Digital Hound

Open-source intelligence, done to a standard

Open-source intelligence for litigation and corporate matters.

Digital Hound builds a documented, sourced picture of people, companies, and counterparties using open-source intelligence: lawful research across public records and online sources, delivered as fully-cited written reports built to hold up in a dispute.

Request a consultation

Confidential. No obligation. Conflicts checked before any work begins.

Every report is numbered, sourced, and redacted where a matter requires it.

Engaged by national law firms and the corporate clients they advise. Every finding cited. Every report built to be read in a dispute.

What Digital Hound does

Three kinds of work.

How the work is done

Built to be defensible.

Lawful open sources only

Every finding comes from public, lawful sources or the documents you provide. No pretexting, no unlawful access.

Every finding cited

Each claim is traceable to its source and timestamped, so the report withstands scrutiny.

A documented method

The same repeatable process runs on every matter, and the report shows its work.

Handled with discretion

Findings are redacted where a matter requires it, and every engagement is treated as confidential.

The deliverable

A report built to be relied on.

Every engagement ends in a formal Digital Hound Report: a numbered, fully-cited written document. Each finding is traceable to its source and timestamped. It is written to be read by a court, a board, or opposing counsel, and to hold up when it is.

Before you commission anyone

What a defensible open-source report should include.

A short checklist of what separates a report that holds up from one that does not: lawful sourcing, citation, method, and chain of custody. Useful whoever you end up engaging.

Common questions

Before you reach out

What is OSINT, and is it lawful?
OSINT is open-source intelligence: research drawn only from public and lawful sources, such as the open record, public filings, and online information. Every Digital Hound engagement uses lawful open sources or the documents you provide. There is no pretexting and no unlawful access.
What do I receive at the end of an engagement?
A numbered Digital Hound Report. Every claim is cited to its source and timestamped, and the report shows the method behind each finding, so it holds up under scrutiny.
Can the findings be used in litigation?
Reports prepared for litigation are structured for it: findings, sources, timestamps, and a documented method behind each, with every finding traceable to a verifiable record. Counsel decides how the material is used in a given matter.
Is my matter kept confidential?
Yes. Initial conversations are confidential, conflicts are checked before any work begins, and findings are redacted where a matter requires it.
How does an engagement start?
With a confidential conversation about the matter and what you need to establish. The work is scoped, and conflicts are checked, before any research begins.

If a matter turns on who someone is, start with a conversation.
