fact, an analyst inference or a hypothesis, and each finding is tested against its innocent explanation. An analyst reviews and signs off every finding.

III
Step 3

Reporting for Scrutiny

Reports are prepared to the standard expected of expert evidence. They include an evidence register, a methodology appendix, source citations and stated limitations. If a check could not be completed, we say so rather than report "nothing found".

04 / Principles

Operating Principles

01

Joined-Up Evidence

Most providers cover one layer, such as on-chain, registry or vessel data, and leave the joining-up to the client. We put the layers into one picture and show where they disagree.

02

Discretion

We keep each client's information compartmentalised and never publicise a client's matter. Engagements are covered by mutual NDA.

03

Conservative Confidence

An overall conclusion is only as strong as its weakest essential input. We are as clear about what we don't know as about what we do.

04

Independence

We are not tied to any data vendor. We cross-check commercial attributions against the public record and tell you where providers disagree.

05

Rule of Law

We work within the law and for lawful purposes only. Every prospective client is vetted, and we turn down mandates we cannot take on cleanly.

06

Sized to the Matter

Automation lets us scope fixed-fee work that would be uneconomic for a large firm, starting with a 72-hour triage.

05 / Case Studies

Selected Work

Anonymised case studies covering digital-asset tracing, export-control exposure in component supply chains, and counterparty due diligence are in preparation. Public versions will carry no names, wallets or vessel identifiers. Fuller methodology samples are available to verified law firms and institutions on request, under NDA.

Legal and Privacy

Conflicts and Client Vetting +

Before accepting a mandate, Amon Sûl Labs screens for conflicts of interest and vets the prospective client and the purpose of the work. We do not accept mandates where an existing client relationship, a legal restriction or the purpose of the work would compromise the engagement.

Nothing on this website is a solicitation for business in any jurisdiction where such solicitation would be unlawful. Engagement is subject to a conflict check and a mutual non-disclosure agreement.

Privacy and Data Protection +

Amon Sûl Labs investigates companies, transactions and the people connected with them. This involves processing personal data, such as the names and roles of company officers and beneficial owners, drawn from public registers, court records, sanctions lists, licensed databases and public blockchain records.

We process this data only for specific client matters with a lawful purpose, such as preventing and detecting fraud, supporting legal claims, and meeting sanctions and financial-crime obligations. We do so in line with applicable data protection law. We collect information only by lawful means. We keep it no longer than the matter and our legal obligations require, and we protect it with appropriate security.

If you believe we hold information about you, you can contact us at amonsullabs@protonmail.com. Some rights may be limited where exercising them would prejudice the prevention or detection of crime or legal proceedings.

Legal and Regulatory Disclaimer +

Amon Sûl Labs is an independent intelligence consultancy. Our reports, assessments and case briefs are information products. They are not legal advice, financial advice or regulated investment guidance, and Amon Sûl Labs is not a regulated financial services firm.

All collection is carried out by lawful means. We do not access systems or accounts without authorisation, and we do not obtain information by deception.
