Threadkin.One custodian, both trails.
A discreet research agency established for principals whose digital and ancestral trails both require ongoing custody. The work pairs rigorous OSINT with credentialed genealogy — and the dossier closes the same way at every tier.
The practice
Three notes on how the work is held.
- 01Note
Discreet research agency.
Established for principals whose two trails — the digital footprint and the family lineage — both require ongoing custody. The practice is independent: no public case files, no lead-generation, no directory.
- 02Note
A dual-discipline model.
Footprint work runs on rigorous OSINT practice; lineage work runs on primary-source genealogical evidence under the Genealogical Proof Standard. Both are run by the same custodian, so the dossier closes cleanly at every tier.
- 03Note
A standing posture, not a footer.
Every engagement is held under a defined lawful basis, a bounded retention, and a written close-out. The work is built to be referenced, not re-done — and to be sealed on closing, not on demand.
Methodology — the backbone
The practice is the work. The work is the practice.
How the work is done is the four-section framework: OSINT source validation, genealogical evidence standards, the integration rule for dual-scope engagements, and the GDPR/CCPA posture that governs all research. A standing posture, not a footer note.
