In-depth investigation
5 mandays
For situations where maximum clarity and complete interpretation are required, AOI offers an in-depth investigation as the highest analysis step within its services. Where the DIS framework structures digital signals and creates insight, an in-depth investigation goes further by deepening these insights, verifying them and placing them in full coherence. It combines digital analysis, contextual interpretation and deepened fact-finding into one integrated approach. The result is a substantiated and complete picture, built across all relevant facets of a person, organisation or situation. An in-depth investigation can be started directly, or it can build on an earlier DAOI analysis when additional interpretation or verification is required. It leads to a 360° insight that not only deepens, but also positions findings within the broader context in which decisions are made.
DIS analysis vs. In-depth investigation
| DIS (DAOI) Brings structure to complexity and makes visible what matters. | In-depth investigation Brings completeness and certainty in context. | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Layered and focused (per analysis step) | Complete (360° across all layers and contexts) |
| Depth | Targeted depth within a defined scope | Maximum depth across the full context |
| Approach | Analysis and interpretation of signals and patterns | Analysis, verification and integration across all relevant layers |
| Output | Insight and interpretation | Substantiated, validated and complete insight |
| Role | Provide direction for decision-making | Strengthen decision-making through completeness and certainty |
Insight connects. Depth completes.
Frequently asked questions
When is an in-depth investigation appropriate?
An in-depth investigation is appropriate when partial insight is not sufficient and complete clarity is required.
This is typically the case in situations with:
• high impact
• elevated risk
• or when decisions depend on a complete and substantiated picture.
What is the difference between a DIS analysis and an in-depth investigation?
A DIS analysis brings structure and interpretation to digital signals.
An in-depth investigation goes further by:
• deepening,
• verifying,
• and integrating insights with fact-finding.
The result is a complete and substantiated picture that holds up in complex contexts.
What does an in-depth investigation include in concrete terms?
An in-depth investigation combines digital analysis, contextual interpretation and deepened fact-finding within one integrated approach.
The scope is tailored to the specific context and question, with the goal of forming a complete and coherent picture.
How long does an in-depth investigation take?
An in-depth investigation is carried out over a fixed analysis step of 5 mandays.
This period allows insights not only to be generated, but also to be verified, deepened and placed in their full context.
Can an in-depth investigation build on an earlier analysis?
Yes. In-depth investigation is often used as a follow-up to an earlier DIS analysis when additional interpretation, verification or coherence is required.
However, it can also be started directly.
What is the result of an in-depth investigation?
The result is a complete, substantiated and validated picture of the situation.
This provides not only insight, but also the certainty and coherence needed to make decisions in complex or sensitive contexts.
How does an in-depth investigation relate to discretion and confidentiality?
Discretion and confidentiality are central to every phase of the investigation.
Each engagement is conducted within a strict legal and ethical framework, with attention to proportionality, limited information sharing and secure handling of all data and communications.
