Hello, I can take on this historical public-web investigation. I read your scope carefully: archived/public sources only, no account access, no credential use, no bypassing anything, and that's exactly how I'd approach it. Systematic pull of archived material tied to the username (Wayback Machine snapshots, cached search results, old forum/blog archives, indexed public datasets). This is the best option because it reconstructs the public footprint without touching anything private, so the findings are safely usable regardless of what you plan to do with them. Organised findings report (chronological log of posts/mentions/quotations found, with source links and capture dates). This is the best option because you can verify every claim yourself in seconds rather than taking my word for it. I have 3 completed deliveries on this platform (0 of them OSINT/archive-research specifically), but web-archive research is straightforward, methodical work and I'll document my sources as I go so you can check my method, not just my conclusions. Two quick questions: 1. Do you have the exact username/handle and roughly what time period to focus on? 2. Is a chronological written log sufficient, or would you also like a simple spreadsheet index of sources? Suggested milestone breakdown (total: USD 30, 3 days): - M1 - USD 6 (20%): initial source sweep, confirm the trail is findable - M2 - USD 12 (40%): full archive pull and cross-referencing - M3 - USD 12 (40%): final organised report with source links Ready to begin the moment you award + fund M1.
