Top-Rated investigative journalist and researcher helping documentary channels, investigative media platforms, law firms, and PR firms uncover verified information, investigate companies and individuals, analyze public records, and produce evidence-backed investigative reports through OSINT methods, source verification, public-record analysis, and structured investigative reporting.

If you need a freelance investigative journalist who can verify sources, trace corporate records, analyze public databases, and turn fragmented information into structured, evidence-backed reports, I can help.

My work speaks for itself. Across projects, I consistently:
• Conducted investigative reporting involving corporate entities, aviation companies, executives, financial relationships, and cross-border business structures using OSINT methods, public records, and regulatory filings.
• Produced evidence-backed investigative reports involving fraud allegations, reputational investigations, corporate structure analysis, executive background investigations, and entity relationship tracing.
• Researched and developed investigative reports using public records, regulatory filings, archived sources, company databases, and OSINT workflows to support documentary-style reporting and publication-ready investigative narratives.
• Delivered structured investigative findings by reconstructing timelines, verifying conflicting claims, tracing corporate affiliations, and organizing fragmented information into defensible research summaries.
• Reduced misinformation and credibility risks by cross-checking claims across multiple databases, archived web records, public filings, and source documentation.

In a typical day, I use a number of investigative research tools, platforms, and databases for my work:
✓ Open Corporates
✓ Corporation Wiki
✓ Company House UK
✓ Better Business Bureau (BBB)

✓ Microsoft Excel
✓ And many more

My services include:
• Investigative Journalism Research
Research and reporting support for investigative articles, exposés, documentary projects, nonprofit investigations, and long-form editorial work.

• OSINT & Public-Record Investigations
Public-record analysis using court filings, government databases, regulatory filings, archived records, and open-source intelligence methods.

• Documentary & True-Crime Research
Case sourcing, timeline reconstruction, police and court record analysis, and investigative research for YouTube documentary and bodycam channels.

• Corporate & Executive Investigations
Executive background research, ownership tracing, corporate relationship mapping, and entity verification using public databases and regulatory filings.

• Fact-Checking & Source Verification
Verification of claims, timelines, identities, archived content, and source credibility using traceable and documented evidence.

- OSINT research
- Public-record investigations
- Corporate due diligence analysis
- Executive profile verification
- Investigative journalism research
- Litigation support research
- Source verification
- Fact-checking

+ Strong source verification discipline
+ Structured research workflows
+ Editorial-grade written analysis
