# OnTrial — Full Reference > Last updated: 2026-10-04 > Canonical URL: https://www.ontrial.ai > Legal entity: OnTrial, LLC > License: Texas DPS Private Investigations Company license #C31261501 (Tex. Occ. Code 1702; expires 2027-06-30) --- ## What OnTrial is OnTrial is a licensed investigations and intelligence firm. Our investigators and analysts — every one a veteran of the U.S. military or law enforcement — use proprietary data access and technology to deliver background investigations, asset searches and cryptocurrency tracing, due diligence, geolocation intelligence, social media intelligence, and surveillance for attorneys, capital allocators, compliance teams, private investigators, protective teams, and private clients. OnTrial is not a software vendor: it does not sell or license software. Its proprietary technology and data access are used in-house by its investigators and analysts, and clients request and receive their reports through a secure client portal. Every case is intelligence-led, analyst-verified, and delivered with documented chain of custody. Every internal role at OnTrial is held by a veteran of the U.S. military, federal law enforcement, or state / municipal law enforcement — by mandate. Track-record figures — including $100B+ in assets and crypto located since 2015 — reflect the team's casework, including work before OnTrial was founded. OnTrial is SOC 2 aligned and FCRA, GLBA, CCPA, and California SB 1454 compliant. Client data is never used to train AI models. Inputs sent to AI processing are never stored (zero data retention); operational processing logs auto-delete within 24 hours; finished case files are kept in secure, access-controlled storage. --- ## Who OnTrial is for **Litigation firms** — civil litigation, business trial bar, plaintiff and defense, AmLaw and solo.

Geolocation analyst reports are provided only to vetted clients OnTrial actively serves — not to the general public. **Geolocation · Pattern of Life:** device-level pattern-of-life analysis — home, work, and frequented locations; routines and travel patterns; behavioral anomalies and counter-surveillance behavior; unknown associations; which devices were present at a place and time; timeline reconstruction.

URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/social-media ### Surveillance & Field Operations OnTrial Field Operations deploy licensed surveillance operators, witness canvassers, and field investigators for activity checks, sub-rosa surveillance, AOE / COE investigation, witness location, and scene documentation. Built for insurance defense fraud claims, civil litigation, corporate internal investigations, and family-law matters. **Operating principle:** every field engagement is intelligence-led. Operators deploy after a Background 360 and a Flash Geolocation analysis, so they enter the field with precision rather than speculation. Intelligence-led planning reduces time in the field — fewer hours waiting means better outcomes for client budgets. **Operators:** every field operator is a former law enforcement officer or U.S. military veteran with years of in-craft experience. Case managers who plan operations have personally conducted extensive fieldwork. Licensed and insured to strict standards. Global reach with consistent case-management standards. **Use cases:** insurance defense (workers comp, long-term disability, premises liability, auto fraud — AOE/COE workups, sub-rosa surveillance, EUO support), corporate investigations (internal theft, policy violations, employee misconduct), operational integrity verification, family law, litigation support (witness statements, scene documentation, activity surveillance). URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/field ### Due Diligence & Pre-Investment Subject Diligence OnTrial Due Diligence delivers pre-investment subject diligence on principals, founders, borrowers, and acquisition targets. Two tiers — Level 1 comprehensive screening, with **a 48-hour average turnaround** built for private credit closings, VC term-sheet decisions, and PE acquisition timing, and custom Level 2 enhanced business intelligence. Level 1 — Comprehensive Screening covers one company plus up to three principals (additional principals can be added): identity, criminal, civil, watchlist, regulatory, and adverse-media screening with analyst verification. It requires the subject's signed authorization and averages a 48-hour turnaround. Level 2 — Enhanced Business Intelligence is a custom-scope engagement, quoted individually: discreet source inquiries, forensic digital analysis, beneficial-ownership and OFAC 50 Percent Rule analysis, ground-truth verification, and an intelligence briefing with dossier. The timeline is agreed at scoping. China and APAC due diligence is described separately below (https://www.ontrial.ai/china-due-diligence). **Use cases:** pre-investment vetting (private credit, VC, PE), M&A diligence, executive appointments, distressed asset acquisition, partnership