A proposal from The Training Bureau · for Kroll Iberia · July 2026

This proposal is only a temporary waypoint in the journey we hope to make together.

Kroll Iberia great output, but suffering from inefficiencies

Kroll Iberia today

Kroll Iberia as it works now; dedicated managers, skilled analysts, world-class output.
But inefficiencies and opportunities to improve abound.

  • Managers expending billable hours to function as senior analyst reviewers, no system exists to compound the feedback.
  • High intern turnover means dozens of hours lost every year in non-compounding training
  • Most work and training processes not systematised or automated.
ITB The Training Bureau Kroll Iberia runs as today Recruiting · training process workflows requests · custom workflows analyst behaviour data-free — no Subject or client data enters ITB systems

Kroll + ITB Beta where we are now

ITB wraps the recruiting, training and process workflows Kroll Iberia already runs.

A data-free collaboration where no sensitive Subject or client data enters our systems.

We work entirely alongside you.

  • Recruitment process made bullet-proof and more in-depth
  • Training starts becoming automated
  • Existing training becomes immersive and testable
  • Analysts / interns empowered to become self-reviewing
Kroll Iberia ITB-wrapped every click · every subject · every workflow — structured

Kroll + ITB the full collaboration

When we are greenlighted to handle sensitive Subject and client data, ITB wraps the desk itself.

Every click, every subject saved, every workflow becomes part of one system.

Your value stops relying on ad-hoc training and talented analysts and managers, and becomes a repeatable process.

Every piece of work is finished to the highest standard by definition.

  • All training is automated
  • Work input, not just output, guided through individual performance and case requirements
  • Work revolution: ITB wraps Kroll Iberia's processes into a repeatable, easy-to-manage system.

Designing the modern 
intelligence system

ITB will wrap the recruiting and training that Kroll Iberia already runs with a recording layer.

Every test, training, and feedback session can feed into one employee profile.

The profile helps managers determine ability, and lets each analyst/intern become self-correcting.

Every section below opens as the workflow runs today. Flip each one to see it with ITB, phase by phase. Or press T.

Five phases

Kroll Iberia recruits, onboards, trains, works and reviews. The workflow works. This proposal does not replace a single step of it.

One leak

Each phase produces evidence of how an analyst thinks and writes. Today that evidence is used once, then discarded.

One fix

ITB wraps each phase as it stands and compounds the evidence into a profile that reviews reports before the manager does.

The “today” views below come from what we have seen and heard of the Madrid workflow. Correct us where we're wrong — we'd welcome it.

The idea

One profile, compounding.

Every part of today's recruiting, training, and workflow produces useful training data, entrance tests, working clicks, and feedback, but every part is discarded.
The manager's memory is the only persistent database, and a diligent employee's notebook is the only feedback repository.

Recruitment Training Working Report writing evidence produced · evidence discarded

Run with ITB, every part of the workflow feeds one employee profile.

The profile is not concealed from the intern or analyst; it is developed alongside them as a long-running feedback form.

As ITB's collaboration with you becomes data-greenlit in the future, the employee profile becomes the kernel of an automated quality control at Kroll's Iberia office.

Recruitment Training Working Report writing Gators Desk Employee profile one per analyst, always current reviews the report first

The phases below show what that looks like, step by step.

Every phase feeds one employee profile, starting from the ITB tests to the manager’s own feedback.

A Gator Senior Analyst reads that profile and the case type the analyst is working, and loads a tailored checklist into MS Copilot.

The analyst then engages in a full review cycle with MS Copilot using this tailored checklist, before handing in their finished work to the manager.

How the employee profile works

The profile writes the prompts, not the report.

Today, the employee profile is built from the benchmark, the automated and in-person training, and the manager’s own feedback. 

It is then fed into our Gator Senior Analyst, our trained LLM that sits between the analyst and MS Copilot. 

It hands the analyst a tailored prompt for each weakness, which they pass to Copilot alongside their report or its excerpts. You will benefit from the Founder’s three years of experience in using LLMs as senior editors for professional pieces and investigative reports, an LLMs strongest use case in client-facing outputs. 

Copilot never writes the report; it reads it and returns only the requested recommendations.

In ITB’s future the same profile is built the same way, but it becomes denser.

The prompts no longer go to MS Copilot; they run through ITB’s own Automated Review, and Gators Desk guides the work itself.

Phase I · Recruitment

Who are you actually hiring?

Two gates decide the hire: a written test and an interview.

But the written test is unprotected, and neither truly aim to measure the analyst's inherent investigative capacity. 

