Forensic Intelligence for Distressed Situations.
Record extraction, transaction tracing, and forensic reporting for bankruptcy attorneys, trustees, receivers, and litigators. Court-ready output. Engagement-based pricing. Findings before your next hearing.
The problem is large. Most of it goes unrecovered.
Six disciplines. One engagement.
Record Extraction
Structured, searchable output from PDFs, scanned docs, encrypted files, and legacy formats — regardless of condition or source.
Transaction Tracing
Financial flows reconstructed across accounts, entities, and time periods. Fraudulent transfers, preference payments, and avoidance actions identified and documented.
Entity Mapping
Ownership and relationship graphs built from corporate filings, emails, and contracts. Hidden connections surfaced and made presentable to counsel.
Data Recovery
Deleted, corrupted, or obfuscated records recovered from databases, drives, and cloud exports. If it existed, we find it.
Timeline Reconstruction
Events from disparate sources synthesized into a single, court-ready chronological record.
Expert Reporting

Common questions from counsel.
Who handles forensic record recovery for bankruptcy trustees?+
Specialist forensic firms engaged by Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 trustees to recover, extract, and analyze financial records of debtor estates — including encrypted, deleted, or legacy-format records that the trustee's counsel cannot access directly. Vector Engineering handles these engagements with chain-of-custody preservation suitable for §547 preference and §548 fraudulent-transfer actions.
How do I find missing financial records in a Chapter 11 case?+
Records reported as 'lost' or 'destroyed' frequently exist in backup systems, cloud accounting tenants, email archives, or recoverable storage media. A forensic engagement reconstructs the record set, documents the recovery, and produces an integrity-hashed corpus suitable for Schedules A/B, SOFA, and motion practice.
What does forensic document extraction cost?+
Engagement-based pricing scoped to document volume, format complexity, and timeline. A pre-engagement scope call establishes a fixed fee or capped budget — no hourly billing surprises. Contact engage@vectorengineering.co for a same-day scope review.
Can findings be used in court?+
Yes. All work product is produced with chain-of-custody documentation, SHA-256 integrity manifests, and source citations sufficient for expert declarations, cross-examination, and adversary proceeding exhibits.
