Every major decision rests on assumptions: that a supplier is who they say they are, that a route is sound, that your compliance position holds. Meridian tests those assumptions independently and gives you the evidence, before you commit.
Each discipline tests a different kind of assumption. All four work to the same standard of evidence.
The papers, registers and proof that buyers, auditors and regulators expect to see: built once, kept current, used again.
We test whether a bid rests on claims you can prove. Every requirement is checked against evidence before the submission goes in.
Counterparty due diligence, sanctions and PEP screening, supply-chain integrity, and the delivery governance that follows an award.
We find where real demand exists and test whether the market you are about to enter will hold up.
Where export controls apply, we scope the work to the regime you face. This is one of several areas we specialise in. Management-system advisory only.
For US-headquartered defence and dual-use suppliers, and for non-US suppliers with US-touching transactions. Posture, programme build, transaction-level diligence.
For UK and EU defence and dual-use suppliers, including those with US-origin content exposure. Posture, programme build, end-user / end-use due diligence.
Each stage produces something the next one depends on. No surprises at the end.
We read the requirements and examine what you hold. You get a precise picture of where things stand.
We assemble the proof, structure the documents and draft responses, under proper version control.
Six checks run before submission: clarity, consistency, traceability and delivery capability.
Every conclusion is evidenced, every test is traceable, and every finding stands up to review.
Click any finding to see how we test, evidence and record each conclusion.
The stated ownership resolves to identified beneficial owners, with no undisclosed controlling interest.
No counterparty, owner or sub-tier in the chain touches an applicable sanctions or watchlist position.
The stated country of origin and route hold up against the documentary and sub-tier evidence.
What changes when the four disciplines work as one system.
Intelligence finds the demand, Compliance builds the proof, Procurement writes the case, and Intermediation governs the delivery.
The assumptions behind a supply, counterparty or compliance decision are checked while there is still time to change course.
Problems found early cost far less than problems a counterparty or auditor finds late.
Every finding is evidenced and traceable, so the decision stands up to a buyer, a board or a regulator later.
Whether it is a bid, an audit, a counterparty or a contract, send it over. We will come back with scope, fee and timeline.
