Investigative Capabilities
Madison Research
Madison Research is an independent investigative research firm specializing in corporate investigations for the capital markets.
Founded by veterans of elite intelligence units, Madison Research brings together experience gained through years of national security work, high-profile litigation support, strategic due diligence, and complex corporate investigations.
Before establishing Madison Research, our team conducted investigations for leading law firms, financial institutions, investment funds, multinational corporations, and family offices. Our work supported mergers and acquisitions, shareholder disputes, internal investigations, strategic investments, and other high-risk matters involving billions of dollars across multiple jurisdictions.
Madison Research was founded to bring the investigative methodologies developed in those environments to the public markets.
Our Methodology
What We Investigate
Madison Research investigates public and private companies across global markets.
Our investigations are designed to answer a simple question: does publicly available information accurately reflect how a business operates and the risks associated with it?
To answer that question, we examine ownership structures, governance, counterparties, operational activity, commercial relationships, regulatory history, digital infrastructure, and other information relevant to understanding a company’s business and risk profile.
Every investigation integrates financial analysis, corporate intelligence, open-source intelligence (OSINT), cyber investigations, digital intelligence, regulatory research, ownership analysis, and extensive source verification.
When an investigation uncovers information that we believe is material to investors, we publish our findings.
Our Methodology
How We Investigate
Every investigation follows a structured evidentiary process.
Information is collected from multiple independent sources, verified, challenged, and evaluated before any conclusion is reached.
Financial analysis forms part of our investigative process, but never the entirety of it.
Our methodology combines intelligence tradecraft, cyber capabilities, digital investigations, and corporate intelligence with rigorous financial analysis to build a complete understanding of the companies we investigate.
We believe the strongest conclusions are those supported by independently verified evidence gathered across multiple investigative disciplines.
Every investigation conducted by Madison Research is initiated, directed, and completed independently.
We are not affiliated with issuers, investment banks, regulatory authorities, political organizations, or other parties whose interests may influence our work.
Where appropriate, Madison Research and its affiliates may maintain long or short positions in companies discussed in our publications. Any material financial interest is disclosed in the relevant report.
Madison Research publishes only after completing an investigation that satisfies its internal evidentiary standards.
Every publication reflects the outcome of a disciplined investigative process built on evidence, documentation, independent verification, and analytical review.
Our objective is to contribute independent investigative research that improves market transparency and enables better-informed decision-making by investors and other market participants.
