We present a numerical method of investigating the infrared structure of Padé-approximant QCD. The investigation shows a triple couplant multiplicity structure (a1,a2,a3) present in all flavor states 0<~Nf<~16, as well as two couplant bifurcation points at two critical momenta Qmin and Qmax. The nature and interpretation of these structures is discussed and related to some earlier findings by other methods.
