The importance of timing in investigations

I was reading about how case resolution can hinge on timing, and it got me thinking. A study from a few years ago suggested that investigations launched within two weeks of an event are three times more likely to yield useful results. Does anyone have recent examples or benchmarks that highlight how crucial timing is in private investigations?
