Digital intelligence before you commit.

Analyst-led investigative due diligence. Before your firm takes on a claim, an insurer backs it, or your organisation commits to a critical decision — Extant examines what is already publicly known, and reports only what matters.

Illustrative — timeline of public activity

The most expensive discovery is the late one.

A firm can commit thousands of pounds in legal time, medical evidence and expert fees before anyone examines a claimant's public digital footprint. Insurers and funders can put money behind a claim on the same blind spot. The information was available on day one. Extant exists so it is seen on day one.

Screening tells you what exists. Extant tells you what matters.

Standard screening produces volume: a long, generic report of a subject's digital footprint, leaving your team to find what is relevant. Extant works the other way round. Every engagement starts from your specific objective. Experienced analysts investigate across social media and the wider open web, connect fragmented information, corroborate findings and assess their significance — then preserve the relevant material in an evidentially robust, court-aware format. Less material. More meaning.

Beyond the obvious accounts

Relevant material rarely sits neatly on a subject's main profiles. When it exists, it can be scattered anywhere across the wider open web — in places a routine search never reaches. Every subject is different: where the material sits, and whether it exists at all, can only be established by looking properly. That takes an investigator, not a search box.

The Extant Report

A scoped initial investigation against your specific objective. Structured, source-referenced findings — and where the record warrants deeper enquiry, we say so plainly and define the scope.

The Extant Investigation

Full-depth investigation across the open web: corroboration, connection analysis, and evidential capture preserved in court-aware form.

Every Report either closes the objective or recommends an Investigation with defined scope. You are never left with raw material and no direction.

01Claims due diligence — for firms, insurers and funders, before money goes behind a claim.

02Employment screening — employee and appointment checks raised to an investigative standard.

03Bespoke enquiries — defined-objective enquiries for firms and organisations.

"Extant reports what the record shows. It does not allege, accuse or judge. The decision remains where it belongs — with the professional."
