What is PoliticalCheck?

PoliticalCheck is a comprehensive framework developed by ValuesCheck for political candidate reputational risk assessment. It's used for political due diligence, candidate vetting, and political competency evaluation before electoral processes, appointments, or institutional designations.

The methodology is built on inductive analysis of 300+ real-world political crisis cases, ensuring comprehensive coverage of diverse political contexts. This empirical approach enables identification of patterns, recurring risks, and specific competency gaps.

  • Organizations: Due diligence for institutional appointments or board positions
  • Media outlets: Political background analysis for investigative journalism

How does PoliticalCheck work?

The framework classifies political crises into 11 main categories (corruption, incompetence, personal scandals, crisis management, etc.) and evaluates 9 core political competencies (ethical integrity, crisis communication, leadership, technical capability, etc.). Each documented case enables identification of risk patterns and specific weaknesses in candidate profiles.
