The investigators are given free reign for how the choose to investigate their contract. If at any point an investigator denies or goes back on the contract it is either offered to another investigator or the money is returned.

Reputation

Among the different kingdoms the Coalition for Hearsay Authentication hold a overall favorable relationship, as part of their policy, they will refuse contracts from any kingdom that involves investigation of another kingdom, no matter the circumstance. While many rulers have ridiculed the Coalition for not aiding them in political investigation all the Kingdoms are comfortable in the knowledge that they are not currently being investigated by officials of another kingdom.  It has also become a common practice to withdraw your contract if it ends up with the Investigator Jaime, one of the founders of the Coalition, due to his proclivity with explosions.
