Our Solutions 

Our team of expert analysts employ FSLA methodology to every case because it can effectively pinpoint deception, sensitivity and credibility by analysing language patterns such as pronoun usage, negations, qualifiers, logic markers, and many more.

 

Within deception detection, gaining context is crucial in 'Getting to the Truth' so AI can only be used as tool alongside our human experts. DDL is unique in bridging this gap, bringing our analysis to any field, including Risk Assessment, Fraud Detection and  Investigative Analysis.

Testimonials

Dr. Andy Schmulow, AUS

"My submissions and my testimony to the PJIC were reflected in a wholesale adoption of my recommendations. Central to the credibility of my submissions, and the impact they achieved, was the work of DDL. DDL analysed a statement made by PwC’s executives in response to the revelations of wrongdoing. DDL’s analysis was ground breaking — and fatal — for PwC’s case, and their attempted cover up..."

Ayleen Charlotte 

"Working with Chris and the team has genuinely been a pleasure. I have learned so much on a linguistic level — honestly, I had no idea how much is hidden beneath the surface of words. The way language reveals emotion, sensitivity and psychology has truly opened my eyes, and I find myself noticing it everywhere now.

What I really value is that every interaction teaches me something new. These insights don’t just stay within the professional context; I take them with me into my daily life as well. At the same time, they strongly enrich my work with S.A.F.E. and add real depth to my trainings. It’s rare to collaborate with people who continuously challenge and inspire you in this way, working with you genuinely feels like a celebration."

DDL are privileged to be working with Ayleen, Netflix star of 'The Tinder Swindler' documentary, an International key-note speaker and advocate on fraud, resilience and empowerment, plus the owner and founder of S.A.F.E.

JB Beckett 

"At the forefront is DDL, a firm that treats language as data and deception as a pattern. Their work suggests the truth is hidden in plain sight, between the lines of earnings calls, in the footnotes of disclosures, and in the rhetoric of policy makers. FSLA views the market not as a machine, but as a conversation where hedge funds and those who allocate to them may find their next edge".
