Bespoke Investigations
Tailored investigations for unique challenges
At Satori Intelligence, we recognise that some cases require a flexible and custom approach. Our bespoke investigations are designed for complex or unique challenges that don’t fit neatly into predefined categories. We work closely with you to create a solution that aligns with your specific needs and objectives.
Our bespoke investigations cover a wide range of matters, including genealogy research, personal credit data reports, connections between individuals and entities, fraud related matters and misconduct enquiries, and overseas investigations, which are always scoped and quoted on a case-by-case basis, alongside any case that requires a tailored combination of our core services.
Comprehensive solutions for any scenario
Whether you need a combination of our core services, or something outside the ordinary, we can piece together every part of the puzzle, crafting a solution to meet your specific needs. Our bespoke investigations cover a wide range of scenarios, such as process serving, fraud investigations, employment tracing, and genealogy research. We work closely with our clients to understand the nuances of their case and design an investigation that is focused, thorough, and effective. We have the expertise to combine multiple investigative methods, the latest software, and use both traditional and modern techniques to uncover the critical information required. Whether the task is straightforward or unconventional, our approach ensures that no stone is left unturned in providing you with the answers or evidence you need.
How we support bespoke investigations across various sectors
Bespoke investigations are designed for matters that do not fit neatly into a single category, or that require a combination of our core services to properly address, and their scope is shaped by the sector, the nature of the instruction, and, where relevant, the number of jurisdictions involved. Beyond these examples, bespoke investigations exist to address the matters that fall outside our standard service categories, or that require several of our core services working in combination, including personal credit data reports, genealogy research and connections investigations. Many of our bespoke investigations also span more than one jurisdiction, drawing on our international network of in-country agents and sources to trace assets, individuals, or intelligence beyond the UK. Where a case does not fit clearly into any single area, we work closely with the client to design an investigation focused on the specific facts, objectives, and evidential requirements of the matter at hand.
-
Complex or multi-jurisdictional insolvencies frequently require asset tracing, due diligence, and personal credit data reports to be combined into a single investigation, particularly where a subject has used layered corporate structures, connected parties, or phoenixing activity to obscure their true position across more than one entity or jurisdiction. Where assets or entities are held offshore, we draw on our international network to extend the investigation beyond the UK as required.
-
Where a debtor has proven evasive, we combine people tracing, employment tracing, asset tracing, and personal credit data reports into a single, coordinated investigation, ensuring that a debtor's location, income, realisable assets, and existing debt obligations are established together rather than pursued as separate, disconnected enquiries. Where a debtor or their assets are believed to be located overseas, this work extends into multi-jurisdictional enforcement support.
-
Our work in this sector often involves building evidential packages that combine asset tracing and due diligence enquiries in support of civil fraud, misuse of position, or contempt proceedings, drawing together multiple strands of intelligence into a single, coherent body of evidence capable of supporting the wider claim, including across multiple jurisdictions where a dispute involves parties, assets, or corporate structures based outside the UK.
-
Instructions in this sector frequently combine asset tracing and due diligence enquiries, encompassing connections investigations to identify undisclosed interests or conflicts of interest, internal fraud and misconduct investigations involving misuse of position or false invoicing, and construction sector investigations, including contractor fraud and background checks on developers or principal contractors. Where a company or counterparty operates across borders, our enquiries extend accordingly.
-
Where family relationships need to be established or verified, we conduct genealogy research, tracing lineage and family connections to support the wider matter, including where relevant records or family members are located overseas.
-
We are engaged to conduct genealogy research to establish entitlement, verify relationships, or identify potential claimants, and to undertake intestacy investigations where no valid will exists and the heir hierarchy requires establishing. Our work also extends to tracing parties in connection with contentious probate or estate administration matters, including cross-border estates where assets, records, or beneficiaries are located in more than one jurisdiction.
-
We are frequently instructed to combine due diligence and connections investigations as part of wider succession planning, family office onboarding, or reputational risk management, ensuring that background intelligence, beneficial ownership, and potential conflicts of interest are assessed together rather than in isolation, including where the individuals, structures, or interests concerned span multiple jurisdictions.
-
Where suspected fraud spans multiple households, properties, or business entities, we combine people tracing, due diligence, and covert field enquiries into a single coordinated investigation, providing local authorities with a complete evidential picture rather than a series of disconnected findings.
