Methodology

Using a structured, defensible workflow for online background reviews and digital investigations, every case follows the same disciplined process:

• Scope First: Define what is in‑bounds, what is out‑of‑bounds, and the legal matter the investigation is meant to inform.

• Baseline: Establish confirmed identifiers and historical context before any collection begins.

• Collection: Gather information from open‑source platforms, public records, and licensed investigative databases that require credentialed access.

• Verification: Corroborate findings through independent sources and contextual indicators.

• Documentation: Maintain clear records of sources, timestamps, and decision points. For matters where evidentiary integrity is critical, SHA‑256 hashes can be generated to verify that files have not been altered.

• Analysis: Translate raw data into timelines, patterns, and relevant observations.

• Clear Reporting: Findings are presented in a clear, structured format so attorneys can quickly understand the key points without sifting through noise.

• Ethical Boundaries: Operate strictly within legal, licensing, and platform requirements.
