Investigation Methodology

Investigative Skill

An investigative Skill is a focused, repeatable investigation workflow that answers one defined research question — for example, which public profiles are potentially associated with a username, or what official records exist for a company. A Skill states what it needs from the investigator, what it delivers and what it cannot establish, so results are comparable from case to case. In Nexus, the Skill Library holds 47 investigative Skills in 7 categories covering research, identity, business and risk, media, internet infrastructure, Web3 and relationship analysis. Investigators can start from a Skill, describe their objective in natural language or run a direct lookup, and every Skill result links its findings to inspectable evidence.
