Building toward a licensed private investigation agency
An AI investigator with a full digital forensics lab
SleuthX is not yet a licensed private investigation agency; licensure is in progress.Describe what happened in your own words. Our AI investigator examines your accounts and devices, builds a defensible report, and walks you through the fix, one that holds up for police, insurance, and court.
Private and confidential. We don't sell, share, or train models on your case data.

SleuthX
The AI investigator that starts with forensics. If it’s digital, it leaves a trail — and it follows it: accounts, devices, money, and the connections between them.
How SleuthX Works
Input. Agent. Output.
SleuthX ingests data from your accounts and devices, analyzes it with an AI agent built on a working forensics methodology, and escalates to senior human examiners when the case demands it.
Ingest data from accounts and devices
- Account logs (email, cloud, banking, social)
- Device artifacts and screenshots
- Phone, computer, and forensic captures
Analyze with the AI agent
- Classify what's a real compromise vs benign
- Reconstruct the timeline of activity
- Surface the root cause hypothesis
Deliver a structured report
- Compromise classification + severity
- Clear next steps you can act on
- Court-admissible report when needed
When a case needs human judgment, SleuthX escalates to the practitioner team of Quinn and Alex, who oversee every output before it leaves the system.
Deliverables
What you get
Every SleuthX engagement produces the same five deliverables. No mystery, no scope creep.
Compromise classification
Real vs benign, with severity. Tells you whether something actually happened or whether the alarm was noise.
Timeline of activity
What happened, in what order, on which device or account. Reconstructed from logs, artifacts, and forensic captures.
Root cause hypothesis
How the compromise started, whether phishing, SIM swap, reused password, OAuth grant, malicious app, or insider access. Evidence-backed.
Clear next steps
What to do this hour, this week, and this quarter. Specific to your situation, not a generic checklist.
Structured report (legal-ready optional)
Written for non-technical decision-makers. Court-admissible chain of custody when you need it for litigation, insurance, or law enforcement.

Plain terms
What we are, and what we are not
A digital forensics practice with an AI investigator at the center. Credentialed examiners, documented chain of custody, explainable findings you can verify, and court-admissible reports under FRE 901/902. When field work is needed — backgrounds, locates, physical surveillance — we coordinate with licensed private investigators. Lawful, confidential, on your side.
Spyware, stalkerware, or a way to secretly monitor another person. We do not “hack back,” promise guaranteed money recovery, or touch any account or device without its owner's lawful authorization. We decline engagements that ask us to.
The Stack
Forensic depth at the center. Protections wrapped around it.
Most consumer cyber suites bolt monitoring on top of more monitoring.
SleuthX inverts the stack. The AI investigator and the credentialed examiner signing off on findings are the work we own. Identity monitoring, dark-web monitoring, breach response, restoration concierge, and identity-theft coverage layer in underneath.
AI investigator
Investigates accounts and devices end-to-end. Compromise classification, timeline reconstruction, attribution, and clear next steps. Plain-language intake; deep-investigator depth on demand. Every step is explainable, the agent shows its evidence, and findings are verified before they ship.
Court-ready reporting
Findings that hold up in court, police filings, and insurance claims. Signed off by a credentialed forensic examiner before they leave the practice.
Methodology engine
The DFIR playbooks the industry charges enterprises five and six figures for, encoded and run automatically. Stalkerware, account compromise, wire fraud, SIM swap, romance scam, identity theft, more.
Identity monitoring
Continuous credit-bureau-grade monitoring across all three bureaus, SIM-swap alerts, and account-takeover detection. Same data the major monitoring services use, layered into the agent.
Dark-web monitoring
Continuous scan of breach corpora, paste sites, and underground markets for your credentials, accounts, and exposed data.
Restoration concierge
Full-service identity-theft remediation team for active incidents. Disputes, filings, recovery, and direct work with creditors and law enforcement on your behalf.
Identity-theft coverage
Carrier-underwritten reimbursement coverage for losses, legal fees, and recovery costs — alongside the personal cyber insurance coordination we offer today. Coverage limits and terms set with the carrier at launch.
Building toward a licensed private investigation agency
Today SleuthX is AI digital forensics, and digital forensics is not regulated under private investigator licensure. SleuthX is not yet a licensed private investigation agency. Our founder is the principal applicant for a Florida Class C private investigator license, which is in progress, and SleuthX is building toward licensed private investigation agency status. When a matter needs licensed field investigation, we coordinate it through the licensed private investigator partner network. Every statement about licensure on this page is forward-looking; when that status changes, this language changes.
One investigator. One platform. The forensic layer is what we own; the monitoring infrastructure underneath is licensed from category-leading providers and integrated as the suite ships.
