Case Assessment
An evidence-led review of your incident to determine what happened, what can be investigated, and where actionable leads may exist.
A structured first review of the available information.
Case Assessment is the starting point of every engagement. We review what you provide, verify key facts, and form an initial picture of the incident.
- Initial review of the incident narrative and timeline
- Verification of key facts and reported entities
- Identification of evidence gaps and available sources
- Assessment of whether actionable investigative leads exist
When you need clarity before committing to a full investigation.
A Case Assessment is appropriate when you are unsure what happened, what evidence you have, or whether a fuller investigation is warranted. It helps you understand the shape of the incident before committing further resources.
Review, verify, and assess leads.
- Chronology reconstruction from communications and records
- Transaction history review where digital assets are involved
- Review of digital artefacts and account activity
- Assessment of counterparties and known entities
- Determination of investigative leads and next-step options
A documented, defensible assessment process.
Every assessment follows a recorded, reproducible process so that conclusions can be explained to counsel, compliance teams, or law enforcement and withstand professional scrutiny.
- Written scope and objective definition agreed before work begins
- Provenance recorded for each item reviewed
- Chronology built from primary records, with observed facts separated from inferences
- Evidence gaps and areas of uncertainty explicitly marked, not minimised
- Peer review of the assessment before it is delivered
- Confidential handling consistent with applicable data-protection requirements
What we look at during a Case Assessment.
- Communications and message records
- Transaction confirmations and wallet addresses
- Account profiles and platform activity
- Reported URLs, domains, and contact details
- Supporting documents and screenshots
A clear assessment of your situation.
The deliverable is an initial assessment summarising what is known, what is uncertain, and where investigative leads may exist. It is designed to help you and your professional advisers decide on appropriate next steps.
To decide what to do next.
The assessment can support engagement with legal counsel, compliance teams, banks, or law enforcement, and can help determine whether a fuller investigation — such as blockchain tracing or digital forensics — is appropriate.
How an engagement begins
Submitting an enquiry does not create a client relationship or obligate either party. Any engagement is formed only through a separate written agreement that sets out the scope, deliverables and terms applicable to the work.
