Security and Justice Research Firm
We specialize in criminal analysis and investigative research. Between 2021 and 2023, we collaborated within an intelligence task force at Mexico´s Attorney General's Office, contributing to the analysis of federal investigations. That experience shaped our approach to investigative work: combining technical rigor, contextual analysis and ethical responsibility to better understand the dynamics of violence and organized crime.
Since then, we have brought that approach into the field of strategic consulting, supporting public institutions, companies, and organizations who face challenges in security, justice, and risk management. From colleagues to friends, and now business partners, we founded A67 together. The number 67 refers to a case file that profoundly shaped our professional practice and ultimately gave rise to the firm. A67 is our way of putting our knowledge and experience at the service of institutions seeking to understand and confront complex forms of violence.
We believe in the value of cross-sector collaboration to design and advance impactful initiatives that address shared challenges. Today, at Archivo 67, we transform data and information into clear analysis for better-informed decision-making.
