Our investigative process ...

 The first clue ...

To illustrate our extraordinary SIS services (Emery typing here, with Avery as the photographer), follow along as I walk you through how we naturally operate when chasing down a big mystery. First and foremost, you always have to keep your senses open for both the "in the weeds" and "the big picture" details.

For example, take this picture above as the first clue for solving the next great mystery. You have to ask yourself, "What am I looking at exactly; is it a micro- or macro-view?" while always keeping in mind, "What does it mean in the context of the mystery at hand?".

 ... the second clue ...

With each new piece of evidence you have to evaluate separately and then jointly with all of the other previous clues to detect a pattern, then pulling that thread deeper for a current line of reasoning.

 ... the third clue ...

As you start to tie these separate clues together, a theme might suddenly appear ... or likewise, new evidence redirects your current thinking to some new underlying theme.

 ... the "Eureka Moment" clue ...

As in all great mysteries, there will be a clue that suddenly bridges the gap between all other clues and confirms your hunches and direction. The picture above is that very eureka moment where you suddenly realize all of those previous clues were just close-ups of a pretty pink jacket worn by someone, but the real mystery is, who is that person???

 ... an "Almost There" clue ...

As each additional clue appears, you progressively get closer and closer and closer to solving the mystery. Aha ... well, hello there Sophie!!!

... the "Aha Moment"!!!
