In the United States and Europe, no serious political campaign begins without opposition research — a professional process of political due diligence.

Contrary to the common belief, it’s not only about “digging up dirt.” True opposition research means gathering verified, legal facts about candidates, parties, and stakeholders. This includes:

• Business connections and financial ties
• Media presence and public image
• Statements and interviews
• Voting records and policy positions

Why It Matters

Opposition research plays a strategic and protective role for candidates, sponsors, and even businesses involved in politics.

✔️ Reveals risks before they become scandals
✔️ Helps defend against misinformation and fake news
✔️ Provides a solid foundation for real strategy, not illusions
