Services | Paul Faulkner — The Rogue Protocol

Three service lines.
One standard.

Forensic financial intelligence, AI-enabled project delivery, and advanced quantitative modelling — for hedge funds, family offices, and C-suite executives. For decisions where getting it wrong costs seven figures.

Every engagement begins with the Forensic Diagnostic — £5,000. Not a discovery call. The first intelligence deliverable.

The work this practice does.

Three distinct capabilities built on the same forensic foundation. The diagnostic determines which one your situation requires — or whether it requires more than one. The client describes the problem. The protocol determines the entry point.

Service Line 01 — Forensic Intelligence
Crisis Intelligence &
Institutional Retainer
Corporate forensics · Regulatory strategy · Acquisition due diligence · Portfolio risk

The work a hedge fund or family office commissions when the numbers look clean and something still feels wrong. Structural risk identification, acquisition forensics, regulatory exposure mapping, and ongoing retainer intelligence for portfolios that cannot afford the gap between what the sell-side publishes and what the filing actually says.

Retainer clients receive analysis before it reaches the public record. The window between forensic identification and market pricing is where retainer relationships operate.

Engagement types
Forensic Diagnostic — £5,000 fixed. The mandatory entry point. Written brief within 48 hours. Full credit forward.
Defined-Scope Analysis — from £15,000. Acquisition due diligence, crisis triage, regulatory strategy. Fixed price, 2–6 weeks.
Monthly Retainer — from £10,000/month. Priority access, allocated capacity, proactive intelligence. 30-day notice.
Bespoke Mandate — on application. Major family offices and institutional investors. Custom scope, never published.

Service Line 02 — The Operational Protocol
AI-Enabled Delivery &
Legacy Recovery
Project intelligence · Primary record · nOS v1.0 · Velocity delivery · EUC forensics

The senior operator you call when the system is failing, the timeline is collapsing, or the board is asking questions nobody can answer. Every word of every meeting indexed from the first handshake. An AI council — Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Mistral — red-teaming its own output against the source audio before anything reaches the client.

1pm handshake. Interactive strategy deck by 4pm. Go-live by 9am. This is documented output, not a theoretical timeline. Legacy EUC recovery from £15,000 — VBA, Access, ghost logic, FCA compliance documentation.

What this delivers
Primary record — every meeting, every call, indexed and timestamped. There is no version of events. Only what was said.
AI council — four models, each with a defined role, cross-referenced against source audio before delivery. Hallucination caught by design.
Velocity Delivery — from £20,000. Complete project engagement. Fixed scope, fixed price, no junior intermediaries.
Legacy EUC Recovery — from £15,000. Zero-knowledge codebase reconstruction. Ghost logic identified. FCA-ready documentation produced.
£15,000+
Fixed Scope · 1–4 Weeks
Service Line 03 — Advanced Modelling
Quantitative Modelling &
Interactive Intelligence
Forensic model review · Institutional model construction · Bespoke interactive tools · Expert analysis

Thirty years of institutional model construction — banking mortgages, treasury services, payroll and compensation, satellite telemetry, online gambling reconciliation, forensic accounting. Since Excel 5 in 1996. Not adopted as a skill. Forged as the primary tool for institutional analysis across three decades and a dozen domains.

The most valuable engagement in this service line is forensic review of someone else’s model — the one the board is being asked to approve, the one the M&A advisor built, the one the research house produced. Thirty years of building models means knowing exactly what corners get cut.

Five capabilities
Forensic Model Review — from £5,000. The model someone else built, reviewed to the standard it should have been built to.
Institutional Model Construction — from £8,000. Built to survive scrutiny. Conditional frameworks, not point estimates.
Legacy EUC Recovery — from £15,000. Zero-knowledge VBA/Access reconstruction with AI-accelerated codebase mapping.
Bespoke Interactive Tools — from £3,500. The deliverable is not a PDF. It is an instrument. Embeddable, operable, defensible.
Expert Analysis & Litigation Support — from £10,000. Court-ready documentation produced by construction.

Entry via Forensic Diagnostic

The capability is
already visible.

Before commissioning an engagement, most clients want to see what the analytical standard actually looks like. The tools and the lab are the public record — interactive forensic instruments and documented case work, produced to the same standard applied in private mandates. The private work goes deeper. The public work shows the methodology.

Every engagement begins
with the diagnostic.

Mandatory Gateway — All Three Service Lines
Forensic Diagnostic — £5,000

A 90-minute primary-record session. Every word captured, indexed, timestamped. A written forensic intelligence brief — 10 to 20 pages — delivered within 48 hours. The diagnostic maps the situation, identifies the material risks, and determines the correct engagement path across all three service lines. Two weeks of follow-up access included.

This is not a scoping call. It is the first intelligence deliverable. The full diagnostic fee is credited in full toward the subsequent engagement.

  • 90-minute acoustic-capture session — primary record from the first word
  • Written forensic brief — 10–20 pages — within 48 hours
  • Situation map, material risk identification, priority action framework
  • Correct service line identified with fixed scope and price
  • Two weeks follow-up access — email and call
  • Full fee credited toward any subsequent engagement
  • NDA available before any substantive discussion

Engagements accepted
on a selective basis.

All enquiries are treated as strictly confidential. NDA available before any substantive discussion. Not every problem is the right fit. Not every client is the right client. The diagnostic determines both.
