Research and the conversion of raw information to usable intelligence – this is what drives the success of our investigative environment.   Our methodologies have evolved over years of experience developing and managing information for application in a wide array of situations such as integrity monitoring / private sector inspector general operations, individual and business due diligence backgrounds, litigation related assessments, and workers compensation claims.    The determination to exhaust every discovered lead coupled with knowledge of relational database theory and functionality provides our clients with content rich, detailed results presented in highly structured and interactive reports.

 

While many other operators in the industry rely solely on third party proprietary databases that compile consumer reporting and public record information for their research efforts, Acumen Probe LLC recognizes the shortcomings of these systems and considers the validity of such information within that context. After initially vetting subjects in these indices to develop lead information we take the process a step further by conducting examinations within primary source repositories made available by government agencies and private sector companies to guarantee the accuracy and recency of reported information. When not available electronically, on-site researchers or employment of the respective jurisdiction’s Freedom of Information laws further support our information acquisition standards.

 

Our approach to the investigative research process involves multiple phases that normally include an identification phase and an index review phase.  The identification phase establishes a base set of intelligence to fully frame the subject, discover relevant topics of exploration such as business and personal relationships, and zero in on geographical areas that should be taken into consideration and included in the analysis.   Various classes of records are then researched during the index review phase, often covering such areas as bankruptcies, litigation and criminal histories at the state and federal level; property and other asset holdings, regulatory actions against persons and businesses, tax liens, and political and social networking activities.
