Person Investigation Composer
One page that wires every identity tool around a single subject, name, alias, email, phone, username, city, and auto-creates an investigation profile.
The person investigation composer is the workflow tool. It takes any subset of identifiers you have for a person and orchestrates every relevant identity tool around the same subject, accumulating findings into an auto-created investigation profile.
It is the right starting point when you have some information about a person and want to deepen it without manually clicking through five separate tools.
Inputs
You provide any subset of:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Real name | First / middle / last |
| Alias / pseudonym | Pen name, nickname, scene name |
| One or several | |
| Phone | One or several |
| Username / handle | One or several |
| City / region | Where the subject is based |
| Country | When relevant for jurisdictional context |
| Date of birth / year | When known |
The more fields you provide, the deeper the composer's auto-orchestration.
What the composer does
For each provided identifier, the composer triggers the appropriate downstream tools and aggregates the results:
| If you provided... | The composer runs... |
|---|---|
| Name + city | Deep links to public people-search engines per locale (TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch, Whitepages for US; 192.com for UK; Pages Blanches for FR; etc.) |
| Email analyzer + breach-domain check + permutator (generates handle candidates from the local part) | |
| Phone | Phone lookup |
| Username | Username sweep across thirty-plus platforms, plus permutator-derived variants |
| Image / photo URL | Photo-clustering candidate, reverse-image composer for matched results |
A reverse-pivot table cross-references discovered profiles with their public photos, then deep-links those photos into the reverse image composer to confirm cross-platform identity matches.
Auto-created profile
When you run the composer, the toolkit auto-creates an investigation profile named after the subject. Every finding the composer produces lands in the profile with full provenance, the same as if you had pinned each finding manually.
This is the single largest workflow saving in the toolkit. A typical "I have a name and an email and a city" case produces fifteen to twenty findings across six tools in one run, all pinned to a fresh profile and ready for review.
The composer is also the right way to re-run an existing case. Open an existing profile, click the composer's "re-investigate" action, and the composer re-runs every prior tool with the same inputs, surfacing what has changed since last time.
Per-locale public-records deep links
The composer ships with a locale-aware list of public-records engines:
| Locale | Engines |
|---|---|
| United States | TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch, Whitepages, Justia, CourtListener |
| United Kingdom | 192.com, BAILII |
| France | Pages Blanches / Pages Jaunes |
| Australia | AustLII |
| Canada | CanLII |
| EU-wide | EUR-Lex |
| Genealogy | FamilySearch, Wikitree |
| Academic | Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearchGate |
| Government / corporate | SEC EDGAR (US), OpenCorporates |
The composer constructs deep-link URLs (with the subject's name and locale pre-filled) and opens them in your browser when you click each link. The composer does not scrape these engines, you visit them directly.
What the composer does not do
- Aggregating data from paid people-search aggregators. PimEyes, Spokeo paid, BeenVerified, out of scope.
- Live face recognition. No biometric matching across photos.
- Combining identifiers without your input. The composer does not invent identifiers, it only orchestrates against the ones you provide.
Pivots
The composer's results pivot the same way the underlying tools' results pivot. Click any value in the auto-created profile and the standard pivot menu opens.
Sources
The composer's sources are the union of every tool it composes:
- Email analyzer and breach lookup → HIBP-related sources.
- Phone lookup → bundled libraries (no network).
- Username sweep → per-platform direct probes.
- Photo clustering → image-hashing tools (no external network).
- Public-records deep links → URL constructors only; you visit the engines yourself.
Every source is named on the corresponding finding inside the auto-created profile.
