Excerpts, Always without names.

Arcadia Company publishes, in anonymized form, a selection of the cases handled. Identifying details — names of natural and legal persons, exact dates, specific locations, corporate names, professional references — are systematically altered or omitted in compliance with professional secrecy and EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR). What remains intact is the investigation structure: the problem addressed, the methodology applied, the result achieved and the metric that summarises it.

Why we publish cases

In the Italian investigative sector, confidentiality is an absolute value. Yet that same confidentiality can become an obstacle for anyone needing to assess an agency without concrete reference points. Commercial statements and certifications attest what an agency is authorised to do — not what it has actually done, with which method and with which result.

The publication of cases stems from a choice of methodological transparency: we want those who rely on us to do so based on evidence, not promises. Each file is selected to represent an operational category in which Arcadia Company has developed deep expertise and documented results, over more than nine years of uninterrupted activity.

The anonymisation process

Before any publication, the file undergoes an internal anonymisation protocol structured in three phases:

• Identifying data substitution: names of natural and legal persons, addresses, cadastral references and tax codes are replaced with fictitious equivalents consistent with the narrative context.
• Temporal and geographic blurring: dates are altered within a plausible range; cities or regions are generalized when precise indication would alone constitute a sufficient identifying element.
• Internal validation: the anonymised file is internally verified to exclude any risk of direct or indirect re‑identification before publication.

How to read the cases

Each record is structured uniformly. The reference number (e.g. № 1198) is extracted from the agency’s internal register: numbers are not consecutive because only some files are published, not the entire case base. The highlighted metric — days, devices, percentages, amounts — summarises the most relevant result of the investigation.

The operational categories covered by the current selection include: tracing of persons and international notifications, pre‑acquisition due diligence and corporate mapping, graphology expertise and criminal defensive investigations, TSCM sweeps for environmental interceptions, asset investigations in the family context, absenteeism and double‑employment control, identification of anonymous authors through OSINT.

Note on the selection: the published cases represent a fraction of the agency’s overall activity. For confidentiality reasons and due to the sensitive nature of the investigations, most files remain confidential to the client alone and are not intended for any form of dissemination, not even in anonymised form.
