Selective matter access

Detailed matter intake.

Complete this second-stage form only after Aperture has indicated that the matter may fit.

A real person will consider the question, intended decision, available evidence, appropriate scope, jurisdictional and professional boundaries, and whether Aperture Research Works is the appropriate service for the matter.

PRIVATE FIT REVIEW · NO FEE · NO ENGAGEMENT UNTIL ACCEPTED.Aperture assesses fit, lawful use, capacity and scope before any matter is accepted. No paid work begins until terms and fees are agreed.

Built to move quickly

Focused scope. Less friction. Earlier decision clarity.

Aperture is remote-first and built around tightly defined questions, structured digital evidence workflows and technology-assisted discovery. That operating model can allow us to move quickly when a decision is time-sensitive, while people still control the evidence evaluation, challenge process and final judgement.

Actual timing depends on scope, source availability, complexity, jurisdiction, client response, specialist dependencies and settled payment. Speed never replaces verification.

No site visits or field deployment delaysFocused evidence universe rather than unnecessary breadthTechnology accelerates finding, organising and comparing materialHuman evaluation and approval remain mandatory

Private matter consideration

Access begins with fit.

Aperture reviews each prospective matter before accepting it. We consider the seriousness of the decision, whether independent evidence work can add value, lawful-use and jurisdictional constraints, conflicts, source availability, professional boundaries and current capacity.

Invitation, referral or direct approach are all acceptable routes.
Submission does not create an engagement or guarantee acceptance.
Client and matter information is handled on a controlled, need-to-know basis.
We do not ordinarily publish client identities or engagement details.

Keep this reference in the subject line of emails relating to this enquiry.

Submitting this form does not create an engagement. Aperture first assesses scope, lawful authority, jurisdiction, feasibility, available evidence, conflicts and any need for legal or specialist review.

Language and jurisdiction are separate. Choosing a website or communication language does not determine the law that applies to a matter. We use your stated country and relevant jurisdiction(s) to assess licensing, sanctions, privacy, data protection, professional boundaries and whether any locally regulated component requires limitation, referral or specialist involvement.

Do not submit passports, identity documents, medical records, criminal-history material, bank details, immigration files or other sensitive evidence through this initial form. This enquiry is used first for fit, purpose, jurisdiction and regulatory screening.

Time-sensitive matter? State the real deadline and time zone in the form. Aperture can move quickly on suitable scopes, but no substantive work begins until the accepted pre-commencement amount has settled and the timetable has been confirmed.

Language, translation and document-format notice: English is the standard, preferred and governing working language. You may communicate with us in your own language and should tell us if language is a barrier. We will try to assist with translated outgoing communication. Final documents are normally produced in English and may, where agreed, also be supplied in another language so that the work is usable in the client’s language environment. The English version remains authoritative. Translation, PDF rendering, pagination, fonts and editable-document layout can vary between software, devices, printers and later edits. You may request Word or a comparable editable format. Aperture Research Works remains responsible for the approved research content it delivers, but not for rendering differences, conversion errors or changes introduced later by the client or a third party. Read the full language and format terms.

Do not upload privileged, highly sensitive or evidentiary material through this initial form. Aperture will advise on an appropriate transfer process after suitability and scope have been considered.

Purpose and lawful-use confirmation

I confirm that the requested output will not be used for employment, promotion, retention, credit, insurance, residential tenancy, consumer eligibility or statutory background screening. I confirm that the purpose is lawful, that I am authorised to request the work, and that I will not repurpose the output for an excluded or regulated use. I will not submit privileged, classified, export-controlled, protected-health, regulated financial-customer or other restricted material through this initial enquiry. I confirm that information I provide is, to the best of my knowledge, accurate, complete in all material respects and not intentionally false or misleading, and that I will disclose material contrary information known to me.

An enquiry remains subject to jurisdictional, intended-use, licensing, sanctions, data, conflict and professional-boundary review.

Read the US assignment acceptance policy

I understand that acceptance may depend on jurisdiction, licensing, sanctions, privacy, data-protection, regulated-screening and professional-boundary review.

Initial regulatory triage

Please answer at a high level only. Do not upload or paste sensitive evidence here. These questions help determine whether the proposed work can be accepted and what review is required.

State / province, where relevantPrimary subjectCould the output affect employment, housing, credit, insurance or similar eligibility?Does the matter concern alleged criminal or unlawful conduct?Do you expect to provide non-public personal information?Could the material include health, biometric, financial-account, criminal, classified, export-controlled or similarly restricted information?Is litigation pending or contemplated?Do you want Aperture to contact, locate, interview, follow or observe anyone?Does the requested outcome require legal, investment, accounting, medical, engineering or another regulated professional opinion?Are you aware of any sanctions, export-control or restricted-party issue connected to the matter?

Lawful purpose and authority I confirm that I am authorised to request this work for the stated purpose. If I later provide material, I will provide only information I am lawfully entitled to disclose to Aperture. I will tell Aperture if the intended use, subject, jurisdictions or nature of the material changes.

Submission does not create an engagement. Aperture Research Works accepts a matter only after scope, jurisdiction, lawful-use and regulatory review. A matter may be accepted, accepted with restrictions, accepted with an appropriate specialist partner, deferred or declined.

Prepared matter request

If your mail app does not open, copy this prepared matter request and email it to info@apertureforensic.com.

You do not need to design the investigation yourself.

Tell us what decision, claim, transaction, dispute or uncertainty needs examination. Aperture can help define the Central Question, required evidence and smallest responsible scope.

Submission is not acceptance

Every proposed matter remains subject to lawful-authority, jurisdiction, sanctions, privacy, licensing, evidence-access, conflict and professional-boundary review. Aperture may accept, restrict, phase, defer or decline a matter.

External contact is not included by default.

External letters, third-party enquiries, interviews, subject contact and right-of-reply requests require separate written scope where appropriate. Clients should ordinarily make those contacts themselves or through their appointed professional and provide the resulting material to Aperture.
