Our process for individuals
What determines the cost in private investigations?
The total cost depends, among other things, on the question, the degree of clarity desired, the predictability of patterns, and the number of deployments. A carefully constructed case file of digital research often makes the investigation more focused and can reduce the overall deployment.
Sample cases
Adultery investigation
A relative of the client suspected their partner of having an extramarital affair. Over two evenings, our investigators carried out discreet surveillance, objectively documenting the contact between the person under investigation and the third party involved.
Digital research (public sources)
In some surveys, a physical deployment is not necessary. When the question primarily focuses on online behaviors, networks or background information, digital research in public sources may be the answer. In this type of research, we carefully map relevant online information and analyze connections and patterns.
The findings are recorded in a structured and objective manner in a clear report, including source citations and a clear summary of the facts observed. This gives the client insight and guidance, without unnecessary effort in the field.
Cost: depends on scope
In advance, we always discuss what efforts are necessary and you will receive a clear cost estimate. We do not conduct any research without your approval. All amounts mentioned are exclusive of VAT.
