AIRP — Adverse Intelligence Reconciliation Protocol
A global intelligence framework for cross‑border due diligence
Overview
The Adverse Intelligence Reconciliation Protocol (AIRP) is a structured methodology for interpreting adverse information across borders with consistency, precision, and jurisdictional alignment. Developed from more than 45 years of global investigative experience and over 25,000 executive litigation searches across 180 countries, AIRP provides a unified approach to resolving fragmented, multilingual, and multi‑jurisdictional data.
AIRP is not a database, algorithm, or automated search tool. It is a protocol — a repeatable, evidence‑based framework for reconciling identity, litigation exposure, and adverse intelligence in complex international environments.
Why AIRP Was Created
Traditional due‑diligence workflows were never designed for:
- multilingual court systems
- inconsistent disclosure rules
- identity drift across borders
- fragmented public records
- cross‑border litigation
- varying standards of evidence
As global mobility increases, these gaps create risk for insurers, law firms, investment groups, and executive screening providers.
AIRP was created to solve this problem by providing a single, coherent method for interpreting adverse information regardless of jurisdiction.
What AIRP Does
AIRP provides:
- a structured method for reconciling conflicting or incomplete data
- a jurisdiction‑aligned interpretation framework
- a consistent approach to adverse findings
- a cross‑border identity verification overlay
- a risk‑weighted assessment model
- a unified reporting structure for global due diligence
AIRP transforms raw data into actionable intelligence.
How AIRP Works
AIRP operates through a multi‑stage reconciliation process:
- Jurisdictional Mapping Identification of all relevant courts, administrative bodies, and regulatory sources.
- Identity Reconciliation Alignment of names, aliases, transliterations, and cross‑border identifiers.
- Adverse Intelligence Extraction Structured extraction of litigation, regulatory, and reputational signals.
- Interpretation Layer Jurisdiction‑specific analysis of findings, context, and legal weight.
- Risk Overlay Executive‑level assessment of exposure, patterns, and materiality.
- AIRP Score A weighted indicator reflecting the overall adverse‑intelligence profile.
- Conclusion A clear, jurisdiction‑aligned summary of findings and risk implications.
This methodology is now the standardised format for all AIRP assessments.
Who Uses AIRP
AIRP is used by:
- global background screening firms
- insurers and underwriters
- law firms
- investment advisors
- corporate risk teams
- executive screening providers
Any organisation requiring clarity in cross‑border due diligence benefits from AIRP.
Origins and Development
AIRP was developed by Christian Faust, Founder and CEO of FLSS, drawing on:
- 45 years of cross‑border investigative experience
- Supreme Court‑cited fieldwork
- complex insurance investigations
- international litigation research
- proprietary intelligence methodologies
- 20 years of global case data across 40+ countries
AIRP represents the consolidation of decades of real‑world investigative practice into a formal, repeatable protocol.
