Research a Speaker or Expert
Build a background brief on a speaker, expert witness, or advisor using publicly available information.
Verify an Individual's Background
Research publicly available information about a person before a hire, partnership, or meeting.
Tool
Before a key hire, business partnership, or high-value deal, you need to know who you are dealing with. A name on a CV or LinkedIn profile is a starting point, not a verification. Finding corroborating evidence across public web sources takes hours of scattered searching.
The deep_search and osint_search skills aggregate publicly available information from web sources — professional profiles, news mentions, public records, and other OSINT data — into a coherent picture. You can cross-reference claimed experience against public evidence and identify inconsistencies that warrant follow-up.
HR teams vetting senior candidates, investors evaluating founders, and legal teams checking counter-parties use this to build a fact-based profile before making a commitment.
