The SleuthIQ Mission: Tradecraft for a Volatile World

In an era of information overload, clarity is the ultimate tactical advantage. If a situation doesn’t make sense, it isn’t just an anomaly, it’s a collection requirement.

 

SleuthIQ operates at the intersection of elite field investigations and advanced Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to map the information gaps that others refuse to touch.

We do not operate in a narrow lane; we follow the data wherever it leads: People, Records, Networks, Money, History, and Motive. Our agency manages the full arc of the Intelligence Cycle, from identifying initial anomalies to delivering final, actionable explanations.

Our services include:

• Strategic Litigation Support

• Community & Threat Intelligence

• Digital Risk & Reputation Protection

• Opposition Research

• Political Intelligence

• Counternarrative & Propaganda Analysis
 

We serve private clients, small businesses, NGOs, and court appointments. We take on the engagements that others pass over; not because they are simple, but because they require disciplined analysis and uncomfortable conclusions.

No theatrics. No narrative shaping. No comfort answers. Just intelligence, clarity, and results.

Our Capabilities

Digital Risk & Narrative Intelligence

Everyone leaves a digital footprint, but few know how to secure it. We leverage advanced OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tradecraft to map adversarial narratives, build in depth backgrounds, identify data leaks, and neutralize digital vulnerabilities. We go beyond monitoring to perform active propaganda analysis and counternarrative strategy, defending your perimeter and reputation against coordinated disinformation and targeted digital attacks. Whether you are an individual needing a backround check, a small business with reputational risk or a large corporation, we have an intelligence solution to fit your budget. 

Geopolitical & Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT)

Global situational awareness for individuals, businesses, families, and NGOs. We provide the "ground truth" for those operating or traveling in volatile regions. SleuthIQ maintains access to a global network of civilian pay-per-use satellites, giving us the capability to pre-plan and schedule high-resolution imagery to be captured during specific satellite passes. Whether verifying a remote asset, assessing a travel route, planning a vacation or monitoring a facility, we provide a bird’s-eye view on demand.

Strategic Vetting & Political Intelligence

Navigating the unseen landscape of power and competition. We deliver deep-dive opposition research and political intelligence for those operating in contested environments. We map local influence, vet potential partners or rivals, and provide the "ground truth" necessary to navigate complex regulatory or competitive shifts and fight back false narratives.

Financial Forensics & Litigation Intelligence

We follow the data across complex banking networks, shell companies, and hidden assets. By fusing financial forensics with deep-web collection, we surface the facts required to provide a decisive edge in high-stakes civil disputes, fraud investigations, and asset recovery. Whether you are a small business or a corporation, trust our intelligence to guide your mission. 

Defense Intelligence & Evidentiary Analysis

For civil and criminal defense teams that cannot afford to rely on theories. We conduct objective evidentiary analysis to find what was missed, ignored, or suppressed by initial investigators. We turn raw discovery into a strategic roadmap for trial counsel, ensuring every vulnerability in the opposition's case is identified.

Technical Services & Field Intelligence (TSCM)

Surgical, discreet, and technically superior. We provide Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) to identify illicit & illegal electronic intercepts (bugs, listening devices, tap & trace devices) and secure your physical environment. Our field operations integrate countersurveillance and strategic collection to gather intelligence that is both legally defensible and operationally decisive. We don’t just "watch"—we neutralize the threat's ability to observe you.

Forensic Reconstruction & Expert Testimony

Our subject matter experts provide authoritative analysis on gang dynamics, use of force, and crime scene reconstruction. We build our testimony on verifiable evidence and rigorous analytic integrity, providing the court with clarity rooted in forensic fact rather than narrative opinion.

The Full Arc of Intelligence

From first anomaly to final explanation, we handle the problems others pass over. If you have an information gap that needs to be mapped, SleuthIQ provides the solution.

Eric Zelaya

Director of Intelligence

Eric Zelaya

When operational environments become complex or politically sensitive, Eric Zelaya provides the collection and analysis required to navigate the noise.

As the Director of Intelligence for SleuthIQ, he manages high-stakes intelligence requirements for criminal defense, RICO, and adversarial network monitoring. He is the professional asset law firms and organizations call when a situation is stalled, the data is fragmented, or the baseline has been compromised.

His tradecraft was forged in the Florida Department of Corrections gang units, where he specialized in Security Threat Group (STG) intelligence collection and threat assessments. He carries that experience into the private sector, identifying the underlying patterns and organized networks that traditional investigators miss.

Eric does not sell comfort, reassurance, or buzzwords. He delivers the actionable insights and strategic leverage required to secure a definitive advantage for his clients. He speaks the unvarnished truth, providing the analytic integrity necessary for informed decision-making in high-risk environments.

Real Cases. Real Results

Every engagement is a data problem that needs a solution. Most people stop at the surface, but we do not.

These operational briefs show our methodology when the pressure is on. We disrupt adversarial narratives, find what was missed, and transform raw data into actionable intelligence. Whether it is corporate fraud, criminal defense, or public corruption, the problem is always the same. Someone did not look hard enough.

At SleuthIQ, we do not take cases off the shelf. We use the full intelligence cycle to tear down complex problems and rebuild them into a strategic roadmap for our clients.

Police car

Leadership, Not Liability

The state tried to hang a murder on a gang leader because it fit the story. We proved it didn’t fit the facts. By breaking down how the gang actually functioned—who gives orders, how information moves, and what doesn’t get communicated—we showed our client neither ordered nor could have anticipated the shooting. The evidence forced the issue. Life on the table became a plea under 15 years

Corruption Runs Deep

A former county tax collector thought he was being clever. We proved he was being criminal. By tracking bidders, money, and internal communications, we showed how tax lien auctions were quietly manipulated through family members and proxy entities. Insider timing did the rest. When the bidding history was rebuilt from the ground up, the pattern was clear: public assets funneled to a private circle.

Government Building
Bank Notes

Ghost in the Bank

Our client was being lined up as the fall guy in a check fraud case. We followed the money. By tearing apart ACH metadata, authorization logs, and transaction timing, we uncovered a shadow account buried inside the payment processor itself. Employees were skimming micro-deposits and batch transfers in plain sight. Once the flow was mapped, the story flipped. The fraud wasn’t external. It was internal.
