No, I think we never had those resources and I do recall going way back, I think it was an academic in Trinity, Jonathan Westrup, I think was his name, who, you know, did pose the question: who guards the guardians, so to speak?

And I think it wasn't well-equipped, neither in having access to the information nor the analytical armoury at its disposal.
