Active Incident? 24/7 Response →
SleuthX

Which path is right for you?

Both paths run the same forensic methodology — the difference is who does the work, and how hands-on you want to be. Run the SleuthX tool yourself for $995 once, lifetime access, or hand the whole case to a credentialed examiner and have it done for you.

Run it yourself if…

  • You’re comfortable working a phone or computer and want answers fast at the lowest cost.
  • The matter is for your own peace of mind, not headed to court.
  • You want to keep the tool and re-run it on every future incident.

See the self-serve tool, or take the product tour first.

Have an examiner do it if…

  • You’d rather not touch the device, or you only get one chance to collect it correctly.
  • You need it done quickly, or the matter may end up in a legal process.
  • You want a documented, court-ready report a credentialed examiner stands behind.

Hire a digital forensic examiner

When you’d rather not run it yourself, hand us the case. A credentialed examiner takes the investigation end to end — collection, analysis, and a written report with numbered exhibits — and reviews every finding before it leaves the practice.

What done-for-you means

  • We collect the device or accounts you own or are lawfully authorized to access, with tamper-evident handling and a documented chain of custody.
  • A credentialed examiner runs the analysis and signs off on the findings.
  • You get a plain-language, court-ready report with numbered exhibits an attorney can file.

A credentialed examiner is not a licensed private investigator, and examiner review is not a guarantee of admissibility — that is always the court’s decision. Expert testimony on the methodology is available separately, arranged for your matter rather than bundled into the package. This service is not a substitute for a full forensic examination of every device in a matter, or for contested-litigation expert testimony; we flag it on the triage call when a case needs more than a standard engagement.

What it costs

Run it yourself for $995 once, lifetime access, or have an examiner do it for you. Done-for-you from $2,000 · 1/3/5 devices · incl. $995 license · $400/hr beyond. Final scope is set on a free triage call. The pricing page has the full breakdown.

What every done-for-you engagement includes

  • Written scope before any work. You see a written scope — deliverables, timeline, and price — and approve it before we begin. You are never billed for work you did not authorize.
  • We commit to findings, not outcomes. We tell you up front what the evidence can and cannot establish. Recovery, attribution, and prosecution are decided by banks, platforms, insurers, and courts — we produce the record they act on, and we put that distinction in writing.
  • We will tell you if you do not need us. If a free or simpler step — a police report, an IC3 filing, a platform's own recovery flow — would resolve your situation, we point you there first.
  • A credentialed examiner runs and reviews your case. Your investigation is run and reviewed by a credentialed examiner and documented to chain-of-custody standards, with a court-ready report you can hand to an attorney. Examiner review is not a licensure guarantee, and expert testimony is arranged separately, not bundled.
