About
What this is
probative.io exists to make financial crime and its regulation — across the UK, EU and Switzerland — comprehensible, navigable, and actionable. Everything on this site has to pass one test: does it make it easier to understand, investigate, or prevent financial crime?
What we sell
Two things. A consultation — a fixed-length session on a specific question. And fixed-fee written work — research, reviews, and investigations delivered as a document you can act on, priced in writing before any payment. Figures are on the pricing page.
Around the paid work sits the free layer — the dossiers, the Atlas, the resource library. It is deliberately useful on its own, not a teaser.
How payment works
The first conversation is free. If there is work to do, the scope and fee are agreed in a one-page letter before anything starts. You are invoiced — PDF by email, or by post if you prefer — and pay by bank transfer within 14 days. Nothing is charged through the website. And if you are not satisfied, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What binds the work
- Independence. No sponsored content, no paid placements, no editorial direction from anyone. The analysis serves the reader.
- Accuracy. Every factual claim sourced; legal references cited to primary authority; errors corrected publicly and promptly.
- Privacy. Minimum data, no tracking, Swiss infrastructure. Your material is returned or deleted when the work is done — only the work product is retained.
- Limits, stated plainly. probative.io is a research and investigations practice, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice.
