1 - The meeting
Are you looking for a Geneva-based private detective agency to help you solve a personal or professional problem?
Let's meet.
This first step is essential in any investigation process. A face-to-face meeting* is essential, not only to establish a climate of mutual trust, but also to ensure a thorough understanding of your expectations and the issues at stake in your case.
The aim is to identify your specific needs so that we can tailor our approach optimally. An initial meeting forms the solid basis for a successful collaboration and an effective investigation.
* To ensure maximum discretion and confidentiality, we prefer to meet in places that are suitable for confidential exchanges. We can also come to your home or office, if the situation allows.
2 - Feasibility study
The feasibility study is a key step in ensuring the success of your survey.
When you call on AGOP, this decisive phase determines whether your request can be carried out successfully. This in-depth analysis identifies the objectives to be achieved and assesses the resources needed to achieve them.
Methodology used
Analysis of the legitimacy and feasibility of your request
We examine your request in detail, assessing its legitimacy and ensuring that the desired objective is achievable. This preliminary analysis enables us to check that your request complies with the legislation and ethical rules governing the private detective profession.
Identification of resources and tools required
Once your request is deemed legitimate and feasible, we identify the resources, skills and tools needed to carry out the survey. We also analyze potential constraints, such as risks, obstacles and deadlines.
Assessing staffing needs
Depending on the nature of the investigation, we determine whether it can be carried out by a single detective or whether a team is required.
Estimated survey duration
Based on the elements analyzed, we estimate the duration of the survey, either in days, hours, or in the form of a fixed price adapted to the type of survey to be carried out.
This feasibility study is, of course, non-binding and is designed to offer you a solution that is perfectly adapted to your needs.
3 - Validating the quote
After the meeting and the feasibility study, the validation of the estimate is a necessary step in the process of your request. Before launching the survey, it is our duty to provide you with a precise estimate of the fees and expenses associated with the assignment.
The parameters we take into account
Geographical area
Prices vary according to the area in which the survey is carried out.
Nature of the mission
The complexity and type of assignment (adultery, unfair competition, corporate theft, etc.) determine the resources needed, such as the number of agents and the specific skills required.
Survey duration
Long or complex surveys generally involve a higher budget than a typical survey.
Terms and conditions
Although there is no surcharge for assignments carried out at night, on weekends or public holidays, our rates may be adjusted according to the specific means employed, such as the equipment required or the resources mobilized for the investigation.
Topography
Surveys in urban and rural areas require different human and technical resources, which has an impact on costs.
Travel expenses
Kilometers travelled outside the canton of Geneva during the course of the assignment are billed according to an established scale, or as a lump sum adapted to specific needs.

Transparency and follow-up
We inform you promptly of any additional expenses that may arise during the course of the investigation. This financial transparency ensures consistent, controlled management of your budget, perfectly aligned with the investigations carried out.

It is intended to demonstrate to the various parties involved that the investigation has been carried out in a serious and objective manner, without modification or interpretation.

Legal value of the report

However, the legal value of the report remains subject to the sovereign discretion of the judge, in accordance with the principle of personal conviction.
