AI & Digital Authenticity Investigations
Images can deceive. Voices can be cloned. Documents can be altered. Verigate Verify examines suspicious digital material and the evidence surrounding it — helping you understand what can be trusted.
Watch how Verigate approaches suspected deepfakes, synthetic audio and disputed digital content through source checks, corroboration and evidence-led reasoning.
Illustrative scenes. No film or automated score guarantees authenticity.
A convincing recording, photograph or message is not automatically an authentic one.
Artificial intelligence has made convincing synthetic and manipulated content more accessible than ever. The consequences can be very real: financial loss, damaged reputations, misleading evidence and decisions made on false information.
Verigate Verify brings traditional investigative thinking to modern digital questions. We look beyond a single detector result to examine available files, sources, context and corroborating information — then explain the findings in plain English.
Discover the Verigate StandardWhether a single recording is worrying you or a larger investigation depends on disputed material, we'll help identify what is useful to examine.
01 / VISUALInvestigating suspected deepfake videos, AI-generated images, altered photographs and misleading visual material. We assess available originals, inconsistencies, contextual clues and potential source history.
Discuss visual material
02 / AUDIOAssessing suspicious voice notes, phone recordings and apparent impersonations. We consider the recording itself, how it was obtained and any supporting context that may help explain its origin.
Discuss an audio concern
03 / DOCUMENTReviewing disputed emails, statements, coursework and business communications where authenticity, provenance or possible AI involvement is questioned. We examine histories and corroboration rather than relying on unreliable authorship scores.
Discuss a document
04 / SOURCEFollowing the digital trail: source claims, file information, public posts, timestamps, versions and surrounding records. A convincing result comes from building a coherent evidence picture, not trusting one automated test.
Discuss provenanceAI-generated and human-created material can share many characteristics. Good investigative work connects technical observations with source evidence, context and sensible limits on certainty.
Support for people and organisations who need to understand whether material may be genuine, altered or being presented out of context.
Suspicious messages, impersonation, disputed recordings and personal deception.
Questionable communications, reputational threats and potential commercial misrepresentation.
Initial authenticity enquiries and organised findings to inform a broader case.
Authorship concerns approached fairly, with supporting records and process context.
Questionable listings, identity claims, images or content that may mislead others.
A digital authenticity question examined alongside tracing, OSINT and evidence review.
A structured process that starts with your question, examines the evidence available and produces conclusions you can understand.
Tell us what material concerns you, where it came from and what you need to establish. We'll discuss a suitable scope and fee.
Where available, examine original files, messages, metadata, source records and relevant surrounding material.
Consider anomalies, consistency, origin claims and possible explanations. Automated tools may assist, but they do not decide the result.
Receive an agreed findings summary with observations, supporting information, limitations and useful next steps.
Every assignment is agreed around the material and the question. An assessment may include:

Practical guidance on authenticity concerns and how we approach them.
Yes. Verigate Verify reviews suspicious images and videos for authenticity indicators, source information and supporting context. We can explore whether material shows signs of synthetic generation or manipulation, then explain the evidence and its limitations.
Yes. We can examine the recording and its circumstances, including possible indicators of synthetic speech, edits or impersonation. Original audio and information about where it came from can be particularly useful.
We can investigate authorship concerns, document history, versions and available contextual evidence. However, an AI-writing detector alone cannot reliably prove authorship. Our approach is to explain what the available material actually supports rather than offer an unsupported verdict.
Original files are ideal because they may retain useful detail or metadata lost in screenshots and reposts. If you only have a copy, we can still discuss a contextual assessment and the most productive next steps.
Yes. We agree the scope and reporting format before starting. Depending on the instruction, this could be a concise findings summary or a more detailed review of indicators, source material and supporting evidence.
Absolutely. Tell us what you suspect and what you're hoping to establish, without sending sensitive originals straight away. We'll explain which material would help and discuss appropriate arrangements for sharing it.
Start with a conversation. Tell us what has raised your concern and what outcome would help. We'll discuss the appropriate next step.
Keep any original files safe and unchanged. There's no need to send sensitive evidence with your first enquiry.
