Workflow notes
This collection is for journalists, investigators, and analysts who start with a thin identity clue and need to build confidence without pretending one lookup equals proof.
A name, handle, phone number, email address, profile image, or claimed employer needs careful corroboration before it becomes part of a story or case file.
People research has misidentification and harassment risk. Weak signals must stay private leads until direct profile context and independent corroboration support them.
