Our approach to successfully mining facts for the truth is founded upon three steps:

Documents

There is always a trail to be uncovered and to be pursued. It may be straight-forward, or sometimes, convoluted and intricate.

Knowledge

Knowing when to keep pursuing a trail, or when to stop and start a different direction, is something that requires the instincts and the relentlessness of a seasoned veteran. There seems to always be a certain “logic” employed by a person who lacks integrity. This understanding directs our efforts upon specific lines of research. This we do very, very well.

Analysis

Once the end of the trail has been reached, it is imperative that the results are compiled and reported in a manner that is clear, concise and easily understood. This is an art born of immense experience and specific expertise.