screening, cross-border principal diligence. URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/duediligence ### Cryptocurrency Tracing Cryptocurrency tracing is the investigative work of tying a person to exchange accounts, payment apps, and wallets, then following on-chain flows to identify where digital assets went and who holds them. OnTrial delivers analyst-verified tracing with a ranked list of who to subpoena and what to ask for. Cryptocurrency tracing is a custom-scope engagement on retainer, with no fixed turnaround; scope and timeline are agreed at intake. **Methodology:** crypto exchange and payment-app account discovery, wallet attribution, ENS names, transaction flows to labeled exchange wallets, and on-chain sanctions exposure. Each link between person and address is sourced and analyst-verified. **Starting point:** - **Global CryptoScan** — A separate, fixed-turnaround account scan that identifies potential cryptocurrency-exchange and payment-app accounts, and ENS names, linked to a subject's known identifiers. It is not on-chain tracing, but it is often where a tracing engagement starts. Turnaround: 4–5 business days standard; rush 2–3 business days. **Use cases:** concealed assets in civil litigation, judgment enforcement (locate the debtor, map accounts, property and crypto, and arm counsel for debtor exams and turnover motions), undisclosed crypto in bankruptcy estates, fraud and scam recovery, divorce asset tracing, and on-chain sanctions exposure screening. URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/cryptocurrency-tracing ### Skip Tracing & Locates OnTrial skip tracing locates people whose whereabouts are unknown — hard-to-find witnesses, heirs, debtors, and missing parties — for counsel, judgment creditors, bankruptcy trustees, estate administrators and fiduciaries, and insurers. Every locate is analyst-verified, with permissible purpose confirmed up front. **Methodology:** True identity, aliases, and address history developed from premium investigative databases, nationwide criminal and civil records, and county-level court research; cross-referenced against liens, judgments, bankruptcies, UCC filings, licenses, and voter and vital records; device location intelligence (pattern of life) applied when the records go stale. Debtor locates are paired with asset searches for judgment enforcement and recovery. **Use cases:** locating fact witnesses before deposition, locates that support service of process, heir and beneficiary searches for estate administration, debtor locates for judgment enforcement, debtor and insider locates for bankruptcy trustees, missing-person locates handled for counsel or fiduciaries. URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/skip-tracing ### Online Harassment Investigations OnTrial Online Harassment Investigations attribute anonymous accounts, messages, and threats to the real people behind them — through breach, infrastructure, and social pivots — and build the record for legal action. Built for counsel in defamation, harassment, extortion, and trade-secret matters, corporate counsel and security teams whose executives or brand are targeted, and family offices acting through counsel. **Methodology:** Breach and stealer-log intelligence links pseudonyms to real people, surfaces secondary emails and phones, and shows where a subject keeps accounts. Hidden accounts, aliases, forums, messaging channels, and dark-web mentions across 700+ platforms; carrier and line-type intelligence, recycled-number detection, and email validation; domain registration history, certificates, passive DNS, and hosting pivots. Content is captured with timestamps and archived for use as exhibits. Every finding is analyst-verified. **Use cases:** unmasking anonymous accounts in defamation matters, attributing anonymous extortion threats, identifying who is targeting an executive or principal, linking impersonation accounts and lookalike domains to operators, tracing anonymous leaks in trade-secret matters, preserving harassing content as timestamped exhibits. URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/online-harassment-investigations ### China & APAC Due Diligence OnTrial China and APAC due diligence investigates companies, principals, suppliers, and partners in mainland China and the Asia-Pacific — ownership and control, state affiliation, sanctions and PEP exposure, litigation, regulatory history, and adverse media — from native-language Chinese and APAC registry, court, and customs records. China and APAC reports are bilingual, with ownership diagrams and a scored risk summary. **Methodology:** company, officer, and beneficial-ownership data across 140+ jurisdictions and offshore-leak databases; native-language registry, court, and customs records; global sanctions, watchlists, politically exposed persons, regulatory actions, and multilingual adverse media, with every hit adjudicated before it is reported. Supply-chain review covers ownership, state