Forensic research dossiers connecting the dots organizations want to keep hidden — every claim traced to primary public references, delivered in days not weeks.
Your competitors have made strategic moves you haven't seen coming. Fundings that don't match press release narratives. Executive hires that signal pivots before they're announced. Corporate structures hiding relationships between entities across jurisdictions.
Most teams evaluate competition through a surface lens — product pages, pricing pages, press releases, the LinkedIn org chart everyone has already seen. The difference between winning and losing strategic deals often comes down to understanding what's happening under that surface. That's what we deliver.
Legal structure, subsidiaries, board composition, key personnel — mapped through corporate registries and regulatory filings you'd never find in a quick search.
Funding history cross-referenced against actual spending signals, burn indicators, and cash position estimates that go beyond headline funding numbers.
A chronologically mapped history of pivots, leadership changes, product announcements, and inflection points — so you understand how they got where they are.
Compliance flags, litigation patterns, regulatory exposures, and reputation signals that competitors bury in public records no one typically checks.
15+ specific datapoints with primary-source URLs, archive links where available, and confidence ratings so you know which findings drive decisions immediately.
Specific outreach context derived from the research — the exact talking points that show your counterpart you understand their situation better than they expect.

A **forensic intelligence dossier** is a structured report on one target organization, built exclusively from open-source, publicly verifiable records — corporate registries, SEC filings, patent and trademark filings, court dockets, ITC import records, and the archived press. Every single finding carries a source URL and a retrieval date, so your reviewer can open the evidence in seconds. No paywalled databases, no social engineering, no pretexting.
One complete forensic dossier on one target organization. Good for vetting a single prospect, partner, or threat before committing resources. One intake, ~2 business days, dossier + executive brief + 14-day follow-up window.
Three complete forensic dossiers with cross-reference analysis. The cross-reference section is where the bundle pays for itself — the patterns only show up when you look at three targets at once.
Continuous monitoring of up to 15 tracked organizations: alerts on material developments plus periodic deep updates. For teams that manage risk or opportunity at scale.
Name the organization(s) you want profiles on. Brief us on context — competitive analysis, deal preparation, strategic planning. We calibrate depth and angle based on what drives action. We refuse the job if the target has no public footprint or the use case involves employment, credit, or FCRA-regulated screening.
We pull from regulatory databases, court records, financial filings, professional networks, and public archives — documenting 15+ source URLs with retrieval timestamps before a single finding is written, then cross-referencing everything against multiple sources.
A structured intelligence report — every finding sourced with traceable references, confidence ratings on each claim, an Assumptions & Basis section documenting every inferential leap, and a 14-day follow-up window for interpretation questions.
A target organization name and a use case. That's the whole input. We work from public records only — no internal data, no CSV exports, no access to your systems.
Everything is open-source: corporate registries (OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR, Companies House), patent and trademark filings, PACER and county court dockets, ITC import records, archived press, and public earnings-call and interview records. Every source is one your reviewer can open without a login. We do not use social engineering, pretexting, or restricted-access data.
No. We explicitly do not perform FCRA-regulated screening, and we will not support employment, credit, or lending decisions. This is business-intelligence research; clients in regulated contexts retain their own legal counsel.
Every finding cites its source URL and retrieval date, and carries a confidence grade (High = multiple independent sources; Medium = one credible source plus corroborating context; Low = early indicator needing validation). The dossier's Assumptions & Basis section states every inferential leap explicitly. If a claim can't be traced to a source, it isn't in the report.
We say so in the report. Sparse sourcing is documented rather than padded — you get an honest "here is everything that exists" instead of a confident thin one. Targets with a minimal digital footprint may take 30–50% longer to research thoroughly.
Citation discipline and entity mapping. A fast researcher can find the obvious; we document the retrieval trail so it survives review, and we catch the same-name entities, subsidiaries, and alias companies that make a quick Google pass confidently wrong.
Take the readiness scan above right now — 90 seconds, in-browser, nothing collected. And every paid package begins with a free preliminary scan of one target at no charge: entity map, filing inventory, and the top 3 intelligence gaps — the cheapest way to see what a full dossier would surface before you buy it.
