Process
A disciplined path from intake to actionable intelligence
Each matter is different, but our workflow keeps evidence, analysis, and options aligned—so you know what is confirmed, what is uncertain, and what may come next.
What to expect
The stages below describe how we typically progress when a case warrants full investigation. Early steps may conclude that available evidence is insufficient for meaningful tracing, or that procedural windows have closed—we say so plainly.
Nothing in this process guarantees asset recovery. Success depends on evidence quality, how funds moved, platform cooperation, and applicable law.
Investigation workflow
Seven stages from first contact to structured follow-up.
01
Initial Assessment
Review the loss narrative, timelines, asset types, and immediate risks. Determine scope, urgency, and whether investigation is viable before deeper work begins.
02
Evidence Collection
Gather transaction identifiers, platform exports, wallet addresses, communications, and device-related artifacts—without collecting seed phrases or credentials that could increase exposure.
03
Blockchain Analysis
Trace flows across relevant chains, label services where attribution data exists, and note mixers, bridges, or obfuscation that affect interpretability.
04
Intelligence & Attribution
Correlate on-chain results with OSINT, infrastructure clues, and known scam patterns to refine hypotheses about platforms and actors—always distinguishing proof from likelihood.
05
Strategic Assessment
Summarize findings, gaps, and realistic constraints. Outline which institutional, civil, or law-enforcement channels may be relevant given jurisdiction and custody.
06
Action Pathways
Where appropriate, support referrals, reporting packages, or coordination with counsel and compliance teams. We do not impersonate authorities or guarantee freezes.
07
Documentation / Follow-up
Deliver memos, charts, and evidence indexes suitable for legal review or institutional requests. Follow-up tracing may continue if new data surfaces.
Services that support each stage
Investigation clarifies facts and options; it does not promise recovery. Read our disclaimer before relying on any summary of possible outcomes.
