about the unit
Independent, documented, accountable
TRIARC OSINT is an independent digital investigations group that conducts OSINT-based investigations into online misconduct and provides documented findings to affected communities, organizations, and individuals so they can make informed moderation and safety decisions.
Evidence discipline
Every case runs on a numbered file with preserved artifacts, an audit trail of investigator actions, and permanent logging of edits and retractions.
Proportionality
Findings are scoped to the conduct reported. We do not expand an investigation into a subject's unrelated private life.
Service to communities
Our output exists to help moderators, organizations, and individuals make safety decisions — not to entertain an audience.

Casework is reviewed upward. Sensitive actions — deleting a subject record, retracting a logged action, releasing case records — require sign-off from command and generate an integrity alert.

Oversees approvals, integrity review, and workload distribution.
Lead Investigator
Owns complex cases and reviews retractions and subject-record changes.
Senior Investigator
Handles multi-subject and cross-referenced investigations.

handling of findings
Who gets the report
Completed findings are released only through a formal records request, approved by the Head or Assistant Head of Investigations. Requests record the requester, the reason, and the delivery method, and every approval is logged.
We release to the affected individual, the organization or platform responsible for moderation, or, where conduct may be criminal, to the appropriate authorities. We do not publish case files publicly.
Subjects of investigations may contest findings. Where a contest is supported by evidence, the case is reopened and a correction is issued to every party that received the original package.
