There are 800 names that need investigation+protection, presumably the more difficult ones since you probably prioritized the easier cases. How much would it cost to hire investigators to do all 800?
It varies by the country’s policing capability, citizens online footprint, the history and status of the feud, the severity of the online element and language barriers as well as highly variable economies of scale such as an effective engagement with a law enforcement agency.
The only ones that have come close to this have been the FBI and the Bundespolizei (German Federal Police) where there is evidence they did at least a basic investigation of every major case based on a medium (US) and very high (Germany) public arrest and prosecution records.
I won’t share exact figures as my hiring of detectives is still in the ‘trial and error phase’, but it cost over £1000 to work one case in Japan, and nearly that to work the one case I have in New Zealand.
In somewhere like India I would get a far cheaper day rate, but you often have to retain lawyers (and likely bribes) and other costs to get things done there. Yet in countries like US, Canada and Europe, instead of corruption you have the complex bureucracy of even reporting these effectively.
Appriasing these case is something I am actively working on, so I can publish this info to capture the interest of people from those countries.
It sounds like you are saying it should cost <$50,000 to get all 800 cases taken care of. How many lives do you think this would save in expectation? Based on what you said above, maybe like 5? So that’s $10,000/life, not bad eh? And if it’s more than 5 in expectation then this is really cost-effective. (And if it’s less, it’s still somewhat cost-effective compared to most charities.)

Yes, but it’s probably closer to saving maybe 25 lives, and saving 500 people from stalking/abuse/etc
