Selection panels, appointing bodies and journalists look. So do opponents. Most of what they find is not damaging in itself, but being asked about something you had forgotten in a public meeting is a poor way to encounter it for the first time.
The Public Profile Readiness Review is a confidential assessment of the publicly accessible information associated with you, conducted before you apply for or take up a position carrying greater responsibility, visibility or scrutiny.
£495 to £595. Normally within seven working days.
A complete Readiness Review, reproduced in full, so you can see exactly what you would receive.
The Public Profile Readiness Review is self-commissioned. You commission the assessment in respect of yourself, and you are both the client and the person assessed. Integri does not use this route to assess another person.
It is designed for prospective councillors and parliamentary candidates, people going forward for trusteeships and non-executive posts, professionals moving into regulated or public-facing roles, and others approaching a point at which their publicly accessible record is likely to receive materially greater scrutiny.
Every commission is bounded and specific. Before substantive assessment begins, the preparation purpose or type of role, assessment date, assessment-period start date, identifiers, agreed source classes and any specific inclusion, exclusion or extension are recorded.
The assessment works from publicly accessible and reasonably discoverable material within that agreed scope. Private, restricted, credential-protected and non-public material is outside scope. The Review is not described as an exhaustive search of a complete digital history.
Search and discovery tools may identify leads, but a reportable finding or practical observation must rest on material that can be reviewed and, where appropriate, cited. Attribution must be sufficiently established; a name match alone is not enough.
External codes, professional standards, legal provisions or governance principles are used only where they genuinely apply. The Seven Principles of Public Life, the Equality Act 2010 and other frameworks are not automatic scoring frameworks.
Integri does not instruct you to amend, remove, suppress or restrict content, and does not act on your behalf with platforms, publishers or other third parties. The Review may identify a matter you should be aware of or prepare to explain or contextualise.
A written report records the agreed scope, assessment period and assessment date, and sets out any reportable findings with their evidence, context, assessment basis and preparation relevance. Non-material contextual or factual matters may be recorded separately as practical observations.
Individual reports use two overall conclusions.
No reportable finding requiring specific preparation was identified within the agreed scope as at the assessment date. A CLEAR report may contain practical observations. CLEAR does not certify absence of risk, suitability or fitness and does not guarantee any appointment outcome.
One or more reportable findings were identified that warrant specific preparation before the relevant appointment, selection or scrutiny process. CONCERN does not establish wrongdoing, determine suitability or fitness, or advise whether to proceed with an application.
Why two conclusions and not three. Verify reports commissioned by organisations use three conclusions because they inform an organisation weighing a decision about someone else. Public Profile Readiness uses CLEAR and CONCERN because you are not being assessed for suitability; you are finding out what is on the public record and whether anything warrants specific preparation.
The report is a point-in-time assessment. It reflects material publicly accessible and reasonably discoverable as at the assessment date. It should not be relied upon for an appointment, selection or other scrutiny process taking place more than 90 days after issue without a further assessment.
The Review is commissioned by you and issued to you. Integri does not disclose the existence of the Review, or its findings, to an employer, appointing body, party, regulator or other third party.
If you choose to disclose the report to an appointing body or anyone else, that is your decision. How Integri handles personal data during the commission, assessment and delivery process is set out in the Privacy Notice.
You contact Integri directly. The preparation purpose, assessment period, source classes, identifiers and any specific inclusions or exclusions are agreed before substantive assessment begins.
Identity Confirmation is completed before the commission is accepted. It is a visual confirmation process used to confirm that you are commissioning the Review about yourself; it is not forensic document authentication.
The agreed scope, price and applicable order terms are confirmed before you commit. The seven working day target runs from confirmation of the order and completion of identity confirmation, not from first contact.
Publicly accessible and reasonably discoverable material is assessed within the recorded scope and period, with evidence and attribution checked in context.
Substantive assessment and the overall conclusion are human judgements. Every issued Public Profile Readiness report is finally reviewed and authorised by Integri before release.
The report is issued to you. It records the assessment as at its stated assessment date and remains advisory only.
The fee is confirmed in the order confirmation before commitment and covers the Review and the report. Where you are acting as a consumer, work begins after the statutory cancellation period unless you expressly ask us to start sooner.
If you are preparing for an appointment, selection process or role carrying greater public or professional scrutiny, the Review can be commissioned directly by you.
All Integri services and outputs are advisory only. Integri does not provide legal advice or representation, exercise statutory powers, certify compliance, determine suitability or fitness for any role, make appointment, selection, disciplinary or removal decisions, or guarantee any particular outcome. Clients and commissioning organisations retain sole responsibility for their own due diligence, human judgement and final decisions. No Integri output must be relied upon as the sole basis for a governance, publication, appointment, selection, engagement, disciplinary, removal or legal decision. For Public Profile Readiness, the Review is self-commissioned and issued to the client. Any disclosure of the report to an appointing body is the client's decision. The Review does not replace the appointing body's own due diligence.
