Cannabis Diversion & Loss Investigations
Find where the product and the cash are going
In cannabis, missing inventory is not just lost revenue. It is a compliance failure that can put your license at risk. When product leaves the legal supply chain or cash never reaches the deposit, we determine who is responsible and how it is happening, and we build evidence that stands up.
What We Do
Diversion Is a Loss Problem and a License Problem
Every gram that leaves the legal chain and every dollar that never hits the deposit is both a hit to your margin and a mark against your license. We reconcile the records, work the operation from the inside, and trace losses back to the specific people and processes behind them, then hand you evidence you can act on.
A number that will not reconcile is a starting point, not an answer. We identify who is responsible and how the loss is happening so you can stop it.
Investigations are conducted with chain-of-custody discipline so findings support termination, insurance claims, or referral to law enforcement.
We work quietly inside live operations, protecting the investigation and the reputations of employees who turn out to be uninvolved.
Because diversion is also a compliance failure, our reports are structured to help you demonstrate corrective action to regulators.

Frequently asked questions
How do cannabis operators find out who is stealing product or cash?
We reconcile seed-to-sale records against physical inventory to pinpoint where, when, and how product and cash go missing, then work the operation from the inside with discreet employee investigations and covert surveillance. A number that will not reconcile is a starting point, not an answer; we trace the loss to a specific person and process so you can stop it.
What is cannabis product diversion?
Diversion is product leaving the legal supply chain, including out-the-back-door sales and inventory routed to the illicit market. It is not just lost revenue; it is a compliance failure that can put your license at risk.
Can an investigation help before a state track-and-trace audit?
Yes. We conduct independent review of manifests and track-and-trace data to identify discrepancies before they surface in a state audit or enforcement action. Because diversion is also a compliance failure, our reports are structured to help you demonstrate corrective action to regulators.
Will my employees know an investigation is underway?
No. We work quietly inside live operations, protecting both the investigation and the reputations of employees who turn out to be uninvolved. Strict confidentiality is maintained throughout the engagement.
Can the evidence be used to fire an employee or press charges?
Yes. Investigations are conducted with chain-of-custody discipline, and surveillance is court-admissible, so findings support termination, insurance claims, or referral to law enforcement. Most cases can start within 24 to 48 hours; call or text 24/7 at (888) 965-5150 for a free confidential consultation.
