We use our records research protocol to quickly and effectively determine the suitability of potential contributors, partners, investors, staff, or other prospective associates.

We go well beyond news clips, mining vote records, meeting video and audio, transcripts, performance audits, and countless other sources to document officeholders’ accomplishments or identify their shortcomings.

We work with your team to integrate our research into existing messaging, and to shape the messaging based on the research. Additionally, we have drafted news releases, website content, and entire reports for release to reporters and the public.

We utilize a wide range of reports, filings, and databases to determine the true record of a large corporation, small business, nonprofit, or other entity, beyond what their own materials or news reports say.

Effective public records research requires equal familiarity both with a web of online databases and the basement hallways of local government office buildings. We conduct thorough on-site and online public records searches, for everything from criminal histories to building permits. Our expertise allows us to identify and obtain many records that others may not even know exist.

We are always on call to help craft fact-based, on-target responses to attack ads, negative news coverage, and other adverse developments.

From Facebook and Twitter to Internet comments boards and Amazon wish lists, the online world provides ample opportunities for posts that would raise the public’s eyebrows. We review thousands of online messages to identify the handful that may prove controversial.
