Trusted Advice for Your Most Complex Challenges
TDI was founded in 1999 with the conviction that a discreet strategic advisory and risk intelligence firm can better respond to the needs of international clients and investors than large, inflexible information providers. TDI was built on the premise that clients need timely, accurate, and relevant information to make optimal business decisions. We help multinational organizations, financial institutions, law firms, individuals, and government entities more effectively manage risk throughout the business life cycle.
We Deliver a Decisive Information Advantage for Our Clients.
Our services range from programmatic third-party compliance solutions to complex investigations of corporate fraud and attacks by competitors or adversaries. Every engagement begins with a one-to-one understanding of our clients’ internal goals, challenges, and desired outcomes.
The Meaning of TDI
In Latin, Tertium Non Datur refers to the “law of the excluded third,” or the notion that no third choice exists – the literal definition of dilemma.
At our core, we believe the opposite is true — that through the pursuit of information, an alternative solution often reveals itself. That principle, Tertium Datur, is the genesis of our name and philosophy.
Why TDI?
There are four qualitative inputs to any organization: People, Capital, Technology, and Information. Organizations often devote significant resources to the first three inputs but not the fourth—TDI helps clients maximize their use of information.
Applying the best practices of intelligence collection, analysis, and strategic consulting, we have successfully completed more than 5,000 engagements spanning over 100 countries on six continents.
Our firm’s unique blend of commercial and intelligence experience allows us to understand and evaluate people, assets, and transactions. We provide deep insight into the political, commercial, legal, regulatory, and reputational risk issues that our clients confront.
