Methodology & background
Evaluate sources. Understand connections.
Traceable research starts with a clear question and ends with an honest assessment of what the evidence supports.
The question shapes the research
We begin with the decision context: what do you need to know, about which organization and for what purpose? Together, we define the topics, period and scope. This keeps expectations and deliverables clear.
Public information, systematically evaluated
Depending on the assignment, sources may include company publications, public registers, procurement information, technical documentation, public repositories, security advisories and media reporting. Accessibility alone does not make information reliable. We assess origin, timeliness, context and independent corroboration.
Facts and assessments remain distinct
Reports identify supported observations and distinguish them from conclusions. Contradictions, gaps and alternative explanations are made explicit. Uncertainty is explained rather than hidden behind artificially precise risk scores.
Findings with a point in time
Public information changes. Reports document the research cutoff, relevant sources and limitations. Not finding evidence does not establish that something does not exist.
Discretion and clear boundaries
We treat your research question and supplied information confidentially. Confidentiality agreements and appropriate exchange channels can be agreed before the project starts. Personal information is considered only where relevant to the agreed organizational context.
Our services are intended for professional organizations. They are not private detective services, legal advice or a substitute for a complete technical security assessment.

Parallax Intelligence is my research practice in Kierling, Austria. I am your direct point of contact, from defining your question to discussing the findings.
The focus is on connecting technical research with understandable analysis. You receive a report whose claims and sources you can follow.
I contribute to Taranis AI, an open-source tool for OSINT and situational awareness. This technical work complements the research approach at Parallax Intelligence.
