Interviews and Other Intelligence
If appropriate to your case, all relevant sources will be interviewed - for example, former co-workers, business affiliates, neighbors, acquaintances, opposing parties in litigation, etc, These parties can often provide opinions and information on the subject's business and reputation.

Field Investigation
In certain instances field observations of a business or residence location may be needed to verify information represented by the subject. It may also be necessary to visit record repositories or to make in-person inquiries in order to gather information.
