Bad data leads to bad decisions. Businesses lose money on unvetted suppliers, waste outreach on unverified contact lists, and make hiring or partnership calls based on information nobody actually checked. Automated scrapers make it worse — they pull outdated or wrong data and break the moment a site changes its layout. I fix that by doing the research manually, with OSINT tradecraft — so what you get is verified, current, and actually usable. I'm a researcher specializing in OSINT investigations, due diligence, and structured data collection. Recent work includes a 1,000+ entry Indigenous athlete database with fully sourced references, executive contact profiles used in B2B gifting campaigns for US tech companies, and background/due diligence checks for individuals and companies. I also led end-to-end supplier sourcing and vetting for an Australian apparel brand — including Alibaba supplier research and quality benchmarking — proof that the same verification rigor holds up on high-stakes procurement decisions, not just information research.

MY APPROACH Before starting, I ask clarifying questions to lock down scope, format, and success criteria — so you're not paying for rework. Larger projects are broken into milestones with progress updates. A NOTE ON ETHICS All data comes from publicly available sources using ethical, non-intrusive methods. I don't access private accounts, bypass paywalls, or use unauthorized data, and I'll flag it if a request would require me to.