Candidate Manager Kroll written test Kroll interview completes evaluates Hiring decision

The friction

  • The written test works. But having an unprotected test in 2026 that only measures output risks AI-led cheating.
  • It primarily measures summarising ability and English output. Investigative capacity is not directly tested.
  • The manager reads raw test output. Nothing beyond the finished text can be measured or compared.

With ITB, our benchmark measures how the candidate investigates, and the written test keeps its job and gains protection. The manager receives a comprehensive test report from both. 

Candidate ITB Manager Benchmark test new Kroll written test ITB-wrapped Kroll interview completes analysed candidate profile evaluates Hiring decision

What changes

  • A benchmark test measures what the written test can't. A timed, open-web investigation exercise scored against Kroll's own analyst pool.
  • The Kroll written test, ITB-wrapped. Same evaluation of summarising and English output, now completed in a monitored environment that records the process (timing, drafts, paste events).
  • ITB triages both into a candidate profile and presents it to the manager. 

The candidate profile becomes page one of the employee profile.

Phase II · The first week

The best training window is week one.
Today it opens with waiting.

Between offer and start date, the hire waits. Training-wise, week one is primarily used for compliance courses. New Hires are usually put on real cases from day two or three. 

New Hire in week one Ramping up on real work Compliance Offer accepted Day one Onto work the hire waits

The friction

  • The first week, and especially the first days, is when a hire can absorb the most. But in training terms, it is mostly spent on compliance.
  • Candidates routinely ask for preparatory tasks before day one.
  • The days between acceptance and their first case are the only training window that costs zero billable hours.

ITB's automated training is ready the day the offer is signed. 

We will continue to develop our automated training until it shoulders most of your training responsibility. 

New Hire in week one Ramping up on real work Automated ITB training Compliance Offer accepted Day one Onto work Automated ITB training optional · before day one

What changes

  • Optional early start. Hires who ask for prep can receive their automated ITB training course. 
  • A narrative foundation course (2–3 h) containing Boolean search techniques, visual identification methods, and more;
  • Tradecraft lessons: signal vs. noise, investigative common sense, facts vs. truth.
  • Initial storytelling and writing training.

Every exercise is scored. Performance data reaches the profile from day one — or earlier.

Phase III · Ongoing training

From watching to doing.

Most training sessions are analysts presenting information to new hires as they watch. While the content can be strong, there is no way of guarantee that any of it stuck. 

New Hire Kroll Analyst or manager Training session observes teaches …and again next session

The friction

  • Significant analyst time invested, with uncertain impact on the hire.
  • Sessions are visual at best and never participatory.
  • There is no way to evaluate what the hire understood.

The same sessions — Kroll databases, storytelling, techniques, case types — run wrapped inside ITB's presentation module. Analysts can strengthen their presentations with our course library, or design custom levels, where new hires can participate instead of observing. 
As always, every answer and response time is captured and analysed.

ITB course library select · modify · create Training session ITB-wrapped New Hire Automated ITB training completed Kroll Analyst or manager participates teaches live feedback participation data ITB triages into the profile to profile

What changes

  • Kroll's trainers decide the content by selecting, modifying or creating exercises from the ITB course library.
  • Training becomes interactive and social. Hires do the work, seniors give feedback on the spot.
  • In-built courses capture participation data automatically.

ITB triages every session into the employee profile the manager can consult.

In ITB’s future, most of training is the automated course. Only the parts a group genuinely teaches better stay, still ITB-wrapped, and still captured.

New Hire goes through it in full Automated ITB training course most of week one, automated to profile In-person session only where a group teaches best ITB-wrapped Kroll Analyst teaches

What changes

  • The training is the automated ITB course, completed in full and scored end-to-end.
  • In-person sessions remain only where a group teaches best and stay ITB-wrapped, so they're captured too.
  • Automated or live, every click feeds the same profile.

Phase IV · Working Gators Desk

A case is a thousand clicks.

Every search batch comprises hundreds of clicks that construct queries and client-facing artefacts like i2 charts.

Analyst the objective Sweep adverse media time spent building searches: Find the four adverse search strings ≈ 30 seconds Deploy them, one by one 5 seconds each

typed click · mouse click 

analyst preferences · workflows · strengths — lost with every case

The friction

  • Every click costs seconds, thousands of times a day. 
  • The method lives in each analyst's head, and the queries have to be hand-generated afresh for every new investigation. 
  • And old-fashioned and unintuitive services like i2 cost dozens of minutes for minor changes. 

