HOW IT WORKS

From Submission to Decision.

Database platforms aggregate public records into searchable indexes. For a quick look at someone’s history, they serve a purpose. But for executive-level diligence, they have structural limitations that matter.

1
Step 1 — Submit

Tell Us Who You Need to Investigate.

Pick your submission method and the depth of investigation, then let us take it from there.
Enter orders individually, upload a batch, integrate via API, or send a link for subjects to submit themselves
Individuals need a legal name, location, and one identifier. Companies need a legal business name and HQ address.

Step 2 — Investigate

We Handle the Research From Start to Finish.

Research is handled from start to finish using database and investigator-sourced methods.
Database-sourced searches run automated matching across national criminal, civil, financial, sanctions, and media records
Investigator-sourced searches verify every match at the original source with supporting court documents included
