Investigative Analytics


Some questions cannot be answered from an organization's own records.

01Overview

Through established partnerships, Acervus has access to a range of specialized commercial data sources not commonly available to investigators, counsel, or analysts. We apply these sources to specific, well-defined questions and deliver the results as analytical products, not raw data.

02How engagements work

  1. Define the question. Each engagement begins with a written statement of the investigative question, the authorized purpose, and the permitted use of results.
  2. Validate authority. We confirm the client's legal basis and permissible purpose before any source is queried.
  3. Analyze. Analysts correlate relevant sources, test the findings against each other, and document confidence and limitations.
  4. Deliver. Results are delivered as a written analytical product with methodology and sourcing notes suitable for review by counsel or supervisors.

03Who uses this capability

  • Law enforcement and public-sector investigators
  • Corporate and outside counsel
  • Transaction and risk teams

04Governance

  • Sources are licensed commercially and used within the terms of those licenses.
  • Access is limited to vetted clients with a documented, lawful purpose. Requests outside that standard are declined.
  • Every query is logged and attributable to an engagement.
