Advanced Operations

At the center of Spade Industries lies Advanced Operations ̶ specialized programs engineered for challenges beyond the reach of ordinary investigation. These initiatives integrate absolute discretion, advanced technologies, and proven investigative frameworks to produce clarity in even the most hostile environments. Project ACE and the SPADE Interviewing Method exemplify this ethos, each representing a distinct but unified path toward intelligence, precision, and truth.

Project ACE

Project ACE — Advanced Covert Extraction — represents the apex of Spade Industries. More than a service, ACE is our all-out effort: the point at which every advanced tool, technology, and method is brought to bear on behalf of the client.

Created for cases where compromise is not an option, ACE pushes beyond the limits of conventional investigation. From surveillance and background intelligence to wrongful death inquiries and corporate due diligence, the resources within ACE apply across every type of case. What sets it apart is the integration of technologies and methodologies not yet common in the private sector — systems and capabilities designed to push the envelope of what’s possible.

The framework is built on four pillars: Covert Penetration, Surveillance Integration, Cover Operations, and Intelligence Extraction. Together, these elements ensure precision, discretion, and results in even the most complex environments.

Veritas Per Silentium — Truth Through Silence

SPADE Interviewing Method

The SPADE Interviewing Method is a proprietary framework designed to transform questioning into intelligence. Built on decades of investigative and interviewing experience, it follows five key stages — Strategic Planning, Positioning, Assessment, Dissection, and Extraction.

More than a technique, it is a system for education and development. The SPADE Method equips investigators, legal professionals, and agencies with the structure needed to approach interviews, interrogations, and post-analysis with discipline and precision. Through video review, tailored training modules, and consultation, it identifies strengths, exposes blind spots, and sharpens the ability to gather crucial case information.

It is not theory. It is a tested and proven framework that turns every interview into an opportunity for verified truth.
