I have many other investigations I would like to see happen, so if there is a way to buy this as a service, in a way that will produce decent investigations, then I would very gladly pay substantial sums of my personal money for this.
We did go around and ask many other people whether they would be willing to take on this investigation, all of which declined, but we didn’t explore the option of paying a large sum directly for this, and I at least don’t have any contacts for people I expect would be willing to do this.
If you have any references to people who could be paid to do this kind of work in a high-integrity way, I would really love to be put in touch with them.
The answer I’m tempted towards is, of course, “Me”—for things that can be done remotely, at least. It’s something I’ve done professionally only in the context of podcast production and I don’t want to claim extraordinary experience or overstate my qualifications, but I do think I have a few unusual traits that make me well-suited for that sort of thing and it’s a process I take seriously.
Part of why I hesitate there is that I can’t do anything near-future (next five months or so) due to my commitments and don’t want to throw my hat in a ring where I’m too busy to ever do anything, but it’s a general style of work I enjoy and am open to.
I prefer to do more than idly self-promote, though—I’ll consider the question further.
I think paying a friendly outsider would be the best option. I don’t expect I have much say in this, since I don’t have much spare money, so I will not be the one heiring. But I would like TracingWoodsgrains to look into the Nonlinear story.

Good question. Let me think on it.