affiliation, forced-labor, and export-control red flags for Chinese and APAC suppliers and partners, reported factually. **Use cases:** pre-investment diligence, M&A counterparty and principal review, private credit borrower and guarantor diligence, vendor and supplier onboarding, joint-venture and distributor partner vetting, ultimate-ownership mapping behind offshore holding structures. URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/china-due-diligence ### OSINT & Investigative Support for Law Enforcement and Prosecutors OnTrial provides passive OSINT and investigative casework for law-enforcement agencies and prosecutors' offices — subject attribution, subpoena targeting, legal-process drafts, and sealed, encrypted case files. Collection is passive and designed not to alert the subject. Clients and operators are never named, and vendor sources never appear in deliverables. **Methodology:** Collect (licensed, passive collection designed not to alert the subject) → Fuse (purpose-built AI reconciles hundreds of records in minutes) → Verify (investigators confirm each finding and grade it confirmed or candidate) → Deliver (sealed, encrypted case files through the secure client portal, with multi-factor login and per-case access controls). Every capture is SHA-256 hashed, time-stamped and logged, with archived source citations and chain-of-custody manifests. **Components:** subject attribution (anonymous accounts, threats, phones, emails and domains attributed to real people through breach, infrastructure and social pivots); subpoena targeting (which carrier, platform, exchange or provider holds the records, and a ranked list of what to request); legal-process drafts prepared for agency investigators and prosecutors to review and file (OnTrial does not issue legal process); device location and pattern of life (redacted for health-facility visits); vehicle and license-plate intelligence (registered-owner lookups, reverse DMV, license-plate-reader sightings) under DPPA permissible-purpose controls; cryptocurrency tracing. Agency casework is passive collection only — no field or surveillance work. **Engagement:** Pay per-report or per-project — no subscription or monthly fees. Procurement-reviewable documentation is available on request, and a sample redacted case file walkthrough is available to verified agencies on request.

URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/for-fraud-examiners --- ## Where OnTrial fits — the comparison The investigations market is fragmented by design. OnTrial differs from each of the four common alternatives: - **Vs database vendors:** Database vendors sell access to records; the buyer assembles the workflow and the chain of custody. OnTrial delivers a verified report — premium non-public data paired with OSINT, cross-referenced, analyst-verified, with documented chain of custody. Fixed price per report or per project, not subscription plus internal hours. - **Vs traditional P.I. shops:** Legacy P.I. firms bill hourly with manual workflows and methodology that varies by operator. OnTrial runs every engagement through one documented operating discipline — defined sourcing, analyst verification, a veteran or LEO case manager accountable end-to-end — at fixed cost. - **Vs DIY in-house workflows:** Teams can assemble investigations from public databases, court filings, social media, and commercial sources, but the work product lacks documented sourcing and chain of custody for evidentiary use. OnTrial replaces the assembled stack with one vendor, one invoice, one accountable case manager, and litigation-ready output. - **Vs general litigation-support firms:** Multi-service litigation-support firms treat investigations as one service line, where depth depends on the individual operator. Investigations are the entire focus of OnTrial — methodology and standards apply equally to every engagement. URL: https://www.ontrial.ai/why-ontrial --- ## Operating standards - **100% veteran & LEO operated** — every internal role at OnTrial is held by a veteran of the U.S. military, federal law enforcement, or state / municipal law enforcement. By mandate. - **Active or prior government clearance** required for every internal-role employee, plus ongoing security screening. - **Conflict-free and independent** — first-right-of-retention conflict-avoidance standards.

Architectural commitment, not policy preference. - **Zero data retention on AI processing.** Inputs sent to AI processing are ephemeral and never stored; operational processing logs auto-delete within 24 hours; finished case files are kept in secure, access-controlled storage. - **Human-in-the-loop on every finding.** A veteran or LEO case manager reviews and an analyst verifies every finding before delivery. AI does not sign off on output. - **Defensible for outside counsel guidelines.** Built to satisfy AI-use, data-handling, and vendor-management provisions in modern OCG and engagement letters. Procurement-reviewable documentation on request.
