How Modern Investigations Evolve Beyond the First Questions

Customer Interview with Prescient

A client’s initial investigative question may be clear, but the path to the answer rarely is. A monitoring request becomes a threat attribution case. A due diligence investigation expands when a new lead emerges from another data source. Evidence surfaces where no one expected to find it.

In this interview, Justin Gramajo speaks with Prescient’s Jon Taber about what modern investigations demand as scope, evidence, and client needs evolve. A digitally enhanced investigations firm and long-time Maltego customer, Prescient shares how its teams adapt to each case, combine broad data access with investigator judgment, and turn findings into actionable insights for clients.

Watch the full conversation to hear practical examples of how investigations pivot, why verification and context matter as automation grows, and what clients should ask when choosing an investigative partner.
