Investigative research, built on methods you can show your work with
Aldevor teaches and advises on relationship mapping, open source verification, and investigation design — entirely within lawful, publicly available methods, from a base in Nakuru, Kenya.
Method matters as much as the finding
Aldevor works from a simple premise: an investigative claim is only as strong as the trail a reader can follow back to its source. We teach and advise on building that trail properly — from registry filings and gazette notices to verified open source material — so the result can be checked, not just believed.
- ✓ Every connection tied to a document
- ✓ Verification steps written so they can be repeated
- ✓ Boundaries agreed before work begins

Sequencing an Inquiry So No One Is Alerted Unfairly
Why order of approach matters as much as the questions asked.
Why we work this way
- ✓ Only material that is lawfully and openly available
- ✓ Findings written so a reader can trace each claim themselves
- ✓ Right of reply built into the process, not an afterthought
- ✓ Boundaries agreed and documented before work starts
If a piece of research needs to hold up to scrutiny, it helps to plan the method first.
