Custom research for journalists, authors, podcasters, and investigators

In addition to the published work that appears in The Serpent's Signal, Signal Stack Research LLC offers custom investigative research for clients who need a research partner with a verifiable method.

The work is delivered with discretion. Clients tell the story; the research is theirs to use. Attribution is at the client's discretion.

What's Offered

Tier I — Focused Research

Hourly · Introductory rates

Targeted research on a defined topic, person, institution, or event. Public-record sourcing, written synthesis, source list provided. Suitable for fact-checking, background investigation, or specific question research.

Tier II — Sustained Investigation

Hourly · Introductory rates

Multi-session research on a complex subject. Pattern identification, network mapping, source synthesis, working report delivered. Suitable for journalists and authors developing extended work.

Project Tier — Comprehensive Deliverable

Flat rate · Scope-dependent

Full investigative report on a defined subject. Sourced, structured, illustrated where appropriate. Delivered as a usable research product the client can build on. Three tiers available based on scope and length.

How It Works

Step One: Initial contact. Describe what you're researching, what you've already covered, and where you need a research partner.

Step Two: Scope discussion. We establish what's possible, what's realistic, and what the deliverable looks like.

Step Three: Agreement and start. Hourly or flat rate, depending on tier. Research begins.

Step Four: Delivery. Sourced, organized, ready to use.

What Won't Be Done

No fabrication. No claims without sources. No manufactured coordination findings. No work that violates the three-color methodology. The discipline that governs the published work also governs the custom work.

If a client wants a specific conclusion regardless of evidence, this is not the right research partner.
