ENHANCED DEEP-DIVE SUBJECT INVESTIGATION
[SUBJECT FULL NAME - INVESTIGATION TITLE]
The Enhanced Deep-Dive is the escalation product above the Standard Subject Dossier: maximum-depth, multi-jurisdictional, multi-source collection - open, licensed/gated, deep-web, multi-country public records, and discreet human-source/field inquiry - to deliver an exhaustive, source-graded characterization of the subject for a high-stakes decision (key appointment, major investment/partnership, litigation, K&R, counterparty onboarding). It carries machinery the standard dossier does not: collection tiering, beneficial-ownership mapping, source-of-wealth reconstruction, extended (2nd/3rd-degree) network risk analysis, reputation/integrity assessment from human sources, and deception/concealment analysis. It does not perform directed-threat scoring (Subject Threat Assessment), litigation-grade forensic asset recovery (Financial Intelligence & Asset Tracing), current-whereabouts location (Locate & Skip-Trace), or engagement/elicitation strategy (Approach & Engagement Profile). Where those needs arise, route them as RFIs in §19.

|---|---|---|---|
| [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [Match / Overstated / Fabricated / Unverifiable] |
7. Corporate Interests & Beneficial Ownership
Entities the subject owns, controls, directs, or benefits from - including offshore, nominee, and trust structures. Map ownership and control, not just named directorships. This is investigative beneficial-ownership analysis; litigation-grade forensic tracing routes to Financial Intelligence & Asset Tracing.
[Insert ownership/control diagram - subject at center; entities, jurisdictions, %, nominee/trust layers, control vs. economic interest.]
| Entity | Jurisdiction | Reg. # | Subject’s Role / Interest | Control vs. Economic | Status | Source Grade |

| [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [Owner/Director/UBO/Nominee-behind] | [ ] | [Active/Dormant/Struck] | [ ] |
Structure observations: [Layering, nominee/trustee use, opacity, shared infrastructure across entities, jurisdiction-shopping indicators.]
8. Source-of-Wealth & Financial Profile
Reconstruct how the subject’s wealth was accumulated (source of wealth - relational) and, where in scope, the origin of specific funds (source of funds - transactional). Test the reconstructed wealth narrative for plausibility against known income and career. Flag undisclosed/hidden-asset indicators. Investigative depth - not a forensic recovery action.
Source-of-Wealth Reconstruction
| Wealth Event / Source | Period | Description | Substantiation | Source Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [e.g., sale of business] | [ ] | [ ] | [Substantiated/Partial/Unsubstantiated] | [A–F/1–6] |

| Observable lifestyle vs. known/claimed means | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Financial-stress / adverse (liens, judgments, insolvency) | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
Hidden / Undisclosed Asset Indicators
Indicators of concealed wealth - nominee holdings, offshore layering, unexplained transfers, lifestyle-income mismatch. Indicators, not adjudications; carry to §13/§19.
[Narrative.]
Source-of-wealth status: [Substantiated / Partially substantiated / Unsubstantiated / Concerning] - [basis].
9. Network & Association Analysis (Extended)
Extended relationship mapping to second and (where warranted) third degree, with association-risk characterization. Surface hidden relationships, conflicts of interest, PEP/sanctions adjacency, and shared infrastructure.
[Insert extended network/link chart - degrees of separation, relationship type/direction/strength, risk-coded nodes.]
| Associate / Entity | Degree | Relationship | Basis | Risk Relevance | Risk (1–25) | Source Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ ] | [1st/2nd/3rd] | [ ] | [ ] | [PEP/Sanctions/Criminal/COI/Reputational] | [score] | [A–F/1–6] |
Network observations: [Key intermediaries, clusters, beneficial-ownership overlaps, undisclosed relationships, sanctions/PEP proximity, conflicts of interest.]
10. Reputation, Integrity & Conduct Assessment
Character, integrity, professional standing, and conduct - from documentary record and discreet human-source inquiry. Human-source reporting is attributed only by protected sub-source code (see Source Protection Annex) and graded for reliability/credibility. Distinguish corroborated reputation from single-source opinion.
Documentary Reputation Findings
[Narrative.]
Human-Source / Field Reputation Findings
| Sub-Source (coded) | Access / Vantage | Reporting Summary | Reliability (A–F) | Credibility (1–6) |

| [SRC-2] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
Integrity & Conduct Assessment
Synthesis: integrity, reliability, conduct, derogatory lifestyle/vices relevant to the requirement, professional reputation. Corroboration level stated.
[Narrative.]
11. Digital, Technical & Dark Web Footprint

Accounts & Identifiers
| Platform / Asset | Handle / URL | Attribution Confidence | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ ] | [ ] | [Confirmed/Probable/Possible] | [Active/Dormant] | [ ] |

13. Deception, Concealment & Discrepancy Analysis
Where the deep-dive earns its name: synthesize indicators of fabrication, concealment, and misrepresentation across all sections. Distinguish error/omission from deliberate deception. This is analysis, not accusation - graded and caveated.
Master Discrepancy Matrix (Claimed vs. Verified)
| # | Claimed / Represented | Verified Reality | Discrepancy Type | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-1 | [ ] | [ ] | [Omission/Overstatement/Fabrication/Identity/Asset] | [Deliberate / Likely / Indeterminate] |

Severity rollup: Critical: [#] | High: [#] | Medium: [#] | Low: [#]
16. Quantified Risk Matrix (Decision-Relevant)
Scores the risks relevant to the client’s relationship/decision (integrity, financial, legal/regulatory, reputational, association). This is NOT a physical/directed-threat assessment - that is the Subject Threat Assessment. Likelihood (1–5) × Impact (1–5) = 1–25.
| Risk Category | Likelihood (1–5) | Impact (1–5) | Score | Basis / Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrity / misrepresentation | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Source-of-wealth / financial | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Legal / regulatory / sanctions | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Reputational | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Association / network | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |

- Assessment: [Retained / weakened / rejected.]
Hypothesis 2: [Statement]
- Evidence for: [ ]
- Evidence against: [ ]
- Assessment: [ ]
Hypothesis 3: [Statement]

18. Key Assumptions Check & Premortem
Key Assumptions Check
Load-bearing assumptions, made explicit and stress-tested.
| # | Assumption | Basis | Confidence | Impact if Wrong |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-1 | [ ] | [ ] | [H/M/L] | [ ] |
| A-2 | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
Premortem / Devil’s Advocate
High-stakes discipline: assume the central judgment is later proven wrong. How were we deceived, what did we miss, which source misled us, what would a hostile review attack? Name the most dangerous unexamined possibility.
[Narrative.]
19. Collection Gaps & Intelligence Requirements (RFIs)
What could not be obtained/verified, its impact, and how to close it. Out-of-scope needs (threat scoring, forensic asset recovery, skip-trace, approach strategy) routed here to the appropriate product.

|---|---|---|---|
| [ ] | [ ] | [Method / e.g., “Financial Intelligence & Asset Tracing”] | [HIGH/MED/LOW] |
Verification pending: [Outstanding requests as of as-of date.]
