Best suited for
Businesses facing fake reviews, misleading profiles, or harmful search results.
Examples

Typical work may include

Monitoring & Intelligence
For recurring or known digital risks that require defined monitoring, human review, evidence logging, and escalation when actionable findings appear.
Best suited for
Businesses with a known, recurring risk, or anyone wanting visibility before committing to a full case.
Examples
- Material that keeps reappearing after a prior takedown
- A known seller or account with a history of infringement
- Ongoing visibility into a defined set of assets or terms
- Findings that need review before becoming a formal case
Typical work may include
Defining what is being watched, AI-assisted collection of candidate findings, human review, and escalation into the relevant service when something is confirmed.
Problems often overlap
One incident can involve more than one service — the situations below are common combinations, not separate cases.
- Copied product images appearing inside a counterfeit marketplace listing
- Brand impersonation paired with damaging reviews about the same business
- Repeated piracy of the same course or file, reuploaded after removal
- Marketplace abuse that continues after a first report, better addressed with ongoing monitoring
