How does an intake at Paucitas work?
In short: The intake at Paucitas is a single conversation in which three things become clear: what happened, which question you want answered, and whether an investigation can achieve anything in your situation. Only after that does anything start, and only then do you hear the price.

The steps of an intake at Paucitas
First you describe the course of events and the question. We test whether that question can be answered with blockchain data and which outcome is realistic. If an investigation is unlikely to achieve much, we say so in this conversation.
You then receive a data list: an overview of exactly the material needed, such as transactions, addresses, exports, correspondence and bank statements. Next we establish the starting point, for example whether the provider exists and whether you still have access to your wallet or account; that sets the scope. Finally you receive the engagement confirmation with the question, the scope, the lead time and the price.
What you supply
For the intake with Paucitas a short description is enough, plus whatever you happen to have to hand. It does not need to be complete; the rest follows through the list you receive after the conversation. Where needed we help with gathering it.
What you receive
The intake with Paucitas produces a clear answer on whether an investigation makes sense, a data list, and if yes an engagement confirmation with question, scope, lead time and price. Handover of material is digital or at the office at Weesperstraat 107 in Amsterdam.
An intake commits you to nothing. We only start once you have agreed to the engagement confirmation.
How to get started
Get in touch with Paucitas with a few lines about what happened. We schedule the conversation and tell you what you can already look up in the meantime.

In the intake we make no undertaking about the outcome. What we do is be honest about the chance that an investigation will yield something.

Frequently asked questions
About your case
How does an intake at Paucitas work?
Paucitas does this in one conversation: you describe the case and the question, we test whether an investigation is worthwhile, you receive a data list and then an engagement confirmation.
Does an intake cost anything?
Paucitas explains: the intake is the conversation that decides whether there is an engagement; you get the price before anything starts.
Do I need to have all the data already?
Paucitas: no. A short description is enough for the intake; the rest you supply using the list you receive afterwards.
