Investigative journalism is structurally scarce — less than 2% of newspaper journalism can be characterized as investigative — while the need to expose corruption, abuse, and injustice has never been greater. The technology to fight back now exists. Buried Signals is built to close that gap.

I use AI to investigate, collaborate, and distribute. Monitoring agents scan thousands of sources for signals. Research pipelines cross-reference documents, verify claims, and surface patterns no individual could find alone. Visual storytelling turns what they uncover into investigations people can follow. Everything I build along the way — the tools, the workflows, the methodology — becomes material other journalists can adapt.

After a year of building in public, Buried Signals now has a home with Indicator. I will work alongside Craig Silverman and Alexios Mantzarlis on Indicator investigations, then open the method through a new membership tier for journalists, researchers, and investigators working across misinformation, OSINT, and AI. Information is power — and the ability to find signal in the noise should not belong to the few.
