The four phases

How a Investment Payback Ltd engagement actually unfolds

Every phase has a defined entry point, a fixed list of deliverables, and a written report at exit. You always know which phase you are in and what comes next.

01

Phase 01 · Intake & feasibility

Report and feasibility

≤ 48 h to feasibility report

You file a confidential intake. Within 48 hours we open a case file, assign an investigator, and issue a written feasibility assessment with a recommended path forward. No fees committed at this stage.

What we do
  • Confidential intake interview, NDA exchanged
  • Case file opened and case code issued
  • Investigator assigned and introduced by name
  • Initial scheme triage and feasibility verdict
What you receive
  • Signed NDA and case code

  • Honest verdict: realistic, partial, or unlikely
  • Quoted fees in writing if you choose to proceed
02

Phase 02 · Investigation & on-chain trace

Set expectations honestly

What we will and will not do

Recovery work fails when expectations diverge from reality. We surface the honest version up front so you can decide before any fees apply.

What we will do

  • Tell you up front whether recovery is realistic
  • Give you a named investigator on day one
  • Update the case timeline as evidence develops
  • Hold recovered funds in segregated custody
  • Quote fees in writing before any work begins

What we will not do

  • Ask for your private keys or seed phrase
  • Ask for your bank or card credentials
  • Promise a fixed recovery percentage upfront
  • Charge a recovery fee before any result
  • Cold-call you offering recovery services

Every active case has a portal. Status, timeline of investigator updates, KYC state, Security Wallet balances, withdrawal history, and a direct support ticket line. No phone tag, no email loops, no impersonation surface.

  • Live case status and phase indicator
  • Timeline of investigator updates and milestones
  • Recovered balances per currency, per case
