Why the groundwork matters
Strong investigative work rarely fails because of the writing. It tends to falter earlier — in how a source was approached, how material was stored, or whether a hard call was reviewed by anyone else. Galveris exists to strengthen that earlier stage, calmly and without shortcuts.

- Every session leaves you with a written standard to keep
