Every finding verified. Every decision defensible.
Intelligence analyst-grade agentic AI, cross-examined by machines and human experts before anything reaches you.
We collect widely, analyse deeply, verify everything and advise clearly.The cost of being wrong is yours. We make sure you aren’t.
AI is powerful. Unverified AI is a liability.
- Confident, not correct.AI tools answer fast and fluently, even when the facts are wrong.
- Invented sources.A citation can look real and lead nowhere.
- Errors compound.One unchecked claim becomes a decision, then a strategy.
That’s why every finding we deliver is proven first.
Four steps. Nothing skipped. Nothing assumed.
Nothing reaches a client until it has been proven.

Inside step 03
Most firms check their work. We prosecute it.
Verification isn’t a step we add at the end. It’s built into how the work is made, and the agent that produces a finding is never the one that checks it.
- 1Interrogate the sourceEvery claim is traced to a source we have opened and read, never a search snippet. We weigh where it came from, how reliable it is, and what it says against our finding, not just for it. Ten outlets repeating one wire story count as one source, not ten.
- 2Challenge the claimA separate agent, with no part in the research, finds each load-bearing claim again and gives it one of four verdicts: verified, false, unverifiable, or passed to a human expert. A hostile second pass then tries to break the findings themselves. If the evidence can’t survive being found twice, it doesn’t ship.Our expert network includes senior academics, former diplomats, policy practitioners and sector specialists. They review what the agents can’t settle.
- 3Prove the productFigures are recomputed, not re-read. Dates and timelines are tested against each other and against the latest reporting. Every correction is logged and checked again, because fixes create fresh errors. Then a final inspection decides whether the work leaves at all, and a named principal signs it off.
The rules we don’t break
- “Unverifiable” is never called “false”.
- A missing fact is flagged, never filled in.
- The final inspection cannot edit, so it can’t paper over a problem.
What you receive with every report

Group of Verified Intelligence is a London strategic intelligence consultancy building agentic AI that thinks, works and reports like an intelligence analyst, and is held to a verification standard nothing skips.
Yaakov began his career in London as a digital communications consultant, and from the start his work was driven by data and insight. That approach carried him through senior roles at the National Lottery, the UK Department for Education and Shell International, across government, multinational business and major national and international initiatives. Working where communications, strategy, technology and data meet, he has helped organisations navigate complexity and turn information into intelligence they can act on.
When AI tools first became widely available, he was quick to adopt them, but never casually. He built them into a structured, disciplined process designed to produce insight that is verified before it is used. Today, as a geopolitical commentator and contributor to online media, he brings an international perspective shaped by his Greek-Cypriot heritage and British professional experience. Through GVI, he champions a simple conviction: in a world where AI has made information abundant, the real competitive advantage lies in knowing what to trust.
