What It Does

Professional-grade intelligence, on demand

Background Investigations

Comprehensive subject profiles assembled from public records, social media footprints, court filings, business registrations, and news coverage. Delivered as polished, client-ready reports.

Due Diligence Reports

Pre-employment screening, vendor vetting, and partner evaluation. Cross-reference multiple data sources to flag discrepancies before they become problems.

OSINT Research

Open-source intelligence gathering across the public web. Digital footprint analysis, domain ownership traces, and connection mapping between entities and individuals.

Person Search

Locate individuals using partial information — a name, an email, a phone number. We cross-reference public databases, social media, and business records to build a complete picture.

vs. Manual PI $3.98 per report vs. $500+ for an outsourced investigation. Deliver the same intelligence to clients, keep more margin.
vs. Inhouse research Eliminate 4–8 hours of manual OSINT work per case. Redirect analyst time to high-value interpretation, not data collection.
