What investigators say.

“The citation trail alone earns its keep. I used to spend an afternoon reconstructing my own work product when opposing counsel pushed back on a finding. Tracelight ships that audit trail by default.”

“I run a one-person PI shop. The closest enterprise platform wanted $48k/year and a six-month onboarding. I paid $49 and ran my first real case the same afternoon I signed up.”

“Cross-case intelligence caught a fraud-mill we'd been chasing manually for six months. Same address showed up across 11 unrelated claims. Worth the subscription on that one finding.”

“We use it for source vetting before publication. Cross-platform identity correlation in 60 seconds vs an hour of LinkedIn scrolling per source. The pre-publication audit trail is what sold our editor.”

“The Slack integration changed how my team operates. We dropped /tracelight email lookup queries into our investigations channel and got cited results back in under a minute. No more screen-shared OSINT review meetings.”

“Pre-employment screening with the FCRA workflow baked in is what we needed. Consent capture, adverse-action notice templates, audit log — all done correctly without us having to build it ourselves.”
