About the Firm
Mandalay Research Group (MRG) operates at the intersection of investigative consulting and strategic research.
Unlike traditional private investigation firms focused primarily on surveillance, we specialize in research-driven investigations designed to support legal strategy, investment decisions, risk management, and complex problem-solving. We deliver intelligence, not just information.
Our methodology draws from professional investigative and consulting disciplines:
Structured investigative frameworks
Advanced open-source intelligence (OSINT)
Corporate and financial research
Analytical synthesis of complex information
Professional reporting suitable for legal and business use.
MRG is an independent investigative intelligence firm providing advanced research, strategic investigations, and analytical insight to organizations, attorneys, investors, and private clients.
Founded by an experienced investigator and consultant with a background in complex investigative matters, the firm combines sophisticated open-source intelligence techniques, structured analysis, and investigative rigor to uncover critical facts and deliver clear, defensible conclusions.
We help clients reduce uncertainty, identify risk, and make informed decisions when the stakes matter most.
