Use Tracers if:
You need general-purpose skip tracing, asset searches, SSN traces, or criminal background checks on non-healthcare individuals. Tracers is built for PI firms, collections, and general investigative work across all industries.
Use Medistill if:
You need healthcare-specific provider intelligence for medical malpractice litigation: enforcement database screening (130+ sources), court case research (10M+ cases), billing anomaly detection, pharma payment conflicts, peer comparison for standard of care, and hospital staffing analysis. This is the depth Tracers doesn't go to.
Use both if:
You need Tracers for general identity verification and asset searches on parties and witnesses, plus Medistill for the deep healthcare provider intelligence layer: enforcement screening, case law, billing analysis, and peer comparison. Different tools for different layers of the same case.
