Most people “invest” based on opinions, trends, or what they hear from friends. We don’t.
The Crawford Research Model was built to separate truth from noise — to identify what’s real, verifiable, and worth attention. It’s not theory. It’s a structured process backed by experience, relationships, and proof.
There are countless approaches to investing — each claiming to be the best. But real success comes from one thing: research.
Research, when done correctly, gives you a deep, unbiased understanding of every possible factor that could affect an opportunity — both seen and unseen. The Crawford Research Model is the culmination of years spent building high-level partnerships across multiple industries, geographies, and asset classes.
Every project we study goes through a disciplined, multi-layered evaluation before it earns our attention. This process is not something you can buy or replicate overnight — it’s built on years of experience, relationships, and credibility.
Built on Relationships. Powered by Experience. Refined by Time.
The process begins when either myself, my partners, or our extended research network identifies a potential opportunity. From there, the evaluation begins — and every step is designed to uncover truth, eliminate hype, and verify authenticity.
What category is the project in, and does it fit our model? Example: If it’s in crypto, is it a real-world asset project, AI, gaming, metaverse, or infrastructure play? What stage is it in — early development, pre-sale, launch, or growth phase? Who are the developers? What makes it unique?
Who owns the project, and what’s their track record? What have they built before? Are there credible advisors or institutional backers? Have they succeeded — or failed — in similar ventures?
Once a project passes the initial filter, it’s sent to our research team for deeper review. Background checks on all key individuals. Verification of licenses, company registrations, and affiliations. Whitepaper and tokenomics analysis for crypto projects.
We leverage our global partnerships to validate authenticity. Communication with banks, liquidity providers, and independent analysts. Independent proof-of-trades where applicable. Due diligence reports from third-party experts.
Whenever possible, I meet key players face-to-face. Real conversation reveals what paper can’t. You can tell a lot about a person or team by looking them in the eye and understanding their conviction.
Finally, we determine whether the project fits within the Crawford framework. Does it align with our values? Does it have a clear path to scalability? Can we add value — or is it better left alone?
Our partnerships are what make this model different.
We don’t just analyze opportunities — we collaborate with leaders who can fill the gaps most projects have. Through our global network, we work with experts in tokenomics and whitepaper analysis, teams specializing in community growth and capital development, and firms handling background checks, market modeling, and structural audits.
Each partner adds another layer of protection and insight — creating a research process that’s impossible to replicate without years of experience and trust. That’s the Crawford difference: depth, access, and alignment.
“Information is everywhere — but verified access is rare.”
Once a project passes through the Crawford Research Model, the outcome is clarity. We know exactly what it is, what it isn’t, and whether it’s worth pursuing.
From there, we decide how — or if — it fits within our broader strategy. Sometimes that means taking a position, sometimes it means partnership, and often it means simply walking away. Our edge isn’t in saying “yes.” It’s in knowing when to say no.
Every decision is guided by discipline, integrity, and alignment with our long-term goals.
“We don’t chase hype — we pursue truth.”
The Crawford Research Model is about depth, not speed. If you’re serious about understanding how real opportunities are identified, verified, and protected, the first step is education. You don’t need to know everything — you just need to partner with those who do.
