Policy
Scope & professional boundaries
The professional boundaries we keep across research, academic work, compliance and investment, and the outcomes no honest adviser can guarantee.
Research and evidence
Findings are as strong as their sources, and every deliverable states its method and limits. Where evidence is thin, we say so rather than fill the gap.
Legal, tax, investment and medical matters
We give operational and research advice, not legal opinions, tax advice, investment recommendations or clinical advice. Where a question needs a licensed professional, we frame it and refer you.
Compliance
Our compliance work, such as data protection or EU AI Act reviews, is an operational assessment. It is not a legal opinion, a certification or a guarantee of compliance.
Academic work
We coach and edit; the researcher remains the author. We never write assessed work. See Academic integrity.
Outcomes we cannot guarantee
Funding or tender awards, publication, search rankings or AI citations, exam results and investment returns depend on decisions by others. We work to improve your chances and report honestly on what happened.
Experience
Documented experience on this site is individual experience of our principals, before or outside the firm, and is attributed to the organisations that held the work. It is not a record of GKM contracts.
What needs to move forward?
Tell us the decision, the challenge or the opportunity. We reply with a scoped approach, a named principal and a fee before any work begins.
No charge to submit an enquiry.
