From initial consultation to the delivery of your intelligence report, every engagement follows a structured, transparent methodology. Here is exactly what to expect at each stage.
Our four-stage process is designed to be thorough without being opaque. At every step, you will know what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what the expected timeline looks like. We treat each case as unique — the steps below are consistent, but the analytical approach within each stage is tailored to your specific situation.
Every case starts with a detailed consultation. We listen to what happened, review the evidence you have available, and assess the scope of work required. This stage determines whether our services are a good fit for your situation and allows us to provide an honest assessment of what analysis can realistically achieve. You receive a clear written proposal with pricing and timeline before any work begins.
Once the engagement is confirmed, we begin systematic evidence collection. This includes gathering blockchain transaction data, archiving website content and platform details, pulling WHOIS and DNS records, capturing social media profiles, and extracting metadata from any communications you have shared with us. We guide you through submitting materials securely and explain exactly what each piece of evidence contributes to the analysis.
This is the core of our work. Our analysts apply blockchain forensic techniques, open-source intelligence methodologies, and cross-referencing protocols to piece together the full picture. We trace fund flows across wallets and exchanges, identify patterns that connect infrastructure to known fraud operations, and construct detailed timelines of how the scam unfolded. Every finding is documented and sourced.
The final deliverable is a structured intelligence report containing all findings, supported by visual diagrams, annotated evidence, and clear explanations. The report is designed for use by law enforcement, legal counsel, and regulatory bodies — no specialist knowledge is required to understand it. We walk you through the findings in a closing briefing and advise on the most productive next steps based on what the evidence shows.
After your initial consultation, we provide instructions for secure evidence submission. We accept materials through encrypted file transfer and can guide you step-by-step through the process. We never ask you to send sensitive documents via standard email. All evidence is handled under strict confidentiality protocols.
We are transparent about the limitations of each case from the outset. During the Review stage, we assess the available evidence and give you an honest appraisal of what analysis can realistically uncover. If we believe a case has limited analytical potential, we will tell you before you commit. In situations where findings are inconclusive, the report will clearly state what was examined, what was found, and what barriers prevented further progress.
CTL Analysis does not act as your representative in dealings with law enforcement, banks, or any third party. Our reports are structured specifically to be useful to those authorities, and we can advise you on how to present the findings effectively. If your legal team or an investigating officer needs clarification on any aspect of the report, we are happy to provide it directly.
Yes. Our blockchain forensic capabilities cover Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, and a range of other networks. Cases involving cross-chain transactions, token swaps, or bridging between networks are routinely handled. The complexity of multi-chain analysis may affect the timeline, which we account for in the proposal stage.
Digital evidence degrades quickly. Websites go offline, wallet addresses get shuffled, and transaction trails grow cold. Starting the analytical process early preserves the data that matters most.
