The Problem: The High Cost of False Information

False information is not harmless. It can have serious real-world consequences for both individuals and businesses.

• For Individuals: A false rumor or a defamatory post online can harm your personal relationships, your career, and your mental well-being. If you are making a big life decision based on something you were told, you need to know if it’s true.
• For Businesses: Misinformation can be a weapon. A competitor could spread false rumors about your products, a fired employee could post fake negative reviews, or “industry secrets” could be leaked to damage your stock price. This can lead to lost customers, a damaged brand, and serious financial losses.

In these situations, you need to fight back with the truth. A professional fact-check is the first step. This is a key part of modern reputation management.

What We Investigate: From Online Rumors to Business Secrets

Our fact-check service can be used to verify a wide range of claims and information. We help you get clarity on the things that matter most.

We can investigate:

• Anonymous Online Posts: If someone is making damaging claims about you or your business on an anonymous forum (like 2chan/5chan), social media, or in a blog comment, we can work to verify the claims and, in some cases, identify the person behind them.
• Workplace Rumors and Misconduct: A toxic rumor can poison a workplace. If you are a business owner and hear about potential employee misconduct, a discreet internal investigation can establish the facts without causing a panic. This is a key part of our corporate investigation services.
• Business and Industry Claims: Is a potential partner being honest about their company’s success? Is a competitor spreading false information about your business? We can conduct in-depth research to verify these claims. This is a crucial element of business due diligence.
• Personal Information: Before you enter a serious personal or financial relationship, you might want to verify the other person’s story. Our fact-checking can be a part of a personal background check.

Our Methods: How We Uncover the Truth

A professional fact-check is much more than a simple Google search. We use a combination of expert analysis and classic detective work.

1. In-Depth Digital Research: We start by analyzing the claim online. This includes open-source intelligence (OSINT), searching deep web forums, and analyzing the digital footprint of the post or claim. We look for the original source of the information and track how it has spread.
2. Expert Analysis: Our investigators are trained to spot the signs of fake news, doctored photos, and manipulated information. We cross-reference claims against reliable data sources to check for inconsistencies.
3. On-the-Ground Verification: This is what makes our service different. If a claim is about a real-world event, we can send an investigator to the location to verify it. We can discreetly interview people, take photos, and confirm if what was said online matches the reality on the ground.
4. Clear, Objective Evidence: We do not provide opinions. We provide you with a report that contains the clear, objective evidence we have found. Our goal is to give you the proof you need to stand by your claims with confidence.
