Hourly Investigation
Many investigative assignments are conducted under a flexible hourly structure that allows clients to deploy investigative resources as needed. This model is commonly used when the scope or duration of work may evolve as new information develops during the investigation. Investigators are assigned based on the nature of the matter, geographic requirements, and the level of experience required. This structure provides clients with responsive investigative support for matters requiring discretion, adaptability, and ongoing communication as investigative findings develop.
Typical assignments include:
Surveillance operations
Witness and subject interviews
Background investigations
Asset and locate services
Field investigation assignments

Fixed Scope Assignments
When the scope of work can be clearly defined in advance, investigative services may be structured as fixed scope assignments. This format allows clients to obtain specific investigative deliverables with clearly established expectations regarding reporting and completion. Fixed scope engagements are often appropriate for targeted investigative tasks where the objective and deliverables are well understood. This approach provides clients with a predictable investigative framework while ensuring consistent documentation and professional reporting standards.
Examples include:
Service of process
Recorded statements
Targeted background reports
Document and record retrieval
Site inspections and verification

Our team can quickly assess your matter and outline a clear investigative path.
Investigative matters vary widely in scope, complexity, and operational requirements. For that reason, engagement terms are typically determined after an initial consultation and review of the circumstances involved. Factors that influence the structure of an engagement may include the type of investigation, geographic considerations, operational resources required, intelligence or data sources utilized, and the expected volume of investigative activity. This approach allows Origin to design investigative support that is appropriately scaled to the needs of each client while maintaining consistent investigative standards.
Most investigative matters begin with a confidential discussion regarding the nature of the issue and the objectives of the client. During this consultation, our team can review the circumstances of the matter and recommend an appropriate investigative approach. Contact Origin to discuss your situation and determine the engagement structure best suited to your investigative needs.
