About AS Autopy.
AS Autopy is a one-person OSINT practice run by a private investigator with five years of field experience. The work is deliberately narrow: surface what's already public, verify it, and put it in front of you in a form you can use.
I started this practice after years of seeing the same problem repeat itself: decisions made on rumour, screenshots, and half-finished Google searches. The answers were almost always sitting in plain sight — court dockets, registries, archived pages, business filings — but no one had the time or the discipline to pull them together.
That's the job. I work case-by-case with attorneys preparing for filings, founders vetting partners and investments, HR leads validating senior hires, and individuals dealing with quiet, personal matters that deserve a careful hand.
Philosophy
Every claim in a report is sourced. Every source is timestamped. If a finding can't be cited, it doesn't make the report — it goes into a separate "leads to verify" section so you know what's solid and what isn't.
I don't pretext, impersonate, or touch anything protected. There's a long catalog of lawful tools and public records that — used patiently — usually answer the question anyway.
Legal-first
Public records, open web, lawful tooling. Nothing that crosses a line.
Confidential
Written NDA on every engagement. Findings stay between us.
Cited
Sources, screenshots, capture dates — built for review by counsel.
Scoped
Clear written scope before work starts. No drifting hours.
