Programs
What we are building, and how far along it is.
Every program below carries its real status. We would rather show you an honest roadmap than a page of features that don't exist yet. Nothing here is for sale, and we are not taking payments.
Now
- In preparation
Rules Watch
A dated log of changes to private investigator statutes, administrative rules, and licensing board notices, starting with Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Each entry will link to the official text and give its effective date. We are building it with licensed investigators in those states.
- Open now
Practitioner conversations
Short interviews with working professionals in all six disciplines. What do you rely on, what do you lack, and what would make an association worth joining? Volunteer for a conversation
- Available
Licensing resources
Official licensing authorities and governing statutes for the states we cover, linked directly. Licensing resources
- Published
Code of Conduct
A single ethical standard for all six disciplines, including human oversight of AI-assisted decisions and protection for people who report misconduct. Read the Code
Next
Planned. Each opens once there are enough practitioners involved to do it well.
- Planned
Membership
A cross-discipline membership with one member, one vote. Any dues will be stated plainly before anyone is asked to pay them, and they will not be tax-deductible as charitable contributions.
- Planned
Mentorship
Experienced practitioners paired with people earlier in their careers, within and across disciplines.
- Planned
Publications and case analyses
Practice notes and cross-discipline case studies written by and for practitioners, each with sources and a date.
- Planned
Professional development
Courses and study guides for working professionals. We will not describe any course as carrying continuing-education credit unless the relevant state board or accrediting body has approved it.
- Planned
Events
Regional meetings and online sessions that bring disciplines together around real cases and current rules.
Under study
Ideas we are researching before we commit to anything.
- Under study
Rules Watch for more states
Expanding coverage beyond the first three states once the format has proven useful.
- Under study
Professional directory
A member directory with clear limits. Any directory we publish will point to official state licensing records rather than claim to replace them.
