The dossier refers to all available materials that relate to one specific issue. It is possible to collect such information both on an individual person and on a legal entity as a whole.
Instruction manual
1
Define the purpose of the information. The path of your future search will depend on this. In order for the dossier to be well compiled and provide the full requested information about the object, write down on points all the parties that need to be covered. If you need to find information about a person, at a minimum, you will need data such as last name, first name and patronymic, gender, phone number, date and place of birth, address of residence. It will not be amiss to collect information about the time and place of study, work, occupation. For a deeper analysis, you will need information about appearance, hobbies and personality traits, marital status and immediate relatives. To conduct a deeper analysis, it is necessary to collect basic information about the loved ones of a given person.
2
Gather information that is publicly available. A lot of data can be obtained from the Internet. If you are studying the activities of a company, go not only to its official website, but also to those that mention the name of this organization, or key persons who are its employees or founders. Information about an individual can be obtained from social networks. There you can get information about his appearance, friends, hobbies and tastes. On some sites you can even find out what a person is doing at the moment if he is blogging or changing statuses.
3
Work with background information. If you know only one fact from a person’s biography or company activities, you can start with it, gradually increasing information. Based on the already known data, you can deepen into the study of the object. Use non-standard ways of finding information. Sometimes you can learn a lot about a person by meeting with his former school teacher, and you can learn a lot about the organization by talking with former employees.