Our data-free Gators Desk collapses all of those clicks into one, letting the analyst get on with their job more efficiently and more precisely.

analyst behaviour — saved for the profile

What changes

  • No subject or client data is saved or processed in the program. Results are triaged and collected in-Kroll. Inherently GDPR Compliant.
  • LLMs touch search strings and other non-sensitive inputs, nothing else.
  • The value is in the clicks: faster work, fewer misses.
  • ITB will not read case information, only the analyst's behaviour (what works well and what doesn't, who works well at what), and designs the next click-saver from it.

Every bundled click teaches the profile how this analyst works best.

Gators Desk is the surface the work moves onto — a data-free toolkit that turns each fan of clicks into one. The tools inside:

Chartquitect

Intuitive, beautiful chart creation.

Timeliner

Easy-to-create timelines.

Work Claim Checks

LinkedIn disambiguation and the search queries to verify a Subject's claimed roles.

Ghost Company Checks

Builds the queries to study whether a Subject's company is genuinely active.

Path Finder

A library of custom and pre-built search strings, in every language.

Variant Generator

Automated variations on names, emails and phone numbers.

Legend Builder

Account creation to guarantee investigation safety.

Reminder · why is it data-safe

Gator's Desk Beta makes only limited use of AI, and it will never touch your Subject's name or data, it is limited to creating search strings and prompts for MS Copilot.

 The Desk has no backend: all progress and files, like charts and timelines, must be downloaded, or they are automatically erased.

The Desk does not store or present any Subject information, it just creates the queries for your analysts to save on clicks. We store no data, except the analyst's own saved preferences.

  • GDPR compliant
  • AI never touches your data
  • No sensitive data persisted

Phase V · Report submission

The review loop, closed.

Every draft climbs to managers who work overtime as the senior analyst: spotting the mistakes, sending it back, reading it again. The feedback only lives in the manager's memory and the diligent analyst's notebook. 

Analyst Manager as senior analyst submits report spots mistakes, sends back Feedback rewrites × every draft, every analyst re-drafting it, themselves — perfecting the language, spotting the mistakes delivers — eventually

The friction

  • The manager spends senior hours, round after round, perfecting each report until it is fit to submit.
  • Feedback is retained mentally or in notes, if the analyst is diligent. This means errors consistently return.
  • The loop repeats identically for every analyst. Nothing guarantees that what is learned from one review transfers to the next.

The profile built across phases I–IV is now used to update the Gator Senior Analyst, which provides a custom checklist to the analyst. 

The analyst sends their report to MS Copilot alongside this checklist. 

This means the manager receives a report that has already been reviewed, against this analyst's own known habits and weaknesses. 

Employee profile built in phases I–IV informs Gator Senior Analyst reads profile & case type MS Copilot Kroll's own tenant Analyst shapes the review process Case Type Provides tailored checklist draft · check · fix Manager final touches only submits — at the end adds to the profile once back only if a new pattern appears delivers

What changes

  • Automating the senior analyst; Gator Senior Analyst reads the profile and the case type, then creates a checklist for this analyst to enter into the MS Copilot, alongside their report. No report text leaves Kroll's environment.
  • The analyst drafts and checks the report with Copilot at hand, guided by Gator's checklist. The review becomes their own responsibility.
  • The manager still signs off every report, but the checklist ensures the analyst self-completes their review.
  • Recurring mistakes stop recurring. Once noted in the profile, the pattern feeds the review every time.

The profile is now doing the work it was collecting for — and the manager's feedback keeps it sharp.

V · Reports Kroll todayThe manager perfects every draft Kroll + ITBProfile-driven checklist, the manager final-touches
∑ The data Kroll todayThrown away — again, with every hire Kroll + ITBCompounds — every hire makes the next review cheaper

The profile can't be backfilled. It will never fully know the analysts who start before it does.

Built for scrutiny

The profile is performance data about employees, so it is designed for exactly that conversation. Kroll's data, held in Kroll's environment, visible to the analyst it describes, scoped to training and review — shaped to clear GDPR and works-council review before the pilot starts.

Nothing new on the desktop

The review checklist arrives inside the MS Copilot Kroll already runs, and report text stays where it lives today. Analysts open ITB for training, and nothing else changes.

A pilot that can say no

Fixed fee, ends on a date. If the profile hasn't earned its place, you keep the benchmark results — the first hard numbers on what review actually costs — and we leave quietly.

The ask

Start with one wrap.

A four-week pilot wraps a single phase of your next real intake. We recommend the written test — nothing to install, nothing to migrate, and the profile gets its first page. The wrap proves itself in a month. The compounding shows up with every hire after.
