Investigations · from $9
Making a decision about a company, supplier or partner? Get it investigated, with sources, before you sign.
Ask one question. Get back what the public record says: filings, contracts and grants, lobbying, political money, recalls and courts, each finding linked to its source, plus CSVs.
Proof: the same methods behind Flock Safety's federal money, Alphabet's $147B in outside money and a Congressional candidate's $17M in loans.

Good questions to send
- "Can this supplier actually deliver? Who else buys from them, and have they been sued or recalled?"
- "Who does this company lobby, which politicians do its staff fund, and what federal money does it get?"
- "This startup says it has a $40M Army contract. Does it?"
- "How has this vendor's pricing moved over three years?"
Limits
- Public records only. Private companies with no federal footprint leave thinner trails; we tell you what we could and could not find.
- Investigations about a private person are only accepted with a clear business reason, and are always reviewed by a person before release.
- Federal records first. State filings and courts are included where they have public search.
