The investigation stack, tool by tool.

01 Spotlight

Turn your agent into an investigative system

An agentic pipeline for OSINT investigations, with methodology planning, research cycles, fact-checking, human review, and a reusable case archive.

Read more about Spotlight
  • Approve the plan

    An investigator agent drafts the brief from established investigative methodology and Indicator’s archives. You approve it before any work starts.

  • Search and scrape

    Find public sources and save useful pages into the case.

  • Browser research

    Use your authorised browser session for forms, portals, tables, and downloads.

  • Archive the evidence

    Saved pages and files are fingerprinted on capture, so you can show later that nothing was altered.

  • Automated fact-check

    A separate checker tests each finding; you review its verdicts and gaps.

  • Build on past cases

    Verified findings are written into a wiki on your own machine, ready for the next investigation.

02 Scoutpost

Monitor the sources that matter and surface leads

Monitor pages, social profiles, city councils, aircraft, vessels, and your beat while you focus on reporting.

  • Agent-controlled monitors

    Ask your agent to create, run, or search your scouts.

  • Monitor web pages

    Check selected URLs for meaningful changes.

  • Monitor social accounts

    Track public posts and supported deletions.

  • Track aircraft and vessels

    Watch named aircraft or vessels inside a chosen area.

  • Email alerts

    Get an email when a scout finds something to review.

  • Stored changes

    Keep dated, source-linked findings and optional page snapshots.

04 Splash

Agent system for producing graphics and visualising information

Turn source material and data into reviewed charts, maps, scrollytelling, video, and static visuals.

Read more about Splash
  • Understand the material

    Read the investigation, source material, and data.

  • Recommend the form

    Proposes the forms the evidence supports, and says no when your data won’t carry the one you asked for.

  • Forty-four graphics

    Thirty-two chart forms, eight map forms, and four scrollytelling formats.

  • Live data

    Graphics are written as code, so a corrected or updated figure re-renders instead of being redrawn.

  • Video

    Animated versions of the same graphic, cut to landscape, square, or portrait.

  • Deploy and embed

    Self-contained iframes with hosted embed code, ready for any CMS.
