This is the article I am building my hypothesis on. If I am able to correlate place of business with an out of town event like a conference and then further refine with gender and ethnic filters.

I understand that companies will perform this analysis on your behalf. Can anyone recommend a "reputable" one?

Heh, only sort of joking, but this is literally Palantirs business model.
I'm not saying it's impossible to put this together sometimes, I just don't think anyone is attempting to do so at a commercial level. It's really pretty unusual that you can heavily monetize the location of a single, real person.
