Some clarity, to begin

Your questions.
Clear answers.

Knowing what an investigation can establish is a useful place to start.

What information is useful for an initial review?

A short account of what happened, approximate dates, payment or transaction references, and relevant communications. You do not need every detail to begin organising your case. Never include passwords, private keys or wallet seed phrases.

Can blockchain analysis recover my funds?

Blockchain analysis can help establish where supported digital assets moved within the observable record. It cannot reverse a confirmed transaction or guarantee recovery. An assessment may help identify whether a legitimate next step exists.

Does a wallet address identify the person involved?

No. A wallet address alone does not establish a person’s identity or legal ownership. Any relationship between blockchain activity and an individual needs appropriate supporting evidence and verification.

Is every case suitable for investigation?

No. Suitability depends on the facts, available records and proposed scope. A careful assessment explains what can be examined, what remains uncertain and whether further work is appropriate.

Do you guarantee identification or recovery?

No. Outcomes depend on the specific circumstances, available evidence and applicable procedures. Our approach is to set realistic expectations and make the limitations clear from the beginning.
