HOW IT WORKS

From Submission to Decision

The level of diligence is your call, and you can change it later. What stays constant is that a person stands behind what reaches you, whether that means confirming a flagged hit belongs to your subject or pulling the record from the courthouse.

1
Step 1 · Submit

Tell us who you need us to look at

Choose how you send subjects and which tier fits, then hand it over.
Order one at a time, upload a batch, use the API, or send subjects a link to submit themselves
People need a legal name, location, and one identifier. Companies need a name and address
2
Step 2 · Search

We do the searching and the sourcing

What we run depends on the tier you chose, and so does the depth of confirmation.
Automated searches match national criminal, civil, financial, sanctions, and media records in minutes
On investigator tiers, we pull the record from the court or registry and include the source documents

Step 3 · Act

Get a report built for decision makers

Read it, work through the findings, and pass it on in a form other people can use.
Findings arrive in plain English, labeled active or dismissed, with the source documents attached
Download it, share it with your team, or deliver it under your own brand with white-label formatting

TIERED DEPTH MODEL
