person-research

Research who a person, company, project, organisation or product actually is. Use for "who is X", "what do we know about them", due diligence before messaging, meeting, hiring, buying from, partnering with or investing in someone, and for "is this site, seller, or offer legit" checks. Identity and aliases come first, then official sites and primary accounts, then current role and status against stale mentions, then what they say, make, and what others say, with verified facts kept apart from inference and reputation. Dispatch deliberately: resolve before you search and finish in a structured brief.
