The Private Detectives and Investigators capability card.
One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.
There are 35,580 private detectives and investigators in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.
The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.
A client or contracting officer scanning ten private detectives and investigators wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.
The systems you actually run — on the record.
Listing the software and platforms you work with is a quiet credibility signal buyers notice. These are the hot and in-demand technologies O*NET associates with private detectives and investigators (★ = flagged hot technology). Your card shows the ones that fit your shop.
A real market — compete on proof, not price.
Nationally, 35,580 private detectives and investigators earn a median of $51,220 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.
The knowledge that makes the work credible.
These are the expertise areas O*NET ranks highest for private detectives and investigators. On a capability card they read as depth — not buzzwords.
- English Language
- Customer and Personal Service

Where the steady budgets actually are.
Federal agencies obligated $5.6B in Security Guards and Patrol Services contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
One link that does the proving for you.
