Summary Of Our Early Findings Relevant To The Goals

  • Our first hour of research was spent verifying the 13 companies provided to us and collecting their websites, as well as doing a high level search on all of them to ensure the data that was being asked for was publicly available.

However, we are confident that we can do a simple 12-month press scan for each company and see if anything pops up concerning any senior people leaving.
  • If any of the compnay websites are incorrect, that would have to be clearly communicated to us in any reply.
