The Problem: The "Location" Gap

Traditional investigation firms often struggle to maintain effective surveillance or conduct deep-dive background checks in high-density areas and "black locations" across South Africa.

The Risks for Insurers:

Security risks preventing physical site visits.

Language and cultural barriers during witness interviewing.

"Paper-thin" investigations that result in fraudulent payouts.

Lack of local intelligence networks.

Core Specialized Services

1. Surveillance for Disability & Personal Injury

Obtaining high-definition surveillance footage of claimants performing physical activities inconsistent with their reported level of impairment. I provide the visual evidence required to defend against exaggerated claims.

2. Independent Claim Vetting

Conducting physical site visits and witness testimony verification in locations where internal investigators may find access difficult or unsafe.

3. Background & Policy Stacking Analysis

Identifying patterns of "policy stacking" where multiple funeral or life policies are taken out on a single individual by non-family members or syndicates.

4. Asset Recovery & Vehicle Theft Verification

Investigating the validity of vehicle theft claims by cross-referencing physical evidence with the claimant's version of events in township environments.
