01
Identity and address history
Resolve name variants, location history, business associations, and other lawful identity signals relevant to the accepted scope.
Background investigation
Research the person or entity around the decision you actually need to make.
Alpha Dog organizes identity, court, business, public-record, and open-source findings around a disclosed lawful purpose so relevant information is separated from noise, duplicate identities, and unsupported assumptions.

Open-source review

06
Source-aware report
Organize findings, relevance, known limitations, and recommended follow-up without presenting database output as certainty.
Before work begins
Disclose how the information will be used.
The purpose affects what can be accepted, what authority or certification may be needed, and which process is appropriate. Start with the person or entity, jurisdiction, decision, deadline, and known identifiers—without emailing highly sensitive data.
Regulated eligibility decisions
This public background-research option is not represented as an FCRA-compliant consumer report. Employment, tenant, credit, insurance, licensing, benefits, or another eligibility use must be disclosed before work begins and may require a separate compliant process or may not be accepted.
Important limitation: public and commercial-source data can be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or linked to a different person. Findings require identity review, source context, and human judgment. No outcome or record match is guaranteed.
